Skies of Arcadia 2?
February 5th, 2017 Dash The Bomber Fans have been clamoring a sequel to Skies of Arcadia for nearly two decades. Unfortunately for them, the possibility of this is nearly non-existent as Sega has no plans for the development of a sequel. Since around 2007, rumors have persisted that Sega would produce an HD remake of Skies of Arcadia but, so far, […]

Baseball Slides Home on Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console (NES) – Today in History – January 1st, 2007
January 1st, 2016 Aaron Hickman What’s one of the first things that any hot new console on the market needs? Sports games! Given the worldwide popularity of baseball (at least in North American and Japan) it was a no-brainer that Nintendo would want to capitalize on the sport for the NES. While I’m not a huge fan of watching baseball […]

Super Mario Kart Probably Ended Your Friendship – September 1st, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
September 1st, 2014 Carl Williams If you are a retro gamer of any sort then you know at least a little bit about Super Mario Kart. This game was not the first racing game, just like Super Mario Bros was not the first side scrolling action game but Nintendo did it their way and created a new genre. Mario and […]

Alien Crush Unleashes Extra Terrestrials into Pinball – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History
August 18th, 2014 Carl Williams The launch of the TurboGrafx-16 was the first, and only, foray into the North American gaming market for NEC (for more information on this see our historical look back here).

Ufouria: This is what the Virtual Console is all about
July 26th, 2014 Nick Abrams Usually I get disappointed when I read about the newest Nintendo downloads every Thursday. This past Thursday seemed like just another lame week of no-name downloads when I first read about them. After doing a bit more research, I see that this is not just another download week. Nintendo put up a game that was […]

Wii U Virtual Console…did Nintendo get it right?
July 2nd, 2014 Nick Abrams So, as it turns out, Nintendo did announce the Virtual Console for the Wii U during their Nintendo Direct presentation today. NES, SNES, and even GBA titles were discussed. One key item the Wii U VC needed was off tv play on the Gamepad and, thankfully, Nintendo confirmed that this will be available. Unfortunately, this […]

Today in History: November 22nd, 2012- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Slashed Onto the 3DS Virtual Console
November 22nd, 2013 Carl Williams Thought of as a sort of black sheep in the Zelda series, though a good one, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is definitely worth a playthrough even today. Nintendo knows how to market, that has been proven time and time again, though here, those skills were not as well refined. The love for Zelda […]
