The year 1989 is a historical time in gaming history. After all, it is the year when Sega released the Sega Genesis, Nintendo came out with the Game Boy and Mother (Earthbound Zero), Mattel spawned the Power Glove (it’s so bad) and Mega Man 2 was brought over to the United States. However, there is […]

Five Gaming Licenses that Missed the Mark
July 11th, 2017 Carl Williams Licensing is a staple of gaming. It has been since the Atari 2600 days. Licensing is going nowhere as companies realize they can halfheartedly work on a game, slap a license on it, and expect to at least make back their investment if not a tidy profit to boot. I have collected five licensed games […]

Square Enix Does Cool Thing for Nintendo Wii Owners, at Least Those That Own a Certain Game
April 15th, 2017 Carl Williams Square Enix, a company that catches a lot of flak from gamers; when things get heated they are on par with Ubi Soft’s level of heat. I am not sure they are trying to turn that public image around with this announcement or not, but it is still cool. If you own Dragon Quest X […]

Nintendo Could Not Be Selling Downloaded ROM
January 20th, 2017 Dash The Bomber A recent article by Eurogamer.net has been making the rounds lately. The article tells the story of how Nintendo potentially downloaded a ROM from the web and used it for the Super Mario Bros. game on the Wii Virtual Console. But while this is a possibility, Nintendo could possibly have done this, it’s rather unlikely. […]

Destroy Your Friendships with Dokapon Kingdom
December 19th, 2016 Dash The Bomber Death, betrayal, backstabbing, and the destruction of every relationship you’ve ever held dear, that is Dokapon Kingdom. It is the bastard child of Monopoly and Dragon Quest developed by Sting Entertainment. A mixture of an RPG and a board game, in Dokapon Kingdom your goal is simple: become ludicrously rich while sacrificing all of your […]

Cave Story Coming to Sega Genesis Work in Progress, Playable Demo Available
July 6th, 2016 Carl Williams Cave Story. A game that has made the rounds quite a bit on modern platforms (my first exposure was on the Sony Playstation Portable). Now, we can start ticking off classic, retro, consoles as this 2D action game is coming to the Sega Genesis. If you don’t know what Cave Story is about then you […]

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 […]

Revenge of the License: Densha de Go! Series
October 4th, 2015 Michael Crisman Here’s a new twist for this column. Instead of looking at a game that takes its inspiration from a comic, film, television show, cartoon, or book, today I’m going to look at a series which licenses its game play from the best source on Earth: real life. In this case, miles and miles of railroad […]

Rockbot Review, Fanmade Mega Man Game Rocks
September 30th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, it is pretty clear that Capcom are transitioning down with their new IPs and rebooting of classic titles. That is bad news for everyone but Street Fighter fans, which apparently writes checks in its sleep. Well, there is a dedicated group of fans that are not content with letting Capcom’s blue bomber sit idly […]
