What can really be said about Super Mario Bros 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System that hasn’t been said already? This was Nintendo’s unofficial swan song of Mario games for the NES. A game that really showed that the system still had “oomph”. More powerful systems such as the Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx-16 were […]

Survive the Dead in House of the Dead 2 on Sega Dreamcast – Today in History – September 9th, 1999
September 8th, 2014 Carl Williams Arcade ports are Sega’s forte, at least they used to be, and their Dreamcast console was no different.

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.

Got An iPad or iPhone and Love Nintendo?
July 1st, 2014 Carl Williams Following up the success of the recent game collection apps article on Android devices, I thought it would be a good idea to listen the feedback from readers across the Internet and do a Nintendo centric version of the article.

Bandit Gaming: TailTale V1.1 for the Nintendo Wii
July 1st, 2014 Carl Williams Remember Pokemon Puzzle League, Tetris Attack, etc from days gone by (circa late 1990’s)? I was dreadfully hooked on those games for a long time and enjoyed playing each new iteration as I could get it. Rikku2000, of http://u-ac.net, obviously was a fan too as he has released V1.1 of his game, TailTale for the […]

Bandit Gaming: New Asteroids 2.8 for the Nintendo Wii Released
June 29th, 2014 Carl Williams Asteroids is one of those classic titles that most retro gamers feel should be a standard release on day one for new consoles. Great games never get old. Since the Nintendo Wii doesn’t have an official Asteroids game, it is left up to indie developers to fill the void. Now up to version 2.8, Newo […]

Sega Genesis Classics Hitting the U.K. Nintendo eShop

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 […]
