I can’t see much personal use for the line of RetroDuo consoles since all my old consoles work, but there is some novelty in having the “Gen-X” a third party hybrid that plays Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis games. Remember when the two companies were mortal enemies?   There are two other models of [...]

Back on the Famicom, Capcom developed a Mega Man party game. However, Wily & Light's Rockboard: That's Paradise!! isn’t a mini-game collection like Mario Party. Rockboard shares more in common with Monopoly or Enix’s Itadaki Street series. You roll dice, move on a board, purchase properties and make bets to collect the most Zenny. While [...]

Many years after it has become a treasured memory people are still developing games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Occasionally, homebrew games come out in gray cartridge shells, but Sudoku for the NES also has a rare gold cartridge edition. Only five of these were made and one of them will be auctioned off at [...]

The title alone makes this rom hack worth mentioning, but there is more to Mr. Pac-Man besides a clever name. The repurposed release of Mrs. Pac-Man has new maps to check out and a new ghost. Granted it’s not nearly as lavish as Pac-Man: Championship Edition, but the NES never had widescreen support or HD [...]

After a successful run of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, DiC dropped the live action segments for the Adventures of Super Mario Brothers. The cartoon only series is set in the Super Mario Brothers 3 timeline (complete with raccoon tail power-ups!), but there are some differences. The most notable change is the names of [...]

Hands down this is the most impressive tool assisted speed run I have ever seen. Four NES Mega Man games completed at nearly the same time with a single joystick in under forty minutes. The challenge is long to watch, but it wasn’t to show off the skill needed to complete all four games in [...]

Nintendo is about to make another milestone when they release Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on June 4th, 100 classic games titles on the virtual console store. The amount of virtual console games vary greatly by region, Japan is already up to 130+ and some of those games we will probably never see localized [...]

  Ahh… Lode Runner we meet again and you’ve come a long way from being a stick figure. When Hudson picked up the rights to make a Famicom game they replaced the enemies with robots that look like Bomberman and a hero who bears a resemblance to Mario.   Maybe that was the inspiration for [...]

About a month ago I wrote a little story up about some site selling Tetris shaped shelves for an asinine amount (Like $600 a piece asinine). We all had a good laugh but I personally wish I had to a way to acquire said shelves. Well with a little elbow grease and an adventurous D.I.Y. [...]

I’ve never been what one would consider a good cook. I’ve tried, and what I make is certainly edible… but that’s about it. Luckily for the human race I’ve never tried to bake anything, as it seems daunting enough to me that I just may tear apart the space-time continum just by trying to make [...]

Overtime Comedy who released the set of Mario in MySpace videos has a new Nintendub out that uses footage from the 1994 Mega Man cartoon. In the clip Mega Man is trying to convince Protoman to watch Six Feet Under with him. Can Mega Man succeed and find a friend other than Veronica Mars? [youtube]COvUGvx1a3I[/youtube]  [...]

Dan found an excellent machinima video earlier today where orcs from World of Warcraft sing “A Pirate I was meant to be” from The Curse of Monkey Island. I’m not sure this is going to beat his find, but this retro machinima clip has 8-bit Megaman and the robot masters do Para Para to Harehare [...]

Now right up front I’ll confess I’m not entirely sure that headline is accurate, but it’s a damn good guess. Now where was I? This here is yet another reminder of how badly I suck at arts and crafts. I can’t even fathom having the ability to make something like this. If I were ever [...]

Many of the Super Mario Brothers hacks on the market are designed to test how well you can exploit bugs in the game. This hack discovered by the Lost Levels is different, it’s designed to test your patience. Level 1-1 starts with Mario falling on a question mark block and a huge gaping pit to [...]
