Plenty of NES clones have popped up with new functions like remote controllers as seen in the Generation NEX and Famicom compatibility. Now a new company is selling the Super Nintendo Model 3, a combination system with a slot for Nintendo and Super Nintendo games. The device costs $60, which isn’t exactly cheap but [...]

This is it. After retrieving my old VHS tape of GamePro TV episodes from cardboard box exile and uploading its encoded treasures to the Internet for the world to witness once again, the inevitable has occurred. The tape can fast-forward no further. There are no more episodes of GamePro TV to present.   All good [...]

Video games might be mainstream now, but back in the nineties Nintendo tried hard to change the image of gamers with “Play it Loud” commercials. Overtime Comedy dug up one of the seizure inducing ad spots that flashes colors, skaters, clips of Mega Man X and awkward quotes like “Fight Earwax.” Fight Earwax as a [...]

While not endorsed by Nintendo at all, the pirate copy of Super Mario World for the NES is strikingly similar to its source material. The graphics used re-colored Super Mario World sprites, which are quite impressive on the NES. In this video Mario climbs fences and battles Bowser in the clown face copter at the [...]

By continuing to read this article focusing on the most authentic, most historical of the big three console manufacturers left (said party henceforth referenced as “you-know-who”), you’re agreeing that, despite you-know-who’s rep for listening to their fans and putting out quality merch at an affordable price, not everything said about you-know-who is going to be [...]

Remember Mario Paint from the Super NES? In Japan Nintendo advertised their creative tool with a clay animated Mario flying around on a SNES mouse. Below is a second commercial with Yoshi flying around on a SNES mouse and conduct a musical piece with a Koopa, goomba, bob-omb and a mushroom. At the midpoint of [...]

Sure this looks like a regular exercise bike from the 90’s, but before Dance Dance Revolution this was one of the ways to get fit from playing video games. The Exertainment cycle was a product designed by Nintendo and Life Fitness. There are only two completed games and unsurprisingly both are biking games. Speed Racer [...]

  Mario has his image in many different games, including this retro puzzle game made by Hudson. Undake 30 Same Game is a puzzle game where you can clear matching shapes off a 16×24 grid. Instead of bricks, Undake 30 Same Game uses Mario’s face, Yoshi’s eggs, coins, fire flowers and mushrooms. The game was [...]

Plenty of retro gamers have fond memories of Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2), a three player action RPG developed by Squaresoft back in the Super NES days. One gamer took the classic tiny poster packaged with the SNES game and blew it up to make this mega poster.       Cool stuff huh? [...]

A 1,000 euros ($1271 in US dollars) is cold hard cash. You could presumably buy a Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii plus a couple of games with that kind of dough. Or you can splurge on eBay for all kinds of gaming goods. In France on seller has prototype carts of Romancing Saga 3 [...]

This might not protect you from moblins or reflect magic, but this Legend of Zelda promo item is a rare find. The shield is actually a store display for the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Not the Game Boy Advance remake, but the original Super Nintendo game. That makes the cardboard shield [...]

While Chrono Trigger did get Chrono Cross, fans of the Super Nintendo original might have wondered what happened in 1000AD after Lavos. A group of fans from Kajar Laboratories created Crimson Echoes, a direct fan fiction sequel set two years after the events in Chrono Trigger. As Crono, players discover that Guardia Kingdom and the [...]
