I had an Atari when I was a kid, but I didn’t really become a gamer until I got an NES.  I played a ton of games on there, and thanks to Virtual Console I can be easily reminded how hard some of those games were.  Sivak Games is bringing back that feeling of anger and self hate with Battle Kid.

It’s basically Mega Man, with a spatter of Metroid looking monsters to me. I don’t have a demo of the ..read the full article

The speculation as to whether the late Michael Jackson worked on the soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 can finally be put to rest. A recently translated interview which appeared in “Black & White“, a French magazine about Michael Jackson, features the artist’s composer, Brad Buxer, talking about his work with M.J on the 1994 Sega title.

My tendency to go with overly descriptive and often lengthy headlines sort of leaves me grasping for additional things to say in the body copy at times. This isn’t one of them.

The video below showcases an NES remake of Left 4 Dead, complete with instantaneous vanishing bodies and bloodless kills. Remind of you of a more modern censored sequel of the same game? Hmm?

While the absence of persistent zombie corpses lying in puddles of their own blood does remind me ..read the full article

Nintendo Wii’s New Super Mario Bro.s Wii title has been on store shelves for less than two days now, and there are already a few level editors out there.

If you remember the 80s, there’s a good chance you spent some quality time with Konami’s Castlevania for the NES. You probably also had a cool Sony Walkman and ate lots of spooky Ghostbusters cereal while watching He-Man cartoons on the TV in your brightly colored Jams, but that’s not the point of this article.
