Zelda Pacman: Two Great Games in One?
In our last post we showed you Super Mario Crossover 2.0 in which Link makes an appearance in a Mario game. Well now Link is at it again and has made his way into another classic game. Nothing gets much better than playing classic Nintendo games and two great ones combine here in a remake of Pacman with a Zelda Theme. Our friends over at Zelda Universe found this version of one of the most classi...
Super Mario Bros. Crossover 2.0 is here!
Super Mario Bros. is undoubtedly one of the most iconic games, well, ever. Without the Shigeru Miyamoto classic, gaming as we know it today would more likely than not be much different. There isn’t much you could do to make the game better, except include characters from other classic video games of course! That’s where Super Mario Bros. Crossover 2.0 comes in. The fan project that has...
Are you getting too old for long games?
Someone at 1UP is… What I know I would like to see is developers recognizing not everyone can play games for long stretches at a time and creating ways that make it easier to play in smaller bursts. Not enough games allow you to save your progress at any time, despite the fact that there are ways to do so without opening the door for exploits. Temporary saves that are deleted once they’...
Go vote for your favorite Xenoblade Chronicles boxart!
Planning on picking up Xenoblade Chronicles this April? I know a few people that are. Nintendo is planning on finally releasing the game, after saying the game wouldn’t hit North American shores, in a few months, and they are letting fans vote for their favorite box art images to be displayed when the game ships. By visiting Nintendo’s facebook page, you can vote for your favorite image that will ...
BurgerTime World Tour Coming To WiiWare
The classic platform puzzler game has its roots all the way back to the Atari and the more popular version of the NES is coming to WiiWare. Is this what Nintendo fans want? More retro games being rehashed? While BurgerTime was a great classic should it just be retired now? Here is an excerpt from the press release: MonkeyPaw Games Inc. today announced that BurgerTime World Tour will be avai...
Rayman Origins for 3DS looks to be another must have title for the system
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCli-TfN3Ng[/youtube]I have been pretty open about my love for Rayman Origins. Simply put, it was one of my favorite games of last year. This year the game is coming out again, this time for Nintendo’s little 3D machine that could. If you haven’t played the game yet (and chances are that you haven’t given the sales numbers of the game), you...
Nintendo will be attending this year’s GDC, but in a slightly smaller role
Typically, it’s not so much the news that comes out of the Game Developers Conference by the insight that is important. In years past, Nintendo has had the opportunity to hold the keynote address. Just last year Satoru Iwata revealed Super Mario 3D Land and Netflix for 3DS at one one such keynote. This year Nintendo will once again be making an appearance at the show, but will be holding two...
“The eShop Has Turned Things Around for Nintendo”
At least that’s what one developer told Destructoid this week: The eShop, I feel, has really turned things around for Nintendo on the digital side because the storefront is heavily feature-driven. Any publisher can still produce whatever it wants, similar to iOS in both regards. However, given the feature-oriented nature, the eShop is quasi-curated without being some lame PR line… What...
Where have all the middle games gone?
Ryan Winterhalter wrote a great piece last week about the decline of middle-class games. “It seems that players are spending more time playing games, but paradoxically spending that extra time with fewer titles,” he says. “Game makers have never in the forty-year history of the medium had such a massive consumer base to sell to, but players have never been so unwilling to try ...
Mario Kart 7 Community News: February Edition
I’m afraid I haven’t been able to join the community nights of the past two weeks, and I probably won’t make it tonight, either. But I picked up on plenty of news before that, so that’s what I’m going off of right now. First off, I must apologize to Chris of Texas for tanooki tailing you right at the end of Wii Koopa Kape for the closest win I have ever witnessed. Ser...
Sakura Samurai review: All the fun of a great action RPG without any of the dawdling around
Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is a brilliant game. In this polished and challenging adventure, there is not one bit of wasted space or a moment of B.S. time-killing. Every encounter, decision and action serves the central swordfighting gameplay–and that’s a very good thing, because the fighting system is fun beyond belief. Easy to learn, tricky to master and full of fast, on-the-fly...
Why I pre-ordered Kid Icarus: Uprising
Because it’s a Nintendo 1st-party title; I played a demo at PAX East last year; it was created by the guy who did Smash Bros.; more AR cards.
