Even if you didn't like the similar adventure in Zelda 2, you may still like this game.
One question frequently asked about the Monster World games is “Did Zelda influence the Wonder Boy franchise?” While there’s a well-documented commonality between these games and Nintendo’s Zelda franchise—particularly Link’s second NES adventure— there’s enough done here to make it feel unique from its rumored 8 bit Hyrulian influences. It is safe to say however, that if you enjoyed even the concept of Zelda 2, you can stop reading now and hit the marketplace to pick this up. If the mere mention of The Adventure of Link brings fear or loathing to your soul, read on, as the game may still be right for you.
Karts and levels just part of the creative karting experience.
Back in February Sony Computer Entertainment of America admitted that there was a LittleBigPlanet kart racing game in the works and that they would reveal further details down the line. It seems that “down the line” has come as Sony has unleashed the below announcement trailer as well as some other morsels.
The "Boys of Silence" is the newest revealed enemy by the creators of Bioshock Infinite.
Its controversial content is to blame.
Edmund McMillen tweeted last night that his title, The Binding of Isaac, won't be published on the 3DS.
The finale of the NES trilogy is truly a classic to behold.
The year was 1990. It is about a year before the Super Nintendo makes its debut, but the NES is enjoying brisk sales of both hardware and games. The previous year Nintendo released its first handheld system, the Game Boy, and unleashed the addiction known as Tetris. This was, however, in North America. As I eluded to in Mario Mania #2, a Famicom player often had a different, exclusive set of hardware to play with than his counterpart in North America. The Japan-only accessory, the Famicom Disk System, was one of them.
A prototype cartridge of this unreleased port has become available. Below you'll find nearly 20 minutes of unreleased in-game footage.
I think the 12-bit generation must've been one of the best.
Faux retro games are all the rage these days. Capturing the look, sounds, and feeling of the gaming days of yore has proved to be a successful formula for most of the companies that have tried it. Renegade Kid has given the subgenre a shot with their latest title, Mutant Mudds, to great success. Instead of modeling itself after the most popular NES games, it creates its own identity that merges ideas from all past generations and systems – even the Virtual Boy. This mash up of ideas comes together in a spectacular way, making it one of the best titles available today on the 3DS.
New “Retro Game Vault” section lists new PowerUp rewards for members.
Visitors to GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards website may have noticed a new section called the Retro Game Vault. It would appear GameStop is getting into the business of selling classic games for reward points for systems dating all the way back to the Atari 2600. There are even some accessories listed for future availability such as the Nintendo Power Pad and the infamous NES Power glove, which come with World Class Track Meet and Super Gloveball respectively.
Classic action-platforming with a 3D twist.
While not many have had the opportunity to play the Virtual Boy, Renegade Kid’s latest work is oddly reminiscent of Nintendo’s misfit system. Back when the Virtual Boy launched, it touted its special 3D capabilities; these boiled down to little more than multiple viewing planes, which gave the illusion of 3D. The most memorable games used these multiple planes to create deeper platforming experiences. Taking a cue from these experiences, Mutant Mudds allows players to jump between the current plane, background, and foreground.
