The Guilty Gear series has made great strides over the last few years to compete against the best from Capcom and SNK’s 2D fighter offerings. I was fairly excited when portable versions of Guilty Gear were announced for both the PSP and Nintendo DS. However, I had a dirty feeling that both versions would be […]
I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my posts from a year ago to dig up some old thoughts and follow up on old news. Here are a handful of posts from June 2005… Living Room Arcade This was an interesting find. I link to a site that creatively compresses […]
Just recently on the forums, an interesting but common question was brought up… “If the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM format is about twice the size of a CD-ROM, how is it possible to play all these games using CD-R backups? Do most DC games not use the majority of the disc space? This has never made sense […]
I have to admit, there are a few things about the XBox 360 that really interested me (mainly the controllers, interface, and XBLA), but Microsoft just blew it in my mind. In a recent interview, Microsoft’s VP of Gaming, Peter Moore (also former Sega exec) said, “Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under […]
Developed by fan-favorite, Treasure, Guardian Heroes is another late-blooming Saturn title that many people still haven’t discovered. Guardian Heroes is a beatemup with strong RPG elements. In this masterpiece, Treasure combined great 2D animation, a unique control scheme, and killer gameplay with the ability to level up and focus the skills that you choose. Graphics/Presentation: […]
There have been a nice handful of post-ES announcements concerning some classic gamings coming to modern consoles and handhelds. Capcom Multipack for the GBA The NES versions of Bionic Commando, Strider and Mighty Final Fight will be released as a 3-in-1 Gameboy Advance pack. Spectral vs. Generations for PSP This 2D fighter hasn’t really made […]
Even though there are many classic NES games that bring back fond memories, there actually aren’t a whole lot of NES titles that still hold up to decades of gaming innovations. Sunsoft’s Blaster Master, however, has enough innovation on its own that has not been sufficiently duplicated since, resulting in a unique NES game that […]
The buzz around the New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS has been strong for quite some time, and according to apparent information from Japanese retailers, filtered by Game-Science, Nintendo’s DS title New Super Mario Bros, which debuted on May 25th in Japan, sold a over 480,000 copies on its very first day at […]
As one of the best games that defined the Dreamcast, Samba De Amigo is one of the premier rhythm games of all time. Unfortunately not that many people have actually played it. While I have greatly enjoyed this unique game, I have not been privileged enough to possess the full Samba De Amigo box set […]
As many of the Forum members are aware of, I have been selling Dreamcast VGA video cables (similar to a VGA Box). These cables take the place of a standard video cable like and Composite or S-Video cable and instead let you connect your Dreamcast to any VGA monitor or VGA-compatible video display/HDTV. With a […]
Some may call it one of the worst movies ever to be released on the big screen, but I actually didn’t mind this Nintendo-fanboy-flick when I was a kid. For those of you that aren’t familiar with it, The Wizard is a 1989 movie staring Fred Savage that as IMDB.com puts it, is about “a […]
Kevin from UUDDLRLRBAStart has been generous enough to share a technique that owners of a classic Nintendo Entertainment System may find handy in order to keep their aging console running in peak condition. Kevin writes, “Any old school NES players will tell you they remember having to sometimes blow in the end of their NES […]
If you recently bought a used Sega Saturn, chances are that when you boot the machine up, you will be asked to set the time and date. You probably don’t think much of it the first time, but you will probably become frustrated when you have to reset the date and time EVERY time you […]
I haven’t found many reasons to even consider a PS3 anytime soon. Up until now, Virtua Fighter 5 is basically the only thing that caught my attention. However, Sony recently announced that every PS3 will come with a Linux-based homebrew kit. MattG at PressTheButtons pointed out that this may confuse a number of potential PS3 […]
While it wasn’t really discussed in Nintendo’s E3 Conference, photos of an optional classic style controller for the Wii (Revolution) were found on Nintendo’s Japanese website. The controller (see larger picture) seems to be a combination of the SNES controller and Sony’s Dual Shock controller. It also seems to have a form factor similar to […]
