Forget Mario and Sonic and all those other prominent mascots out there. They're far too consistent to wow me with their presence anymore, however fun their games may be. (In all seriousness, I'm dying to play Mario Galaxy 2 .) No, I've been spending countless …Read more »
The prime offering from this week's set of Nintendo downloads actually isn't a throwback classic for once, it's Mighty Switch Force! Run-and-gun action meets brain-bending puzzles in this game from developer WayForward ( Contra 4, A Boy and His Blob ), which also means more …Read more »
Nintendo's weekly downloads have once again been pretty sparse of late as far as interesting titles go, but they're jumping back into the spotlight this week with another very special "3D Classics" release of a beloved Nintendo game. This time it's Kirby's Adventure , originally …Read more »
It's Thursday, and you know what that (usually) means! It's time for another edition of Virtual Boy, which catalogs the highlights of Nintendo's weekly downloadable titles. The fact that this article is even appearing MUST be a sign of something noteworthy, and that is indeed …Read more »
Nintendo might be the master of mixing excitement with pure, uncut disinterest, and even a dash of "really?" Take this week's downloads, for instance, if you want to see where I'm going with this. On one hand we have Capcom's Game Boy title Gargoyle's Quest …Read more »
Nintendo's downloadable 3D Classics for 3DS take original Nintendo games and pop them out into 3D like a sprite-loaded diorama. Sounds great, right? It could be, unless the game in question happens to be a "classic" no one in their right mind would ask for …Read more »
It's been a little while since Nintendo had much worth tooting about, mostly thanks to a lack of notable Virtual Console releases. That's changing somewhat this week despite it being an otherwise busy one for the Big N. The two primary featured titles are Go! …Read more »
Why yes, that is Final Fantasy III on Nintendo's Virtual Console today. No, not that FFIII , the other one. You know, back before everyone in North America knew it by its original name, Final Fantasy VI ? Playing the numbers game with the Final …Read more »
The Indie section of the Xbox Live games marketplace can be a confusing beast, like a hydra with sub-bargain-bin TV games in place of its hulking heads. For the most part it's a complete crapshoot of mediocre to unplayable… things... that aren't even worth wasting …Read more »
In immediate retrospect that headline makes almost no sense, and yet it remains. Such is the curse of being so easily entertained, and hey, speaking of being entertained, let's see what Nintendo has in store for us this week. Since the headline spoiled it already, …Read more »
If anyone reading this has managed to make it this far without experiencing Cave Story —a beauty of an indie platformer originally crafted in 2004 by a single man, Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya—a fresh, three-dimensional opportunity waits on the horizon. It was just last year that …Read more »
Anyone who has yet to play Cave Story in any form is definitely missing out. I missed out myself on the original PC version of Daisuke Amaya's one-man-made game—which was originally released online in 2004 as Dokutsu Monogatari —but the enhanced WiiWare port more than …Read more »
Oh, weekly update of all things having to do with Nintendo's Virtual Console releases, how I've missed you. I'd love for this little feature to be more regular, but frankly there's just not as much to report on as there used to be. Nintendo has …Read more »
If you've never heard of Cave Story , don't feel too bad. While the 2004 game may be one of the least obscure titles as far as PC-developed indie games go, it still remains under the radar of most. Let that no longer be the …Read more »
I, like quite a few unfortunate souls, never got to play the original Cave Story when it debuted as a downloadable title on PC in 2004. Today, after a lengthy wait, Daisuke Amaya's much loved indie game makes its console debut via WiiWare with enhancements …Read more »
