First Mega Man 9 Video Footage!
Last week, we celebrated one of the most exciting announcements in the minds of every old-school gamer living today. Today, we bring you the very first video footage of the title (click me! – thanks GoNintendo). Note in particular the kick-ass 8-bit music, which has implications that, perhaps more than anything, finally validate the existence of a deity. And to think, all thanks to Mega Ma...[Read More]

Talk about a week filled with amazing announcements. First we got Mega Man 9, then it was Diablo III, and now here comes yet another blockbuster on the way: Chrono Trigger Revived for Nintendo DS. Sure, it’s just a remake of the original with some added content, but have you any idea how giddy this makes us old-school Squaresoft fans? For many, Chrono Trigger was the epitome of creativity ...[Read More]

Mega Man 9 Announced!
Pinch yourself. Okay, now you’re ready. Earlier today, word hit the street (courtesy of Nintendo Power) that a new Mega Man title is in the works. But it’s not just any Mega Man title–it’s Mega Man 9, the first installment in the original classic series since 1996’s Mega Man 8 for the Playstation.

Love to ski? Hate to ski? Why not take a visit to the Happy Ski Resort, the Namco Bandai-built digital skiing destination for Miis everywhere?
Wii Fit
All right, tubby. If you want to get in shape, you’ve got some work to do. You know you’re sick of that ballooning belly of yours. And you! Yeah, you—the toothpick. Don’t think I’m letting you off the hook, either. Everyone needs a good exercise regimen; it’s scientifically proven to help you live a considerably longer, happier, less stressful, and more competent life. But how many of us really st...[Read More]
Dr. Mario Online Rx
When you’ve found a game design that works, sometimes it’s better to simply build on that design rather than constantly reinvent it. Such a conservative approach is especially true for puzzle games, as they’re typically infectious enough as is, and they are extremely resistant to staling. Nintendo’s Dr. Mario Online Rx adopts this approach, with essentially the core of Dr. Mario 64—from the variou...[Read More]
Star Soldier R
You may recall the original Super Star Soldier—you know, that top-down ship shooter game that had you curled up and crying in the corner for days thanks to its asinine level of difficulty? Well, the original has been available as a Virtual Console download for some time now, and even though 97% of the world has not completed the game in spite of its relative age, developer Hudson Soft has seen fit...[Read More]
Target: Terror! (RETRO)
Who doesn’t hate terrorism? In a play to the American masses, Konami takes us on a journey back to the days of Area 51 and Lethal Enforcers with its release of Target: Terror! for the Nintendo Wii. Through the use of the Wii-mote’s pointer technology, the game attempts to recreate the experience of the arcade. There’s just one problem: the game itself is almost as scary as the terrorists in it.
A Passage to India
From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, we are brought a classic from 1984, set in the 1920s in the British Raj during the occupation of India by British troops. A Passage to India is based on the all-time classic book by E.M. Forster, a tale of an initially intriguing but ultimately troubled visit to the region by two English women. More than that, however, it is a narrative depicting the tension...[Read More]
Furu Furu Park
How about this: we pack a bunch of mini-games that take advantage of the Wii motion controls onto an optical disc and sell it! Ever heard of that one before?
