From left to right: Metroid — NES (1986) Metroid II is one I always forget about, have never played, and should probably pick up from the 3DS eShop. [r/gaming]Pauline Rescues Mario In Donkey Kong Role ReversalMarch 11th, 2013 by Mark A. BrooksSo the story behind this one is a cute one: Mike Mika and his 3-year old daughter often play video games together, and her favorite just happens to be Donkey Kong. After playing as Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. 2, she naturally assumed she could do the same thing in Donkey Kong, and was bummed out to learn you can’t. So, in an act of super daddery, Mike put in a long night and hacked the ROM, replacing Mario with Pauline as the hero. I think a good “Daaaaaaaaaaaaw” is in order. If you have the ROM and XDELTA, then you too can enjoy the fruit of Mike’s labor and download the Pauline patch here. The N64 Controller Of Your Glossy DreamsMarch 4th, 2013 by Mark A. Brooks
Normally, the word “beautiful” and the N64 controller have nothing to do with each other, but this ultra-lacquered piece of sexy plastic most certainly bucks the trend. God I just want to lick it. More custom controllers can be seen at the artist’s deviantART page, and they’re every bit as shiny.

Samus second job [r/gaming]Go Get F-Zero In The Wii U Virtual Console For 30 CentsFebruary 21st, 2013 by Mark A. Brooks
As part of Nintendo’s slow roll out of the Wii U Virtual Console, F-Zero is now available for download at the cost of a mere thirty cents. For the next month, and the next month only, you will be able to snag the SNES classic at this very special price; I already got mine, suckaz. Don’t miss out! Despite my preference for the Wii U Pro Controller, the game plays beautifully on the Wii U GamePad. F-Zero follows Balloon Fight as the most recent offering in Nintendo’s 30th Year Anniversary promotion. Also promised, but yet to come, are Punch Out, Kirby’s Adventure, and Super Metroid (!!), among others. They Said It Wasn’t Humanly Possible…January 30th, 2013 by Mark A. BrooksClearly, they were wrong. Thanks to the internet, we can freely reminisce about commercials gone by, such as the one above for the Nintendo Game Boy. This is some straight late-80s shit – awesomely kitschy by any measuring stick. My only regret is that I never had a chance to use the revolutionary video link and thusly blow my opponents away. |
