I lent my GameBoy Micro (along with Super Mario Advance 4) to my girlfriend, and now she’s addicted to the game. Having played Super Mario Bros 3 as a kid, she’s probably better at playing that game compared to me. LOL. In other news, I want a PSP and the game shown in the trailer [...]

The best part about Super Mario Advance 4 for the GBA isn’t really the updated version of Super Mario Bros 3, but the original Mario Bros game that comes along with it! I actually played this for an hour on the GBM before I slept last night. There’s something addictive in these retro games. Subject [...]

I’ve got a problem with Success’ newest 2D fighting game for the Nintendo DS, Windy X Windam. Having the need to unlock additional characters means that I can’t use Izuna (of the Unemployed Ninja fame) from the get-go.

The last ROM Report was written like months ago, on how to run Sega MegaDrive games on the Nintendo DS. Pretty retro stuff huh. Well, in this edition of The ROM Report, we’ll take a look at something that I can relate better, running an all time favourite PC game of mine, Quake II on [...]

A little bit of background for the game. From my understanding (and a total lack of Japanese language mastery), you play as a rather pretty thief. [...]

I’m finally back! The weeks of sporadic blog updates are now over as after weeks of thumping on TMNET’s door asking “I can has phone linez and broadbands?”, the new home finally “has internets”! Internet availability coincides with the PC Fair and I went and bought several items today, namely a Belkin Wireless Router + [...]

I bought a total of 3 Nintendo DS games last month (July) and one of them included a Club Nintendo Limited Edition game. . Anyways, I’ll let the picture do the talking: From the top left (clock-wise), Hokuto no Ken: Hokuto Kami Denshoumono no Michi, Bleach: The Blade of Fate and Zekkyo Senshi Sakebrain [Club [...]

Thanks to the EZ 3-in-1 Expansion Pack running in my Nintendo DS’ Slot-2, I finally get the chance to play GBA games that are previously sold-out on Play-Asia. Running a game in NOR mode is like having the actual cartridge itself and I can pop the Expansion Pack into my Gameboy Micro and start playing. [...]

Some people might say the Playstation 3 looks like a sandwich maker or an expensive BBQ grill and I tend to agree with them. However, I do think that the PS3 does take after some retro consoles. Don’t believe me? Have a look at these sandwich maker-like video game consoles of yesteryear: The NEC PC-Engine [...]
