Nintendo have held a significant press event ahead of E3. In it the company put the spotlight on the Wii U’s control pad. The control pad is a screen and a console in itself. Now it has a name; GamePad. The device has a gyroscope/accelerometer, a NFC reader/writer as well as a pressure-sensitive touchscreen, d-pad […]
Occupy Mushroom Kingdom: The Best We Can Be – A Princess Peach musical
I can’t deny it. This is a weird video. A Princess Peach musical is odd enough but this one projects warped humour, has an interesting voice of sound and an interesting choice of Princess. That said; it certainly commands your attention. The best part? Occupy the Mushroom Kingdom. The second best part? Watch to the […]
What if… Doctor Who was an 8-bit RPG
A quesiton we’ve all wrestled with is this: what if Doctor Who was actually an 8-bit RPG. Imagine the classic JRPG of the Nintendo era. Imagine the Eleventh Doctor’s plot. Or if all that imagination is a bit too hard work – just watch the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJMVxZ8pGzA
Monster hunting on Google’s 8-bit maps
As an early April Fool’s Google has released a version of Google Maps that is straight out of an 8-bit RPG adventure on the Nintendo. Just hit the quest button in the top right to access the adventure. As experienced 8-bit RPGers know it’s not always safe exploring the map. You may encounter monsters. Try […]
Shaun the Sheep 3D coming to the Nintendo 3DS
Don’t mock. I actually think this is a good idea. It’s a good way for the 3DS to showcase its 3D capabilities and its a good way to get some cash from the franchise for Aardman. I actually think the Vita has the most to benefit from with this sort of distrubution deal (sans 3D, […]
Orchestra recording The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary special
I think there’s quite a lot of gaming music that reached iconic status. Many people recognise – even if they can’t name the come – Mario’s soundtrack, Sonic, Final Fantasy, dozens of 8-bit wonders as well as some of the new generation. BioShock, for example, is a game synonymus with its musical choices. Zelda’s such […]
Tasty looking, awesome, NES Cake
Debbie Goard is clearly, without question, a talented… gosh, what? She’s a talented artist? Designer? Baker? She sent this example (the cake or a picture, not sure!) to Geeks Are Sexy. Not only does this look good enough to eat – it looks good enough not to eat! At least it’s safe to share. Via […]
What you need to know: “Let’s talk iPhone”
Today, Apple hosted an event called “Let’s talk iPhone”. OMG! The iPhone 5 is coming! Wait, wait… I’m sure the iPhone 5 is coming but today’s announcement was about the iPhone 4S. Actually, today’s announcement was an easy introduction to Tim Cook – the new Apple CEO. He didn’t even get to introduce the iPhone […]
Game Boy swimsuit
This post had to happen. In one corner we have the Game Boy collection with the Gameboy dresses and the Nintendo bra. In the other corner we have the Black Milk collection of swimsuits that feature Pac-man, C3PO, R2-D2 and Vadar. The result? The Game Boy swimsuit. Okay; it’s just a prototype… I wonder if […]
