Nintendo already put out Super Mario Maker on the Wii U and 3DS, but that set of tools only let you create and share levels for some of the two dimensional perspective Super Mario games. However, if you’ve been craving for the third dimension, you’ll have to download a rom hack that allows you to create your own Super Mario 64 levels.
The description in the video gives all the details you need to get started!
Nintendo recently flared the microconsole craze with NES Classic Edition. This spurred nostalgia amongst gamers of the 8-bit era and with that, Nintendo has another console coming preloaded with more games this September. But, they aren’t the only game in town, there’s another preloaded console on the way from AtGames, the Sega Genesis Flashback.
However, early reviews haven’t exactly been kind to the console, coming preloaded with 85 games. With the name “Sega Genesis Flashback,” you’d think that the system would come preloaded with 85 Genesis games. But, that is a misnomer, the console itself comes with a mixture of Master System, Game Gear, Genesis and 28 unrelated Sega games akin to shovelware.
While many like myself wouldn’t mind the non-Genesis content, the extra 28 games just add a the “ugh” factor already surrounding the poor reviews coming several outlets. Many reviewers haven’t been kind to machine, saying that it’s interface is clunky and disjointed. Even worse: that the emulation (which the system uses to play cartridge games) of Genesis games is poor. AtGames claims that most of these issues are do to review units containing outdated system software, but are working to resend newer units with an updated version.
Kotaku writes:
“A batch of our review units were accidentally shipped out with early software builds that do not represent the final version,” AtGames said. “We are working to get updated and correct final products in the hands of reviewers in the coming weeks.”
Systems like these get gamers who grew up in the 1990s a sense of remembrance and a reason to revisit those consoles and games with ease. Many might not care for minor bugs or glitches, but enthusiasts will certainly avoid it if they can’t play it the way they remember it.
AtGames is no stranger to producing Sega Hardware, they’ve been doing it for a long time now, producing a considerable number of Sega and Atari microconsoles. So, it’s a surprise to see something like this happen just before its release in late September.
It’s a small little device that is capable of playing 30 classic Nintendo games. It will hook up to HDMI displays and use the NES style controllers. However, your old NES controllers will not work on it because the inputs are not the same. Here are the list of games that will come with it:
Sadly,no other games will be added. The system itself will be available this year on November 11 for $59.99.
Nintendo’s third console has made it to the 20 year mark! On this day some decades ago, the mighty 64-bit system was released in Japan.
The Nintendo 64 was most famous for helping usher in fully 3D environments to game consoles and had many timeless classics like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
A new homebrew game was released out into the wild not too long ago… It’s programmed for the NES and is available for download as a rom. The basic premise:
Ralph 4 is a NES game by pubby, with music by MovieMovies1. The game is explained rather easy. Collect diamonds and avoid the fluffy cute bears. Few bears wont move at all, others do.
It’s fun so far, definitely has its difficult segments not even ten minutes in! As you can tell, I had some difficulty with it, but I hope to get past the level I left off of soon.
In the meant time, enjoy!
