- Unsurprisingly, Gandhi remains an asshole in Civilization 6, per
Kotaku. Check out our show on the original Civilization here!
- On Kill Screen, Emma Kidwell has a
nice essay about how video games helped with language when she spent her
summers in Japan.
- The NES Classic Edition comes out Friday in the U.S., and
some reviews are coming in for it. Kotaku also notes that the old
Nintendo call-in lines will be active, too.
- Also, as you may have heard, new Genesis consoles are
being made… in Brazil. Polygon’s Charlie Hall notes
that the system won’t have HDMI support or ship internationally, but it does
come with 20+ games preloaded. Sega in Brazil is like Spinal Tap in Japan, or David
Hasselhoff in Germany.
- Kyle Orland of Ars Technica writes about four “found” Kirby games for the SNES, and the difficulty
of preserving old digital games, here.
You can find our Kirby show here.
- From Matthew Figueira and other sites, Blizzard won’t
be doing remakes of Warcraft 1 or
Warcraft 2 anytime soon. Also, no
news on a potential Warcraft 4 either.
But hey, listen
to our show on the old series!
- Obduction, the
new game from Myst creator Rand
Miller, will be released for the PS4 and VR in 2017. Read about that and more
in Miller’s interview
with Dean Takahashi of Venture Beat. And listen to our Myst show here!
- From Kotaku:
What should you feed your pregnant characters in The Sims?
ON THIS DAY (OR CLOSE
TO IT!) IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY…
- Golden Sun, a popular RPG series by Camelot and Nintendo, first hit U.S.
shores on Nov. 11, 2001. It’s 15 now! Almost old enough to drive.
- It was only a year ago, but the sweet baby boys can
scarcely remember what our lives were like before the release of Fallout 4 on this day in 2015. We have a lot more time… Stupid,
pointless time without Fallout 4. Bethesda’s
masterpiece has had several DLC expansions and mod support added, and people
are already clamoring for the fifth installment, or a side game, or anything
else because Fallout is LIFE.
- Also, Skyrim came out on Nov. 11, 2011. It’s now five years old! A regular
sweet kindergarten baby boy. Bethesda sure loves to spoil us in November.
