| Soon to be deleted from Steam! Kirby as Sonic! |
- Of all the things Sega could license… A movie adaption of Shinobi could be coming soon, per
Variety. It’s a solid game, but when it comes to story-based ninja games,
it’s no Ninja Gaiden.
- Also, Sega has allowed modding to its games on Steam. As you
can imagine, this has led to all sorts of fun, like Kirby starring in Sonic The Hedgehog and difficulty hacks
for Comix Zone. Zack Kotzer of
Motherboard has a
good summary article on some changes.
- From Carl Batchelor of Niche Gamer, NES dungeon crawl game
Shadow Brain has gotten
a translation patch.
- Ryan Shoptaw of Gaming Conviction says a prototype cart
for DuckTales 2 is now
for sale.
- Nolan Bushnell, the original vidya games guy for Atari, is
now working
on cell phone games.
- Over on Cinemassacre, Mike and Bootsy play
the NES hack Luigi’s Chronicles 2, an
ultra-tough remake of Super Mario Bros.
3.

GAME HISTORY…
- In 1992, Wolfenstein 3D was
released for the PC by id Software. You play as William “B.J.” Blazkowicz and
shoot down a ton of Nazis, and it was as awesome as it sounded at the time. It
was the FPS game that popularized the genre.
- On May 6, 2001, Mario Party 3 came
out for the N64. Yes, there were three Mario
Party games for the 64! It was also the last Mario game for the system.
- Konami released Castlevania:
Aria of Sorrow in 2003 for the Gameboy Advance. It is one of the
excellent Metroidvania
games in the series. (And hey, check out our episodes on Castlevania
and Super
Metroid!)
