- Gizmodo has an awesome write-up of the find of a Seattle
man: The
incredibly rare Nintendo 64 disk drive.
- Of all places, Playboy
has a long read on how the really good 2009 Ghostbusters
game came together. You can read it here,
although your work’s spam filter might block. And hey, listen to our show on
the NES Ghostbusters here!
- Engadget has a
good summary article of Ben Heck ripping into the “newly” discovered
Nintendo-Sony CD unit.
- There is now a Kickstarter for the old NES Wisdom Tree
games, which were pretty horrible games based on Bible stories. But still, if
you want to support it, go here.
- Now in Japan! Kirby
restaurants. (And check out our
Kirby show.)
- From The Daily Mail,
games like Mario Kart might
make you a better driver, according to a study. (Check out our episode here!)
- Gizmodo’s Adam Clark Estes has
a review of the Analogue NT, a souped-up clone of the NES. It’s basically

it costs $500.
- From Mashable and Reddit, Matt Damon might
be interested in doing some video game stuff.

- Looking to move out of your parents basement? Booooo! But
if you are, then don’t

GAME HISTORY…
- A pair of classic Genesis games, Shinobi
III and Road Rash 2, came out
in 1993.
- On July 22, 2008, a remake of Final
Fantasy IV came out for the DS. It was… really bizarre. Developed by
Matrix Software, it was in 3D and had an augment system that allowed you to
power up characters after they left your party. The difficulty was also ramped
up, and some story segments were added back in.
