Today’s roundup is a day late because Steve has a case of
OLYMPIC FEVER. It’s unclear if he contracted it from the waters of Rio, or some
other way. Without further ado though, the links!
- Anddddd it’s gone. Nintendo
Power has been removed from the Internet Archive, per Polygon.
- Band of Savers has a very important article posted: “10
Things Duck Tales Taught Me About Money.” And, check out our old episode on the vidya
game!
- Nintendo Everything has a translation
of an interview a Nintendo official did about the NES Classic Edition.
Apparently, the save states are going to be more integrated and extensive than
originally thought, and there will be several new visual modes for the games.
- Fun times, as Entertainment.ie has a
screenshot quiz on SNES games.
- From Mike Diver at VICE, a
Top Ten list of Sonic games.
- The AV Club has an
insanely long roundtable on the camera in Super Mario 64.
- Unsurprisingly, a
fan remake of Metroid 2 was quickly
taken down, according to Twinfinite.
- Kotaku has a look inside Smash
Hell, the server where Nintendo banishes spammers and others.
- Shack’s
Arcade Corner on Amazon looks at Black
Tiger, a past YPB
game! [WARNING – The first is a video link!]

GAME HISTORY…
- Hint for next week’s show: August 13 marked the 25-year
anniversary for a slew of SNES launch games, namely, F-Zero, Pilotwings and Super
Mario World. And hey, the SNES itself came out! Good times, good times.
- System Shock 2, one
of the biggest cult classics ever on the PC, came out on August 11, 1999. It
was designed by Ken Levine, and developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass
Studios, but a sequel has been caught in rights snafus for years.
