The State of Gaming: Nintendo
E3 went down a few weeks ago and while there were no real earth shattering announcements (thanks to the ever persistance subculture of everything getting leaked), all in all it was a pretty good show. The rest of the year is looking pretty good indeed, with some of the smaller titles like Child Of Eden
First up: Nintendo.
Top 5 Fan-Made Video Game Web Series
Video game movies suck. Video game television shows suck (except for that one Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon). Basically, if there's a script and acting and it's about video games, it's going to suck... unless the fans are making it. Video game fans have come up with some impressive web series based on their love for different franchises, ranging from anime mash-ups to parodies to epic, episodic dramas. Here are five of the best.
Top 15 games that still aren’t on the Virtual Console yet
When Nintendo first announced the Virtual Console, it seemed like a brilliant idea. The company would re-release the greatest games on its 8-, 16-, and 64-bit systems for download, letting us rebuild our childhood gaming libraries on a single memory card and play all of our favorite old-school games on the Wii. Every week would see a handful of classic games released on the Virtual Console, ready for download.
Four years later, the Virtual Console offers over 360 games (in North America) from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, Turbografix-16, Neo Geo, and even the Sega Master System and Commodore 64. It sounds like a lot, until you realize the NES and SNES had over 700 games each.
The Virtual Console still has a lot of big holes in its library, and it looks like Nintendo isn't trying very hard to fill them. These days we're lucky to see one game come out on the VC per week, and that game can range from the obscure and uninteresting (this week's Ufouria: THe Saga) to the vaguely fun but pales in comparison to other titles (Aero the Acrobat).
Here are the 15 most notable games missing from the Wii Virtual Console.
The 6 best video game comebacks
We take a lot of game series for granted today. It seems like Metroid and Metal Gear have been around for years, and have always been beloved by gamers. The gaming landscape is a lot different than it was years ago, though. Some of the most popular franchises in gaming have had massive gaps in their libraries, spending years between really big hits. Sometimes there aren't any new games in the series for some time, and sometimes the series has a string of duds. Of course, the longer a franchise goes without a big, popular release, the more impressive it is when it finally come back. Here are the 6 biggest comebacks in gaming.
