Three Street Fighters coming to [NEW] 3DS eShop only tomorrow

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Jason Nason

Because the old Nintendo 3DS can’t seem to handle SNES graphics, Nintendo will release three classic SNES Street Fighter games for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow, but only for NEW Nintendo 3DS units. The games will also be overpriced in Canada. While it still baffles me why Nintendo is making every Virtual Console title in recent memory not available to preexisting Nintendo 3DS units, the new games join the growing list of VC titles the majority of gamers won’t be able to play. The new games being added tomorrow include Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, Street Fighter

30 Minutes of Cancelled Goldeneye XBLA Footage Appears Online

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

It would appear that the almost impenetrable fortress of secrets that is Rare’s England based offices couldn’t keep James Bond’s cancelled XBLA mission a secret forever. A YouTuber by the name of ‘Rare Thief’ has uploaded 30 minutes of what appears to be direct-feed footage of the cancelled Xbox Live Arcade reimagining of the 1997 classic. Previous leaks surrounding the unannounced, incomplete and unreleased title amounted to a widely circulated magazine cover story from Xbox Magazine from a few years back and a 30 second video clip from the Silo level. Rare Thief’s leak is much more substantial – showing

What Is The Pokémon Anime Like In Japanese?

Posted on August 15, 2016 by Les Major

Pokemon Japanese Version Anime
Pointed out by Kotaku earlier today, the video below shows a stark contrast between the Japanese and dubbed versions of the Pokémon anime. The biggest difference is the intensity of the battle scene shown. The English dub seems to carry a sense of mystery and adventure throughout the battle while the Japanese original is a very hard core rock rendition. Honestly I don’t know which I prefer. I’m leaning more toward the Japanese version but I also grew up on anime like VS Knights: Lamune and 40 Fire. What do you think? Obviously both versions have a very different feel.

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens | Review

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Les Major

LEGO games have gone through many adventures. It’s a hit phenomenon that has even spun off a “toys to life” NFC game with LEGO Dimensions. The main franchise has kept a good track record of adding new content instead of just rehashing the tried and true gameplay. Sure, LEGO games feel familiar, but if you look back to the early days they really have come a long way. In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the franchise adds some new and interesting goodies to once again expand upon that experience. Obviously the main reason to pick up this latest release
