Posted on January 4, 2016 by Jason Nason

It was just over a year ago that I sat here reviewing the original The Legend of Dark Witch. I enjoyed that game and it got a pretty good review as a result. The game was simple, solid, and fun to play. You’ll find more of the same in the sequel here, with a ton more jam packed into the game. The Legend of Dark Witch 2: The Price of Desire takes place after the events of the first game. Syega is a miraculous stone that allows humans to use magic. Many research its powers and develop new uses. Magic

Nintendo 3DS Windows
Only one day after the new year we’re going to party like it’s… 1995? A clever hacker has gotten Microsoft’s two decade only operating system Windows 95 to run on Nintendo’s New 3DS according to a post on console modification forum GBATMP.  RetroRampage37 released a rough build of the Windows 95 hack and certainly it fill our minds with the idea of playing older DOS games on Nintendo’s handheld.
