Contra Remade in LittleBigPlanet
I’ve seen some amazing things done in the gaming community but this takes the cake, hands down. The amount of time that must have gone into this is more than I want to think about.
Nintendo NES to DS Mod
I think this is the first great handheld mod of 2009. As you’ll see after the jump (or in the video below), it’s an NES controller modded to work with a Nintendo DS as a full emulator controller. Pretty rad, if you ask me. I haven’t touched my DS in months due to a general lack of time and/or new games to play. This, however, just might get me back into the habit.
WiiGator GameCube Backup Launcher
There’s a video floating around right now of the WiiGator Gamecube Backup Launcher. The developers claim that you can use this thing to play GameCube backups on your Nintendo Wii without the need for a mod chip of any kind.
If this is true, I’m all over it when it comes out. Here’s a video of the “proof”. You be the judge. It looks legitimate to me, though.
TechRadar: Nintendo DSi Confirmed for Spring
TechRadar is claiming that a Nintendo rep confirmed a spring release date for Nintendo’s third iteration of the DS, the DSi. They’re also saying that GTA: Chinatown Wars is due out around the same time as well as several other promising new DS and Wii titles.
Exciting times for Nintendo fans!
Boom Blox Sequel Coming Soon!
1up and several other media outlets are reporting that Steven Spielberg and EA are back in the studio working on a follow-up to the awesome Nintendo Wii game Boom Blox. It’s set for release this spring! I got the first one this past summer and we played the hell out of it. It’s a great family or group game. I’m really looking forward to a sequel.
The Legend of Princess
Check out this gameplay video taken from independent game developer Joakim Sandberg’s amazing new side scroller, Legend of Princess.
Does it look like a 16 bit version of one of Nintendo’s most famous titles? It should because that’s exactly what it is!
You can download the 10MB build of the first level here.
Entire Super Mario Land Level Map on an EeePC
Some guy on Flickr decided to have the entire level map from the Gameboy version of Super Mario Land etched onto the lid of his Asus EeePC. You can see it here. You can even get your own copy of the layout that he used here.
Damn impressive work, if you ask me.
YouTube Launches TV-Friendly Version
Google has just announced that they’re launching a TV-friendly version of YouTube to work better with the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 web browsers. I haven’t had a chance to test it out on my Wii, yet, but I’m told by a couple of friends that it works great. You can visit the new optimized version of the site at http://www.youtube.com/tv on your console’s browser.
