Yep, you mentioned your network of sites as we were heading back from lunch yesterday so I figured I'd check them out. Cool stuff you have here!

I remember calling Sega's tipline to ask about an unused song in the sound test in Sonic 2. The representative explained to me that the song was from a level that didn't make it into the final game -- it was in fact the Hidden Palace Zone mentioned in the article. It was very interesting at that time to read previews in magazines and then a few months later see how a preview compared to the final release. In the case of Sonic 2 the game changed a little bit, but with games like Resident Evil 2 it became another game entirely.

There's a great feature about Singleton in the latest issue of Retro Gamer.

Looks like their sale ended prematurely

Weird! My guess is that it's simply a copy of the left d-pad placed in a position that makes it easier for right thumbs to touch.

The controller ports are where the laser cannons used to be.

Man, that's sweet, it looks like you could open up the top of the TIE Fighter cockpit to plug in the expansion pack.

Probably. There's the argument that the 3DS needs better games, then when a promising game is announced the same people complain that it shouldn't be on the 3DS because "no one cares about it"... WHICH IS IT? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.

There was a similar problem with some of Apple's old MacBook and Powerbook laptops. I remember seeing keyboard-shaped marks all over the screens in coffee shops and computer labs when I was in college. I'm not sure if these were just smudges or if they eventually became scratched, but the solution was the same -- large microfiber cloths that were placed between the keyboard and display when the computer was closed.

Man I keep hearing everybody whine about how horrible the launch games are for the 3DS. How quickly we forgot about the first year of the original DS.

Yeah, the Super 8 is chip-based. It's basically an NES/Famicom clone with a pass-through port for SNES games.

I used to have a Super 8 and a GB Booster. The one pictured above is the N64 version, which would only display games in four colors even if they were GBC-only titles. It also wouldn't allow you to save games so it was kinda crappy. The Super 8 is awesome. I have a review and some photos of it posted here: http://www.valugamer.com/20...

There are tiny wheels underneath the cabinet that are powered by a combustion engine. There's also an alternator that powers the game so you can move and play simultaneously!

I like the art on both versions but the blue-ness of the US version makes it look like it's been sitting in the sun.

These books are great. The first one, which was a retrospective for Game Boy's 20th anniversary, has been my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to reading the latest issue!

I think I'll have to finish up the lastest DS Castlevania to tide me over until this new one comes out. Looks great!

Even if you toss the game away (hopefully not) the $5 price is easily worth paying to get the CD.

Certainly an odd choice for a remake but one that won't have people saying "but the original was soooo great, why are they remaking it?!"

On second thought, yes, they should forget about a story. I'm still going to pretend that they were all robots though.

I think the best games the iPhone has to offer are ones that do not attempt to recreate a console or handheld game with touch-'n-tilt controls. Virtual buttons and joysticks have never worked well for me.
