Nintendo is adding the first game of one of its most beloved franchise to the Nintendo Switch next week. On Nov. 14, the original Metroid will be coming to the Nintendo Switch Online's NES app alongside two other cult favorites, Mighty Bomb Jack and Twin Bee. All three games will be free if you subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online for $19.99 a year. Metroid The first...
Nintendo this week announced many new details about games coming for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch. During the event it also took the opportunity to touch upon Nintendo Switch Online, revealing the names of the 20 NES games that will be available at launch. When the Nintendo Switch Online service was originally announced earlier this year, Nintendo revealed the first ten titles that...
There are the thing we do because we have to, and the things we do because we can. Climbing Mount Everest. Installing Doom on everything. Programmer Tom Murphy, who goes by Tom7, wants to see just what the original NES is capable of. Over the course of the below video, he gets it to do some amazing stuff, from running some very lo-fi full-motion video to running software it definitely...
If, like me, you just can’t seem to get your hands on an NES Classic this holiday season, fear not, there are other options. I love Do-it-yourself projects so, in this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to turn a $35 Raspberry Pi into a system that can do far more than just play 30 Nintendo games. You’ll need a Raspberry Pi to get started. You can buy a package with everything you...
You ever stumble across something during your internet travels that seems to blow your mind? That was me with the soundtrack behind, of all things, Pictionary for the original Nintendo. Originally released in 1990, Pictionary had a soundtrack that was so much better than it had any right to be. Seriously. I grabbed two tunes from the game and dropped them into this post. Hit play....

So Nintendo fans, you now have a choice! You can either upgrade to the New Nintendo 3DS whenever the company gets around to releasing it in the States, or you can stick with the old fashioned model now decked out with some snazzy new decals. Which is it going to be? I’m not usually one to make a fuss about what my consoles look like, unless it just looks plain silly like the...
Most will tell you that this "Teen's React" video will make you feel old, but I'd like to stop for a different angle and take a minute to appreciate these teen's reactions to the NES. The series has never left me with the most positive feelings for kids and teenagers who can't appreciate anything older than their generation, but all that comes to a crashing halt when they get a hold of...
Wow, here are two games I never thought we'd see on the Nintendo Virtual Console. Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight and Nobunaga's Ambition have both been confirmed by Nintendo of America for a release this September. Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight is often maligned for its devious marketing back in the day. Many now believe Capcom changed the American title to match the more...
