I was super late on my post about the NES Classic yesterday – I should have written it earlier in the week when I first got wind, but I got tied up in things. In any case, yes, the NES Classic Edition is back on store shelves, or at least, it is until the stores …

The Computer Chronicles – Video Game Consoles (1990)
Ah, the 90’s. 1990, in this case. The Nintendo Entertainment System was still the champ, but the Sega Genesis was nipping at its heels. These were the days I started my love of gaming in, and it’s fascinating to watch videos like this from that time period that show when these consoles were new and …

Baby Moses! – Chris Plays Bible Adventures on NES
Ah, what gaming YouTuber doesn’t eventually do a video on this game at some point in their career? In my case, that time is clearly now. Bible Adventures was Christian Bible themed game developed by Wisdom Tree for the NES. It’s idea is pretty straightforward – take some stories from the Bible and make a …

NES Classic Edition Review by Mike and Ryan of Cinemassacre
With the NES Classic Edition (or NES Mini as so many people want to call it) selling out everywhere, I though it might be worthwhile to share a review on the console from Mike and Ryan, of Cinemassacre. While I often think Mike, and to a lesser extent, Ryan, get confused on the specifics of …

It’s Hard To Find A NES Classic Edition – What Did You Expect?
So the NES Classic edition (or “NES Mini” as so many people want to stupidly call it) was released today, November 11th, and just as should have been expected, it’s incredibly hard to find one now. Really, what did you expect? In virtually every case where Nintendo releases something major, it’s snagged up instantly. The …

Backwards Compatibility And The Nintendo Switch
So, just as I expected, the Switch is not going to be able to play (at least physically) Wii, WiiU, or 3DS titles. This isn’t surprising, since the console uses a physical cartridge port, rather than an optical drive, for games. What I’m surprised at, although I still expected it, is how upset people are …

Game Player’s Gametape Vol. 1 No. 9: Power Glove
Remember a few days ago when I shared the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on the Power Glove? Well, it was sort of a preview for this video: A full on, sponsored by Mattel, 40 minute video on the Power Glove! Oh man, this thing is a mess. While the video does show proper usage …

Nintendo Repair and Maintenance (NES Repair VHS Tape)
I had seen this video online ages ago, but only just tonight found it again: An old VHS tape, made by an electronics repair company, discussing how to clean and repair NES consoles. This tape, which looks like it dates back to around 1990, goes into quite the good detail on common problems and fixes …

Introducing the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition
So, Nintendo rolled out the first promotional video for the NES Classic Edition, and it’s a nice little throw back to the good old days, even including the “Now you’re playing with power” slogan from the late 80’s and early 90’s that worked so well for them. I’m still optimistic about the plug-and-play system, as …

NES Classic Edition – Well, it’s something….
As is obvious to anyone who knows me, I enjoy classic gaming. While not an obsessive Nintendo fan like many people my generation, I do enjoy the good old Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) quite a bit; I was just playing Mario 3 a few days ago, and I always enjoy popping a cart in and …

Captain Skyhawk – NES Game Review
Captain Skyhawk is one of those odd games that many people seemed to have, but I can’t quite figure out why. It has nothing special about it at first glance, It looks like a flight simulator – shooter style game much like anything from the 80’s, but with a somewhat unique viewpoint, especially for a …

Super Mario Bros. – NES Game Review
There is quite a bit that can be said about Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System. For many gamers my age, Super Mario Bros. is one of their first and most fond gaming memories, and for good reason: It is the game responsible for selling the NES in the American market following the …

Writing About What I Want, When I Want, How I Want – An Update
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than …

The Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 140 – Paperboy
I’ve been meaning to write about Angry Video Game Nerd episodes for years now. The videos, while extremely crass and possibly intolerable for some types, are also well loved by so many others, especially gamers of my age range who grew up playing games on the Atari 2600, the NES, and later consoles. We grew …
