The Retro-bit of the day series is taking shape into something new. As you can see, the series will showcase itself in comic form starting today. Lets see how things work out with this format but I think it'll do for the mean time. Today is the last day of January and we...

How a retro gamer starts his morning...

There is always something missing in my mornings as I head to campus. What is it? It's right there in the photo! A nice cup of Mocha Javalanche! It's amazing how addicted I have become to this drink. It's just what I need every morning before I head off to all my classes....

Finding Miis 015: Hittler is found alive!

  I have gotten over 100 tags in the past four months but this one takes the cake. I usually don't post them anymore but I shall come back just to show you the crazy people just around campus. Does that Mii character look familiar? I think so! You can even see how my...

Retro-bit of the day 030: Super Mario Bros 3 (FC)

Probably the best Mario game ever. Super Mario Bros 3 brought it hours and hours of endless fun. The game itself is a masterpiece from beginning to end and I will be shocked if you haven't tried it yet. This game is legendary, this game is something that other developers...

Retro-bit of the day 029: Yoshi's Cookie (FC)

If you love cookies then you will love this game especially if Yoshi is one of your favorite characters (not mine). Yoshi's Cookie for the Famicom is pretty much the same game for the NES. I can see why it was quite easier to bring to the USA instead of Earthbound....Nintendo,...

Retro-bit of the day 028: Super Mario Bros 2 (NES) Hong Kong Edition

Here is today's bit! Super Mario Bros 2 for the NES, but not just any NES, this game is for the Hong Kong NES! The game is quite rare but really good to look at. The Hong Kong release followed the American release unlike in Japan which got the Lost Levels. Anyways, I took...

Retro-bit of the day 027: Wizardry (FC)

 The game Wizardry is your complex RPG. This is the first one in a series of three I believe and it's tough to get into. In these types of RPGs, you'll be ripping your hair off just to get through the first part of the game. The thing about these classic RPGs is that...

Retro-bit of the day 026: Snow Brothers (FC)

I decided to change the scenery for just a day and show off today's pick in the wild! Of course, Snow Brothers is accompanied by a couple of powerful guards from the TMNT series. The game Snow Brothers is actually very fun with two players. The game itself is rare for the...

Here are a couple of gems that arrived in the mail. They are Final Fantasy 2 and Adventure Island 4 for the NES. As you may already know, these are NES repros and are pretty good ones! I have to say these are just amazing additions to my collection. Thanks to this amazing...

Retro-bit of the day 025: Turbo Racing (NES)

Another day, another bit of the day. This time around we have Turbo Racing for the NES. My copy is actually sealed so it has never sucked in a piece of oxygen. I will be honest with you, this game is not that great. It should probably be ignored as it tries to be pretentious...

"Hello everyone, Break here with the release of the 4th update to my popular ROM hack “Pokémon Red - Proud Eyes edition”. After spending more time testing out the hacking tools available, I am very happy with the results of my re-balancing of this classic game....

Retro Gaming News 176: Pokemon games you can 100% by yourself?!?

"I remember back in 1999 when I played Pokemon Red Version for the first time. I literally caught ‘em all… the right way (never did get my Mew till MUCH later). I traded for the ones I couldn’t get, because well, in 1999 EVERYONE had Pokemon and it was easy...

Retro-bit of the day 024: Unknown Hentai Poker Pirate Game (FC)

It's naughty time! This is a very odd game I picked up about two years ago. As you can see, it's naughty indeed. The game is for the Famicom(I hope you figured it out by now) And it's just like any other poker game except the girls get naked as you get richer. The game reminds...

Retro-bit of the day 022: Landstalker (Genesis)

A very wicked game makes the list and it's actually from the Sega Genesis. There were a bunch of obscurities for the console as it didn't got much love for their RPGs. Nevertheless, this one will not get away from me. It may not be a masterpiece but it's very well worth a...

Retro Gaming News 175: Street Fighter vs Mega Man ver 2 is out!

An update has been released for this game that should really be ported to something other than a PC. Capcom needs to get his head of his ass and port this once it's perfect! Maybe more updates in the future? As for now, I'll just have to deal with the PC version using...

Retro Gaming News 174: Astyanax - The Movie

  "This isn’t really a movie adaptation for Astyanax, of course; just a slight improvement on the text and artwork to make all the cut scenes more watchable. Try it out for nostalgia’s sake, or for a little old-fashioned escapism if you’re hating going to school as...
