Here’sDragon Quest IV, an updated NES classic from the kings of the remake, Square-Enix. With years of old retro games already written out, Square-Enix has got it made for the next decade with the ability to just update the graphics and watch the profits roll in.

While the first console I technically had in my household was an NES, the Super Nintendo came around when I was finally old enough to really appreciate them. So, the console is a familiar and dear friend. However, I’m more passionate about exploring places that I haven’t been before. Thankfully, the SNES has a large enough library that I’m still coming across worthwhile titles that I’ve missed. There are over 700 games in the SNES library, and that’s just in North America and excluding Super Famicom exclusives....

Plus, a number of them looked at giving players more features than what we’ve grown accustomed to from past iterations. And the winner is … Call of Duty: Black Ops II Developer Treyarch blew away expectations and raised the bar on what it means to be aCall of Dutygame....

‘Flex’ I can’t get enough of unofficial console/portable mockups. Although opinions wildly vary from system to system (official or otherwise), for the most part, I’ve been happy with Nintendo’s portable line for the past 30 years since the Game Boy debuted. There’s certainly been some refinements (like the SP for the Advance generation) but I don’t have a major problem with any first iteration Nintendo portable. This concept from designer YJ Yoon is called the “Flex,” and basically rethinks the launch of the OG Game Boy....

It wasn’t amajorfix, but it was far less campy than the original PlayStation version. Now, you can relive the all that PSX glory with this fix from the Resident Evil Modding Forum.

It’s tough to be blind or visually impaired. I think we can all agree that that is a true enough statement. You probably miss out on a lot of great things. Playing videogames would be one of those things that completely blind people miss out on (unless they’vemastered echolocation), but what about those who are only visually impaired and want to play games? Shouldn’t they be considered when game designers make games?...
