Yannik Hegge offers his first-hand perspective on GamesCom 2011; the sights, the sounds, the crowds…the crowds.
Today it was discovered that all those loyal Nintendo customers who shelled out the full price for the Nintendo 3DS would finally see some of that sweet Ambassador action, and one day early too. The first 10 games of the 20 promised can be found via the eShop. Simply go to the settings section and find “Your Downloads”. There you can re-download these select NES titles.
Remember the Sega Saturn? Chances are you probably do not have a great recollection of this fifth generation console. Perhaps things could have been a little different though. I mean, It had some tough acts to go up against like the Nintendo 64 and Playstation, but I think with one simple factor the Sega Saturn could have kept up with the big boys.
The wildly successful Portal series has provided countless fan-made videos, including two amazing videos that both dropped this week.
