Nintendo Announces A Link To The Past 2 For The 3DS

Nintendo blew all Zelda fans away this morning on their 3DS direct stream when they announced The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2, a true sequel to the SNES classic. The game will be releasing this holiday for the 3DS. A video will be made available later on the Nintendo eShop and we will have it for you here as soon as we get it.

The game takes place in the same world as A Link to the Past and features new locations and dungeons. Link will possess the ability to turn himself into a 2D sticker to make his way into various places by clinging to walls.

May I personally just say that I apologize to Nintendo for wondering why they would have a direct stream this morning to focus mainly on the 3DS. You have given me new Zelda. I am sorry sir.

The RetroN5 Announced… Wait Where’s The N4?

So remember earlier this month when we told you about the RetroN4, the console that would play NES, SNES, Genesis and Game Boy Advanced games? Well it seems that maker Hyperkin is going to toss any of those in the desert with all those lost Atari E.T. cartridges.

At the Midwest Gaming Classic show Hyperkin unveiled the RetroN5. It will play NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA and also Famicom games. SD card slot will be on the system for saves and it will come with an HDMI port and two Bluetooth controllers. Hyperkin hopes to releases the RetroN5 this summer for under 100 bucks.

At this rate you might as well wait until Christmas when they release the RetroN10 which will play NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Boy Advanced, Game Gear, Phillips CD-i, Jaguar and 3DO games.

Do you have an important function to go to? A nice dinner or maybe a wedding of a person that you don’t really consider a friend, but know well enough to put on a suit? Are you actually a very lonely gamer and sometimes you dress up while you play Dead or Alive and pretend that you are on a date with one of the chicks in the game?

Well Bazinga Jewelry is looking to cater to you. They are offering these video game controller inspired cufflinks for the man about town…and games. Each set will run you back $19.99 and they have choices that include the NES, SNES, Genesis, Xbox 360 and Playstation.

At the very least you could buy a set for that one magical day when you have to wear a nice suit and people will notice your mad cufflinks. So go buy them and call your grannie to see how she is feeling.

And now we play the waiting game.

Here Is The RetroN 4. Now You’re Playing With Power…And A Lot Of Holes

Photo courtesy polygon.com

Have a look at this mixture of childhood dreams and Dr. Frankenstein engineering. This is the RetroN 4 which looks like Nintendo and Sega got together one night over some drinks and a carton of Marlboros and let nature run its course.

This machine can play NES, SNES, Genesis and Game Boy Advanced cartridges and keep you re-living the lost memories of your youth without having to search around in your parent’s storage room for the consoles you told them to take care of, but they just stuffed them in a box next to your old baseball trophies and dad’s extra two cycle oil.

I digress.

Hyperkin will be showing off the RetroN 4 at the Midwest Gaming classic trade show on March 23rd. It comes two controller ports per system and a bluetooth controller that will allow you to customize your controls according to the system you are playing. An HDMI output makes for easy connection.

No release date has been given for the RetroN 4.

Jurassic Life: A Jurassic Park Half-Life 2 Mod That Is A Wonder To Behold

Hold On To Your Butts.

A team of programmers have spent over six years developing this [amazon_link id=”B004KKXMSI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Jurassic Park[/amazon_link] mod for Half-Life 2 called Jurassic Life. Now six years is a long time to be working on the game but when you take into account how small the group developing the mod is then it is truly amazing how this game is coming along.

They have just released a new video on their website showing off some of the locales and dinosaurs that you will be coming across.The video is also accompanied by John Williams’ iconic score which makes this mod even greater. And let’s be honest, we haven’t had a good Jurassic Park game since the SNES version (crappy Mode 7 and all) so let me just give encouragement to the developers and say we JP fans can not wait to play this when it is done.
