It's Not Too Late For An 8-Bit Christmas
Christmas 2009 may have come and gone, but you've still got two days two days to order the perfect gift for the retro gamer in your life - RetroZone's 8 Bit Xmas 2009. More »A Star, Not an Angel, Atop This Tree
Largely Nintendo-themed Christmas Tree (with some Sega and arcade), as seen on 8-Bit Fix via Hawty McBloggy.This is Battletoads?
Machinima just can't help itself. We've seen Castlevania, Mario, Contra, and now here we are with Battletoads as reenacted within Half-Life 2. More »Half-Contra: The NES Classic Goes 3D
Machinima put this up last week, following the Castlevania and Mario reconstructions in Half-Life 2. Anyone who's ever played Contra - that should be all of us, right? - will want to watch this start to finish. More than once. More »This Throne Is Hallowed, Ancient
Yup, those are Famicom carts. As seen on Erick Kwiecien, via Gizmodo.8-Bit Left 4 Dead De-Make Arrives in January
Here I thought all the flashing corpses meant we were watching the Australian version of Left 4 Dead. I kid, Luke! I kid!!! No, this is a bona fide playable 8-bit "demake" of L4D, available soon for PC. More »And Now ... the 'NEStickle'
Reader Osama D's French friend built him this fighting stick out of a Nintendo Entertainment System, before leaving for his home country for good. You know, when I say goodbye to folks, I usually just buy a card or something. More »Life-Sized NES Made From LEGO
More than that actually — the NES has two LEGO controllers, a LEGO Tetris game cartridge and a LEGO TV. More »Yahoo: NES, Dreamcast Best Toys Of All Time
That time of year when parents have to invest in the newest hot toy for Christmas is at hand. Too bad not many of these Best Toys of All Time are still hot. More »New Kids On The Block NES Box Fetches Ridiculous Sum
How much would you pay for this New Kids On The Block sample box for the NES game that was never released? If you're off your rocker for NKOTB, then surely $589 isn't too high a price. More »Earthbound Inspired Shirtness, Hatness Ups Your Nerdness
It is not too late to do a very serviceable Ness impersonation this Halloween, thanks to Fangamer, creators of the Earthbound inspired "Awesomeness Combo Pack," complete with shirtness, hatness and yo-yo-ness. More »Yo Dawg ...

The list of NES case- and controller-mods we've seen covers just about everything imaginable, but Joe from the modder site Proto Dojo goes one better - making a USB drive unlockable by the Konami Code. More »Someone Just Paid $20,000 For This NES Game
Spending $15,000 or even $17,500 on a collectible Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge, that we can understand. They're covered in gold! But $20,100? That's simply too much, even factoring in Nintendo Campus Challenge 1991's rarity. More »Custom Figures Have Lotsa Gut(s)
Homebrew action figure designer Donald "KodyKoala" Kennedy is working on a theme here - guts. As in Guts-Dozer, of Mega Man 2. And as in King Hippo's dunlop spare tire. More »How Come Nobody Ever Does This to 'Friday the 13th'?
I'm no foe of the hard drive/cartridge mod craze, but it strikes me that they're never ripping the guts out of games that deserve the trashing. Instead, modders only hurt the ones you love ... More »Contra vs. Duck Hunt
There's no Contra in Duck Hunt, but let's imagine there was. Let's fantasy. Let's. More »Toys R Launches Game Trade-Ins Nationwide - Update

Mario was Put in Punch-Out Without Permission
The latest "Iwata Asks" bull session regards Punch-Out!!! - the NES original, not the Wii sequel - and it's quite revealing. Especially when designer Makoto Wada (pictured) pipes up. More »
