WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgames!
Games based around mini-games are nothing new in the industry. You could argue that Gorf is one of the earliest examples, while titles like Lazy Jones and Hypersports are all built around similar concepts. Few mini-game-based efforts are as focused as WarioWare, Inc though. Nintendo had already had some success in the area with the […]
Super Nintendo ‘Mega Man X’ Updated With CD Quality Soundtrack
Not too long ago we were made aware of an unofficial modification to Zelda: A Link to the Past where ROM hackers had injected CD quality audio and FMV support. On a similar note, it would now appear that Mega Man X for the Super Nintendo has received a similar update – one where all […]
