Plenty gamers cut their teeth on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) during the eighties. Retro gamers can take hundreds of nostalgic trips down memory lane with the Wii's Virtual Console, but publisher Xseed is preparing a compilation of old school NES-style games you may have missed the first time around. Remember Cosmic Gate, Star Prince, or Robot Ninja Haggle Man? No? Well, that's because these are new old games included in Retro Game Challenge. A celebration of classic gaming, developer Namco created eight original games in an old-fashioned style and compiled them in one DS cartridge that should be a retro gamer's wet dream.
In Anthony's final 8-Bit Chronicles for 2019, he dives into...a DS game? That's right: it's Retro Game Challenge -- based off the Japanese TV show Game Center CX!
Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido released earlier this month! We say that because E3 makes June a busy time, and also because, if early reports are accurate, not a lot of players picked it up.
