Yo retro gamers! Bringing you the briefs on what went down in the retro gaming world this past week!
###
For anniversaries this week, we have Mario Paint (SNES) turning 20 years old. I still think it?s weird that we never saw an updated version on the Wii, since it would?ve been sweet with motion control.
###
On the ?new retro games? front, we have a team working on a 16-bit-style game called Volgarr The Viking, set as an ode to old-school Sega Genesis platforming hack-?n'-slash games, meant to be challenging, rewarding, and just plain fun. They are using Kickstarter to fund it, and looks like it will be a triumphant success story.
###
Speaking of Kickstarter, gaming advocate Patrick Scott Patterson is seeking a relatively modest amount of funds so that he can simply purchase new video equipment to provide even better content for gamers everywhere. His social media efforts have only been growing, and both modern gamers and retro gamers alike probably have a lot to look forward to in terms of his exclusive content.
###
Newcomer retro gaming site 1 More Castle is launching new video content, with new contributors signing up recently that have agreed to provide high-quality retro gaming series. The Retro Critic was already doing a weekly text review, but his look at Batman on Game Boy launches his video series as well, along with newcomer Retrocity whose initial video covers Sega Mega Drive mascots. The two series will join the already-established Retro Lookback.
###
And last, but probably not least, Review A Bad Game Day (which @AusRetroGamer has dubbed ?Abomination Day?) is coming up soon, on August 8th! Want to participate? All you have to do is post a review of a video game that you think is bad, on August 8. That?s it! The Heavy Metal Gamer even made an ominous trailer to watch.
