Review: Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack (33 1/3)

Review: Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack (33 1/3)

Apr 30, 2016

While I’m not personally familiar with the 33 1/3 book series from Bloomsbury Academic, it’s apparently well regarded for its analyses of famous music. As far as I know, Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack (33 1/3) (Andrew Schartmann; 2015) is their first videogame entry. The legendary Super Mario Bros. (1985) for...

News: Nintendo NX to see release in March 2017 worldwide

Apr 27, 2016

While my prognostication skills are usually spot-on, when it came to the release of the Nintendo NX, which I thought would be previewed at E3 2016 in June and released holiday 2016, I was rather off (see here and here). According to Nintendo, the only major unveil at E3 will be...

News: 8Bitdo Wireless Adapter is Now Available for Purchase

Apr 25, 2016

The 8BitDo wireless adapter is now available for purchase from Play-Asia, but right now it’s only for NES controller ports, so it only supports two main action buttons despite working with all 8BitDo wireless controllers (this is according to the source, Analogue; you can get more details here).

Review: Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad (Super NES style)

Apr 25, 2016

Review: Cyxus Portable Mini Spotlight Flash for Smartphone

Review: Cyxus Portable Mini Spotlight Flash for Smartphone

Apr 25, 2016

If there’s one thing we know smartphone users like, it’s taking photos, and taking photos often means taking selfies. Unfortunately, taking a good selfie is often difficult because of the lack of light, with few phones having a sufficiently bright screen or a front-facing flash. The Cyxus Portable Mini Spotlight Flash...

Review: Eno ET-09 Clip on Guitar Tuner

Apr 25, 2016

The Enco ET-09 Clip on Guitar Tuner is a tiny, clip on headstock tuner with vibration detection and fast response for guitar, bass, and ukulele instruments.
