  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/12

    Hey friends, we’re back with another discussion of this week’s Virtual Console releases. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Damn, these guys sure do a lot of complaining about these games.” While sometimes that may be so, we’ll have to find something else to complain about this week. This week, we’re getting Castlevania III…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/5

    Let’s see if I can out myself in Nintendo’s shoes for a moment. People have been complaining about them releasing only one game a week on the Virtual Console…what’s the best way to appease them? Of course, release one game on Wii Ware too, making all things equal! Let’s see how foolproof that is, as…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/29

    Just when you thought they were only going to be releasing one game every week on the VC, this week…they still released only one game. Ha! Fooled you! Ok, that was lame. But let’s hope this week’s new VC game isn’t lame, too. This week, we’re getting Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II. Let’s see what everyone…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/22

    Another week, another single game released on the Virtual Console. It’s getting kind of annoying, although to be fair, it’s a much-anticipated and renowned title that probably should stand on its own: Phantasy Star IV from the Genesis. And let’s see what DHGF has to say about it!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/15

    It’s the holiday season, the time when Santa makes his list, checks it twice and brings gifts to all the good boys and girls. Will Nintendo release a good game on the Virtual Console for Santa to bring us? Well, this week, we’re getting Enduro Racer from the Master System. Yep, I’d say it looks…

  • Kickin’ It Old School – Tiger Electronics

    There was nothing cooler back in the day than Tiger Electronics. Well, unless you don’t count Nintendo and Sega. Tiger released a nice array of LCD games in the 90’s, which weren’t exactly flashy but could be fun depending on the game. They did make a few cartridge based systems though, which were pretty innovative…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/8

    They’ve done it again, folks. The Virtual Console has experienced another one game weak. I mean, week. Stupid Freud…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/1

    Hey there, it’s time for us here at DHGF to give our opinions on the new Virtual Console games of the week. Or rather, game. One game. One lonely game. Again. Sigh. Anyway, it’s Metal Slug 2 from the Neo Geo. Where’s Earthbound? Does anyone know? I think I’m gonna cry.

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 11/24

    It’s time once again for us here at DHGF to see what Nintendo has in store for us on the Virtual Console. This week, they certainly picked a winner with Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure!! And let’s see what DHGF thinks of this one!

  • Kickin’ It Old School – Hook (NES)

    Like most movies from my childhood, Hook holds a special place in my heart. The adventure of a grown-up Peter Pan is still fun and heartwarming, and I still sit and watch it, quoting each the line the whole way through. It’s a timeless classic and I love it, but why is the NES game…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 11/17

    Last week, fans of classic games were treated with one of the best games on the NES with Mega Man 3. So how do you follow that? Of course, you follow it with Forgotten Worlds from the Genesis and Space Invaders: The Original Game from the SNES. Well, they’re no Mega Man 3, but let’s…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 11/10

    Well, we’ve seen Mega Man and Mega Man 2 get released on the Virtual Console, it’s about time they finished up that trilogy. This week’s lone VC release is Mega Man 3 from the NES. Let’s hear what you friends at DHGF had to say about it.

  • Kickin’ It Old School – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    I loved the Turtles back in the day. I watched the live action movie almost daily (the first one is still one of my favorites) and had as many toys as I could pester my parents to buy for me. My favorite was Heavy Metal Raphael, which was just awesome in every single way. Too…

  • Kickin’ It Old School – Super Bases Loaded

    You know what’s awesome? Baseball! And as the World Series is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory (the only way it would be better is if the Cubs were in it, but they were evidently drunk during the NLDS, so no dice), and as life has finally slowed down enough…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-Up for 10/27

    Now this is just getting weird. Nintendo continues its good Virtual Console games streak this week with a single release. “One game?” you no doubt are saying, “that sucks.” It would if the game in question wasn’t Earthworm Jim, one of my favorites and a cult classic. Let’s hear what DHGF has to say about…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 8/18 Releases

    Hey friends, we’re back with your new Virtual Console releases of the week. This week might as well be subtitled “Better Late Than Never Week”, as we’re getting the recently rumored/withheld Mega Man for the NES and Neo Turf Masters from the Neo-Geo. One of these things is not like the other, one of these…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 7/29 Releases

    Know what would be nice? If they would release games on the VC I’ve actually played and can comment on. Although, everyone else’s comments led to me buying Gley Lancer, which is freakin’ awesome, so maybe that’ll happen again this week. This week saw Chase H.Q. and Art of Fighting 2 from the T16 and…

  • Review: Gyrostarr (Nintendo Wii)

    Gyrostarr Genre: Shoot ’em Up Developer: High Voltage Software Publisher: High Voltage Software Release Date: 06/23/08

  • E3 Nintendo Press Conference Recap

    Hey friends, seeing as these things cost money and all, I wasn’t exactly able to attend E3 this year, which I thought would have been cool. However, through the magic of the internet, I’m able to watch the press conferences from the safety and comfort of my own bed. Ooh, and my bed’s so comfortable,…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-Up – 6/23 Releases

    Hey there friends, we’re back with your new VC games of the week. This week, we’re getting Alex Kidd in Miracle World from the SMS and Burning Fight from the Neo-Geo. Not so bad, but not so good, huh? Let’s see what everyone else has to say about it.
