In 2008 Capcom did something that was an uncommon stroke of genius: They made a new Mega Man game in the style of the original NES classics. To the untrained eye, you would have been left to believe they simply took the same engine and made new levels. It was that faithful, and it was a critical and commercial success as a retro-styled downloadable title. They would inevitably follow it up with Mega Man 10 two years later.

I’d like to preface this piece with the following information: I’ve waited in line 4 times, totaling over 10 hours of my free time, and still have not purchased an NES Classic. I’ve attempted to buy one second-hand without paying more than twice the retail price, with no success. I’ve been on a waiting list at a brick-and-mortar retailer (that I will not name) since the day it was announced, and have not yet acquired a unit. Still waiting on a...

Many are quick to call this program the “Netflix of Gaming”, which is fairly accurate considering the ease of use and the rotating library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games they plan to...

Timothy Wedel gave us a great look into how PlayStation Now works (sometimes), and its an experience that mirrors my own when I gave it a go on the Vita.

Sony put a lot of effort into the system in hopes of it serving as “backwards compatibility” for older...
