Shinobi III On Your iPhone
I spent many an hour and many a quarter on Shinobi back in the day and now I can spend just as much time (but not as much money) playing it on my iPhone. Sega has just released the great Genesis/Mega Drive classic to the App Store. The controls as great and the game play [...]

PS3 Smashing Into A TV At 80 KMH
What happens when you throw a Sony PS3 into a 46-inch Bravia KDL46X 3100 LCD TV? Total destruction. What purpose does throwing a gaming unit at a TV at 80 Km/h? Well I really don’t think it has anything to do with scientific research. Could it be a viral marketing video for Sony Australia’s new [...]

Thrustmaster’s Lightsaber Wimote Add-On
There have been quite a few lightsaber add-ons for your wimote’s before, but this one from Thrustmaster actually looks quite cool. The units are powered by three AAA batteries and have 17 blue or red LED’s for some glow in the dark fun. I’m not sure how much they will add to gameplay, but they [...]
Nintendo Stops Modders With Glue
Nintendo has just landed a serious blow to mod chip developers. By using something as simple as epoxy, they have made it a sticky (no pun intended) situation for people who are developing mod chip for their game console, the Wii. Glued down epoxy around the DVD-ROM IC chips will surely make it hard, if [...]
Wii Backup ISO Loader
The above video shows you a very legit looking Wii backup ISO loader that’s in the works. The loader works via the super easy to use homebrew channel. It seems that you will have to rip the game disc and then patch it before you can burn the copy. No release date has been set [...]

NES PC Casemod
Here’s another NES mod, not quite like the “Wii in an NES” mod that we featured a few days ago, but this “PC in an NES” mod is a stealthy and slick one never-the-less. At first glance you would see nothing more than the beloved 8-bit gaming system some of us grew up with, but [...]
