Konami claims this is a "significant upgrade" for the game, although it doesn't go into a great level of detail about what's changed. It simply states, "These improvements should greatly refine the gameplay, control input, and character controls for both online and offline play."
The company goes on to promise, "This is the first of many upcoming updates that will focus on improving the Super Bomberman R play experience."
Previously, Konami acknowledged issues with lag when playing online, as well as controller lag in offline play. Those appear to be the target of this first patch.
Super Bomberman R was released alongside the Switch itself earlier this month. You can read GameSpot's review here.
Analogue, a boutique console designer based in Seattle, started selling high-end consoles back in 2012 with the debut of the CMVS Slim. Crafted from hardwood, the system fit the mold of SNK's NeoGeo home console from 1990 but with a decidedly sophisticated look. Unlike proper NeoGeo consoles, the CMVS Slim ran off of original arcade hardware, allowing the use of cartridges far more affordable than their retail counterparts. It wasn't the first console of its kind, but Analogue's eye for design ensured the CMVS Slim was the classiest, with a fetching look and all the essential bells and whistles a NeoGeo enthusiast could hope for.
The company's next project was the Analogue Nt in 2015, a custom system that played both NES and Famicom games. Unlike the CMVS Slim, the Nt was encased in an aluminum chassis. The $500 Nt, like the CMVS Slim before it, utilized original components--in this case, sourced from broken or otherwise unsellable Famicom consoles. Analogue designed a proprietary board, attached the chips it harvested from worn consoles, and paired its creation with an aftermarket video board that allowed for high-end RGB analog video output, or, HDMI support for an added fee; you couldn't have both. The Nt was yet another great-looking console and made it easy for the enthusiasts willing to shell out the cash to play 8-bit Nintendo games on modern TVs without the usual video degradation or input delay that occurs when using a stock NES or other third-party consoles.
Now, Analogue is back with its follow-up, the Nt Mini. It's 20 percent smaller than its predecessor, $50 cheaper at $450, includes a wireless controller adapter and controller from 8bitdo, and supports both a range of analog video signals and HDMI--gone is the original Nt's HDMI-or-analog video dilemma. Otherwise, the Nt Mini retains the excellent build quality, four controller ports despite the shrunken chassis, and adds support for games from all regions, regardless of whether they were designed for PAL or NTSC video standards.
However, one big change isn't apparent to the naked eye: the shift away from original Nintendo processors. For the Nt Mini, Analogue went with an FPGA solution. FPGAs are, in simple terms, chips that can be configured to act in a variety of ways on a circuit level. In this case, Analogue opted for the the Altera Cyclone V FPGA, which has been programmed to behave exactly like an NES.
Among game collectors and historians, there's always the fear that playing vintage games on aftermarket hardware may result in an inauthentic experience. That's not to say that games are fundamentally different when played on emulation-based systems like Hyperkin's Retron 5 or even Nintendo own NES Classic, but they aren't pitch-perfect. In other words, they aren't up to enthusiast standards.
The Nt Mini makes 8-bit Nintendo games look better than any other third-party console we've tested--and, of course, far better than Nintendo's decades-old systems on both analog CRT and digital HDTVs.
We've had an Nt Mini for a little over a month, and while it's obviously impossible for us to ensure that every NES and Famicom game runs at 100 percent accuracy, the dozens of games we tested played exactly as we expected, with zero suspicious behavior to report. Famicom games like Akumajou Densetsu (known as Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse outside of Japan) and Gimmick!, with typically difficult-to-account-for audio-expansion chips, stood the test and sealed the deal: Playing games on an Nt Mini feels, looks, and sounds exactly as it should.
More importantly, the Nt Mini makes 8-bit Nintendo games look better than any other third-party console we've tested--and, of course, far better than Nintendo's decades-old systems on both analog CRT and digital HDTVs. Kevin Horton, a legend among vintage computing communities and well-known for his dedication to comprehensive and complex projects, is the driving force behind the configuration of the Nt Mini's FPGA, with a reported 5,000 hours spent on development. His work is the reason the FPGA acts, in terms of computation, exactly like the original hardware. But with the flexibility provided by the chip and Horton's knowhow, the Nt Mini's special features breathe new life into 8-bit gaming.
The Nt Mini's user interface makes it easy to adjust the system's video resolution--only HD output is configurable, where analog signals are rightfully set at the NES' native 240p resolution. You also have control over the size of the onscreen image (with distinct settings for horizontal and vertical scaling), the choice to apply a scanline filter, a selection of color palettes that alter the overall look of games, and the option to double the system's sprite limit. Increasing the number of sprites per scanline will eliminate most instances of visual flickering, a common issue that plagues a large portion of the NES game library.
With myriad options for playing NES and Famicom games on the market, it's a relief to find the one system that can do it all and satisfy the lofty demands of passionate collectors and enthusiasts. Previously, to re-create the Nt Mini's basic capabilities using authentic hardware, you'd have to spend at least $400 to modify (read: physically alter) both a Famicom and an NES. Even if you did that, you'd be stuck managing two distinct systems with bulky power adapters and dated construction. There's nothing inherently wrong with going that route, but for anyone who wants a complete, all-in-one solution, the Nt Mini is the answer.
Previously, to re-create the Nt Mini's basic capabilities using authentic hardware, you'd have to spend at least $400 to modify both a Famicom and an NES.
That's to say nothing of the system's support for external add-on hardware. The Japan-only Famicom Disk System (the debut platform for The Legend of Zelda and Metroid), works as intended, and there's a Famicom expansion port on the back of the Nt Mini designed to work with devices like the Famicom 3D System (Analogue states this particular hardware works, though we didn't have a unit to test.) And for any games designed to take advantage of the microphone built into the Famicom's second-player controller, a familiar 3.5mm audio port allows you to connect any microphone, including earbuds with inline mics. Though you won't be able to use an NES Zapper on an HDTV with the Nt Mini, that has everything to do with how modern TVs operate and nothing to do with Analogue's hardware. That said, it does support the Zapper when connected to a CRT display.
While this level of compatibility already puts the Nt Mini ahead of its competition, the console goes even further than we'd expected. Like other devices, it supports the use of Game Genie cheat codes. We were, however, delighted to discover that it also has a built-in soundtrack player. Simply place NSF files onto an SD card, and not only can you listen to your favorite 8-bit tracks, but you can also view them in action via a multichannel equalizer that's divided to represent each of the NES' specific waveforms--and, when necessary, the aforementioned specialized audio-expansion channels. If you really want to dive deep into NES audio, you also have full control over the various waveforms, even during gameplay, which allows you to tweak or remaster aspects of NES soundtracks.
For all the aforementioned reasons, the Nt Mini is the best NES money can buy. However, it's worth addressing the existence of the RetroUSB AVS, another FPGA-based NES-like, priced at $185--far less than the Nt Mini's $450. It lacks many of the bells and whistles found in the Nt Mini and only supports 720p over HDMI (the AVS doesn't support analog video output). Unless you have a monitor with a native resolution of 720p, which is a rarity nowadays, the AVS leaves a slight margin for error due to the slow internal video scalers in most TVs, which could result in input delay depending on your monitor. That said, for the price, it's a viable option. But it's no Nt Mini.
Analogue has been busy (with Horton's help) upgrading the firmware of the Nt Mini in the months since its release, tidying up the user interface and adding small-but-meaningful quality-of-life options. On the side, however, Horton has taken the Nt Mini in an exciting new direction. When he wasn't busy perfecting his FPGA NES configuration (referred to as a "core"), he was also working on cores for systems like Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, and Atari 2600, to name a few of the dozen systems he plans to support through the Nt Mini.
Inside and out, the Nt Mini is an incredible piece of hardware that serves its audience better than any other NES-related product on the market.
For nearly two months, on an almost-weekly basis, Horton has released unofficial firmware files for the Nt Mini that introduce support for a new 8-bit system. Without proper cartridge ports (Horton is working on custom adapters), the only way to play games for these extra systems on the Nt Mini is through the use of ROM files loaded onto an SD card. Horton has extended ROM support to the NES core as well, including the ability to back up physical cartridges through the Nt Mini.
Inside and out, the Nt Mini is an incredible piece of hardware that serves its audience better than any other NES-related product on the market. Analogue has outdone itself, setting a new standard for retro gaming hardware. Its price tag will no doubt scare off some potential customers, but if you're looking for a way to play NES games on your monitor of choice--without compromises--look no further than the Nt Mini.
Part of what makes the Nintendo Switch cool is that you can play on a TV or on the go--wherever that may be. Now, College Humor has posted what it calls a "realistic" commercial for the console that shows a man taking a break from playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild on his TV and moving to the bathroom to continue his session.
The rest, as you can imagine, is pretty gross and silly. Here's the video:

Whether you've been hesitant to pick it up or have never tried a game in the series before, Civilization VI now has a demo to give everyone a taste of what it has in store.
The newly released demo is out now on Steam and allows you to play as China with Qin Shi Huang as its leader. Given how long a full match can last, you're only getting a fraction of the full experience--you're limited to playing the first 60 turns. Once you're through, you can either start over again for another 60 turns or purchase the full game.
Those that are new to Civilization can take part in the full game's tutorial to make the experience less daunting. Additionally, Firaxis has published a new list of beginner's tips that may prove handy.
Coinciding with the demo's release, Civilization VI will be part of a broader 2K sale on Steam going live soon. You'll be able to pick up the base game for $48, down from the usual $60.
The CEO of noted episodic game developer Telltale Games has left the company. A representative for the Walking Dead and Minecraft: Story Mode studio confirmed to GameSpot that Kevin Bruner has left the company, with former chief executive Dan Connors taking over.
Connors was Telltale's CEO until January 2015, at which time Bruner took over. Telltale said the new transition from Bruner to Connors should be smooth.
"Kevin has led Telltale over the past couple of years after he stepped into the CEO role for co-founder Dan Connors in 2015. With Kevin departing, Telltale is fortunate to have Dan here to step back seamlessly into the CEO role," a representative for Telltale said in a statement to GameSpot.
Kotaku broke the story, reporting that Bruner informed employees of his departure in a memo this week.
"We've grown aggressively since Telltale's inception, and now Telltale is bigger than I ever dreamed it would be," Bruner said in his memo. "There are many possible futures for Telltale, and all of them are exciting and uniquely challenging. The time has come to pass the reins to someone that can better drive Telltale to the next level and realize all the potential that is here."
Bruner will remain on Telltale's board of directors during the transition, though his long-term status at the company is unclear.
It's the most wonderful time of the year for college basketball. As of 12:15 PM ET today, March Madness is underway. A whopping 32 games will be played over the next two days, and there will surely be down-to-the-wire contests, crazy upsets, and storylines no one could have predicted.
If you have a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you can watch the competition on your console without a cable subscription. On PlayStation 4, you can do this through Sony's PlayStation Vue streaming service. Just recently, the app was updated to support multi-channel viewing, which sounds perfect for March Madness, as you can watch as many as three channels at once.
March Madness games are broadcast on CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV, all of which are available on PlayStation Vue through its cheapest package, Access, which costs $40 month. One thing to be aware of is that CBS (which is GameSpot's parent company) may not necessarily be available where you live. You can visit the PlayStation Vue website to find out if it's offered in your market.
On Xbox One, you can watch March Madness with Sling TV. The most basic package, Sling Orange ($20), does not include every March Madness channel, so you'll need at least Sling Orange ($25) to see the games on TBS, TNT, and TruTV. Additionally, Sling TV does not offer any CBS programming. However, you can watch games broadcast on CBS through the CBS Sports app on Xbox One or on CBSSports.com.
Whereas a lot of game developer turns to Kickstarter to help their projects become a reality, Borealys Games is hoping that crowdfunding can help its game reach the finish line in better shape than it otherwise would.
Borealys is at work on Mages of Mystralia, which I recently got to play at PAX East and walked away very impressed with. Think of it as a Zelda-style game in which the core mechanic is a spell-crafting system with a huge range of possibilities. (You can see some of the wild spells you can create in the video above.) It also boasts a story from Ed Greenwood, who created the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms world, and a soundtrack by Shota Nakama, who worked on Final Fantasy XV's score.
Mystralia is nearing its completion and is due out the second quarter (which runs from April through June). Today, Borealys launched a Kickstarter campaign for a fairly modest amount: $25,000 CAD, or $18,787 in the US. One of its goals is to facilitate a beta that will be used to improve the game and iron out any lingering issues. As business manager Dan Adelman told GameSpot at PAX East, the type of game-breaking spells Borealys wants to stomp out are those that prevent the game from being played, not those that allow you to one-hit kill a boss.
"If someone can come up with a spell that can do that--like, they think it through and they figured out how to do that, then more power to them," Adelman explained. "But that's why we're doing a lot of beta testing. Since there are potentially millions of spells you can make, we want to see if there is something that's really game-breaking. Being able to one-shot kill a boss isn't really game-breaking if they thought it through. That's kind of the game: can I outsmart the game? But if by doing a spell, you can bypass an entire area [where] you needed this thing and you didn't realize that, that wouldn't be fun."
The Kickstarter campaign will also feature stretch goals to add new features to the game, though the first of these won't be revealed until tomorrow, March 17. The studio said it has new game modes it intends to implement post-launch but that the Kickstarter could help to get them released more quickly.
"Recently, there have been several Kickstarter campaigns that have raised an amount of funding to prove that the concept is viable, but then seek publisher or outside investor support for what they really need," Borealys explained in the Kickstarter. "We are taking the opposite approach. We built our proof-of-concept, got investment, and made our game. It is fully playable beginning to end, and many would consider it complete.
"But as we've observed our playtesters and gotten feedback, we've generated a ton of ideas that would not take too long to implement but have the power to take this game to the next level. Adding all of those little tweaks and extra polish will only add a couple months to our schedule, so for a relatively modest sum, we can have a huge impact."
Borealys isn't the first developer to take this approach with Kickstarter--Subset Games did something similar with FTL toward the end of its development.
The low-end for Kickstarter tiers comes in at about $19, which gets you beta access and a copy of the game for PC, PS4, or Xbox One. However, the beta--which launches immediately after the campaign wraps up--will be PC-only.
After launching earlier today, the Kickstarter has raised just over $4,000 USD of its goal as of this writing. It runs for the next month, ending on April 15.
If you already own these games for Xbox 360, they should show up automatically in your Xbox One game library. If not, you can buy them on your console or through the links below.
[Updated March 16 with four more games: Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2, Poker Smash, and Madball in Babo: Invasion]
The Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature, introduced in November 2015, lets you play Xbox 360 games on the new console. But what games are available? We've now rounded them all up--and we'll continue to update this post as new games are made available.
By Anonymous on Mar 16, 2017 09:30 pm If you're looking to play a new Super Mario, Fire Emblem, or Xenoblade game, then 2017 might just be the year to pick up a Nintendo Switch.
Switch owners looking for something new to play will soon have a few new options following the next update to the system's eShop.
Following its delay, The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ arrives tomorrow, March 17, for $40. This includes the base game and everything up through the Afterbirth+ expansion, which added a ton of new items, a new boss, a new chapter, and a lot more.
Also launching are Switch ports of several classic indie games. Human Resource Machine, Little Inferno, and World of Goo are all now available on the system for $10 each. These are listed on Nintendo's website as debuting today, March 16, although they don't appear to be live on the eShop just yet.
None of these may be especially recent--with the exception of Afterbirth+, which only debuted at the beginning of the year--but they are all solid games worth a look if you've missed them before.
Firestorm's devastating projectiles and rushdown strategies are coming to Injustice 2.
A outlasting impression.
If you're looking to play a new Super Mario, Fire Emblem, or Xenoblade game, then 2017 might just be the year to pick up a Nintendo Switch.
