Wii Classic Controller Pro is a go in America, out now

I love this controller. It’s close to my dream controller, and that does not come from a Nintendo fanboy place at all. It just feels right, and the buttons and d-pad are wonderful. I got my first one from a local import shop that bought too many and couldn’t sell them all. Now you can get a legit one for $19.99 in America. Black or White, it doesn’t matter. That’s double the shoulder buttons of the original Wii Classic Controller (which I also love) and grips to boot....

‘My Famicom Exhibition’ is an art show of games that never were

Japan? Doing something cute?! Since when?! Here’s something that really should be way too cute to exist.My Famicase Exhibitionis an annual art show being run at the Meteor game shop in Kichijoji, Tokyo. The collection shows nearly 150 different fake Famicom cartridges, each with custom art depicting games that do not actually exist, imagined by the artists. They’re all just so lovely, and I think this is a great way of breathing new life in to cartridges which might not be seeing much use these days....

Assassin’s Creed IV’s companion app is pretty rad

Earn money on the go Did you play the Outer Ops missions inMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker? It was a little meta-game thing that let you send your soldiers to take on various conflicts around the world. It was a risk/reward system, as you could gain valuable resources while potentially losing, if not all, of your soldiers. This meta-game happened in-between missions, and while you could totally ignore it I found myself addicted to the idea....

Blizzard will be ceasing support for Windows XP and Vista this year

Oh no, not Vista… Windows XP was the defacto operating system for a very long time. I remember immediately upgrading in 2001 and not really thinking about changing until I eventually tried out Windows 7 in 2010. The removal of MS-DOS was pretty big, but the legacy support and general stability made up for some missing features. Surprisingly, a lot of people are still running XP, despite Microsoft ending support for the operating system eight years ago!...
