Actually, I think the article is wrong. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be Bowser. I think the joke is that the this is just supposed to be the same security company that worked for Bowser and that Bowser's weird castle/trap system is part of a standard package.

Well, I was going to say it looked a little like a radar screen. That is, until I googled 'radar' and took a better look. Now I've got no idea what that's supposed to be.

While I can't speak to the actual quality of the game since I haven't played it, I definitely agree that it's not 8-bit at all. It looks like a NES platformer with SNES graphics.

Wow. This brings back some bad memories from childhood.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think that makes us super-nerds.

My personal favorite was the fried chicken loving Robocop that walked around while the music from Back to the Future III played.

This isn't the same situation at all. The problem in the 80's wasn't necessarily the flood of crapware, it was the gross miscalculation of demand. Companies were making 100,000 cartridges and only selling 1000. And the consoles and cartridges weren't cheap - either to make or to buy. So putting out so much physical…

I loved Animal Crossing on the GameCube. In college, my roommate, my girlfriend and I played it just about every day for a year. I've tried really hard to get into any of the sequels (or whatever they'd be considered) but they just don't do it for me. The one change that I think ruins it for me is that they took the…
