Tiny Cartridge's 2010 game favorites
2010 is coming to an end, which means it’s time for us to link to a bunch of old stuff look back on the year and think about what we loved the most. It was a pretty great year not only for DS games (especially if you’re a fan of RPGs), but for weird junk related to video games! And that means it was a great year for Tiny Cartridge.
Besides, other video game sites have scaled back...

Game Center CX NYE live stream →
To ring in the New Year, Game Center CX is holding a 12-hour live show that Google Translate tells me is “the collaboration of miracles”!
So far, the show has featured an acoustic performance of the theme song from The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido (unfortunately the original performance is offline) and a Japanese punk version of “Camptown Races”, so I’m...

Best DSiWare/WiiWare/Virtual Console games, 2010...
I meant to share these two links with you forever ago, but I kept getting distracted by Pokemon Spirit comics, Love Plus Christmas dates, and other easy posts that wrote themselves. Enjoy these stale articles!
JC wrote an excellent Holiday Buyer’s Guide for DSiWare, WiiWare, and Virtual Console titles at Joystiq. Christmas is already long behind us, barely visible in the horizon, but...

A year of Tiny Cartridge favorites
If we had to sum up the year in a single post — wait, that’s exactly what we have to do in this post. So, uh, rather than explain how we’d collect our favorite Tiny Cartridge 2010 moments, we’ll just share that collection with you.
To read about our favorite video games from the past year, make sure to hit up this post. For links to haunted games, anti-piracy stories,...

Super Robot Wars J translation released
Did you know that every time a Super Robot Wars translation patch is completed, a Gundam gets its Wing? It’s true, just like all the other lies that grace this page.
Romhacking Aerie, which also helped translate Tales of Innocence in June, has released an English patch for Super Robot Wars J, which was never going to come out in the States for a number of reasons:
It released in Japan...

'Towel Slappin' Pro Jumper' rated for DSiWare →
Furo Jump!!: Guilty Gear Gaiden!? is a Japanese DSiWare title by Arc System Works, tenuously tied to Guilty Gear 2 by starring Chimaki, a pillow thing who appears as a secret item in GG. This game, however, isn’t about beating up on bishonen with ’80s metal band names, instead focusing on Chimaki’s trip from hot spring to hot spring, slapping animals with towels.
And now...

MegaStopwatch: Get Equipped with DS homebrew →
Here’s a goofy, totally unnecessary, but amusing homebrew DS app: MegaStopwatch, the Mega Man-themed stopwatch from Thungbard.
It includes various timing-related functions, including saving times for up to 20 participants in a race, an egg timer, and a metronome, all represented in the menu by altered Mega Man bosses. It also lets you assign start/stop functions to any button on the DS,...

Nintendo 3DS system, games preorders
Starting today, GameStop is accepting preorders for the Nintendo 3DS — I believe most stores require a $50 deposit, though some report that several shops are taking $25. The retailer should contact you once final pricing and colors for the system in North America are announced, likely following the January 19th press event.
I personally prefer to buy my games/consoles elsewhere, so...

Legend of Zelda prototype found →
This is a pretty damn amazing find on the part of the TCRF/Lost Levellers who made it happen: a prototype version of the Famicom Disk System release of The Legend of Zelda has been found and ripped!
The changes mostly involve number of enemies (way more enemies were added to almost every dungeon room in the final release), though there are slight differences in room layouts, music and sound...

Christmas with Nene, Rinko, and Manaka
