DS/3DS Release Dates & Sales // Tiny Cartridge Stickers For Your Games!

Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii, a fanmade hack promising “a hundred new levels, plus new maps, music, gameplay mechanics, graphics, enemies and more.” This looks really fun, but I wonder how it fares during multiplayer chaos?

You’ll need a homebrew-capable Wii and a copy of the game (one you should acquire legally, of course) to play this mod when it releases this November.

Buy: New Super Mario Bros.

Pokemon Creepy Black demo patch released

Team Creepy Black, the team working on a patch inspired by the “super creepy Pokémon hack” story we shared months ago, has released its first demo!

As covered before, this isn’t an exact replica of the original haunted game, as it’s a modification of Pokémon FireRed for the GBA, not the Pokémon Game Boy releases.

I haven’t tried it out myself, as I don’t have a backup of FireRed to test the patch on, so I can’t say much about the quality or progress of the patch, but you can check out a screenshot and a video for an old build after the break:

Super creepy Pokémon hack

I stumbled on this unsettling story of an obscure Pokémon bootleg/art-hack that I thought might be neat to share on here. I think this originated from 4chan, so I’ve no idea if this hack actually exists. It probably doesn’t, but it’s still a great concept/tale!:


I’m what you could call a collector of bootleg Pokémon games. Pokémon Diamond & Jade, Chaos Black, etc. It’s amazing the frequency with which you can find them at pawnshops, Goodwill, flea markets, and such.

They’re generally fun; even if they are unplayable (which they often are), the mistranslations and poor quality make them unintentionally humorous.

I’ve been able to find most of the ones that I’ve played online, but there’s one that I haven’t seen any mention of. I bought it at a flea market about five years ago.

The “Famirimocon,” a Wiimote hacked into Famicom controller bodies. Lamenting the lack of a “classic” controller option in New Super Mario Bros. Wii due to the game’s occasional motion use, Famicom Kaizou’s blogger created a Wiimote that kind of looks like a Famicom controller.

For some reason, the wiring involved in making this happen required parts from a Game Boy Advance link cable and AC adapter. I have no idea. If you’d like to try this wacky project yourself, it’s detailed in a bunch of pictures at the site.

The Dark Spire font patch →

I noticed this negligible issue in Retro Game Challenge, but it popped up again in The Dark Spire, which released last week. The typeface Atlus used for most of the first-person RPG’s text has scrunched up Ms and Ws — again, it’s a minor annoyance.

Gukid cared enough about it, though, to hack a fix that replaces the Ms, Ws, and punctuation. As usual, you’ll need a copy of The Dark Spire’s ROM to apply the patch, one that we advise you to acquire through legal methods.

It’s interesting to see someone clean up these issues, however trivial they might seem to others . Apparently, there are several other DS games wiith the same problem:

  • Air Traffic Chaos
  • Avalon Code
  • The Dark Spire
  • Retro Games Challenge
  • Suikoden Tierkreis

Buy: The Dark Spire ($27.99)

Crazy Super Mario Bros. hack, made in the FCEUX emulator with custom scripts, that adds mouse control. You can actually pick up enemies and items in-game and move them around!

As a non-programmer, this looks like magic to me. And not like some David Copperfield mirror business — like if Merlin showed up in my house in a cloud of smoke and made my cat ten times larger.

Famicom cartridge-shaped game console. This was posted to our Twitter account on Monday (by Alisha, I think), but I’ve just suddenly decided that it needs to be posted here. Modder goteking took a (probably) cheapo media player and crammed it inside a Famicom cartridge-shaped business card holder.

The result is something that Xzibit would love.

Zelda II: Expeditio Linci →

Speaking of archaic presentations of Zelda:

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is already kind of alienated from the rest of the super-popular Zelda series. So why not make it just that much more odd by translating the whole thing into Latin?
