The Dark Side Of The NES

March 30th, 2010 by Sean

Have you ever wondered what Dark Side of the Moon would sound like if Pink Floyd had written it for the Nintendo NES?

Thanks to the hard work of Canadian Brad Smith, he’s remixed the entire album in 8-bit Nintendo glory:

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is an all-time rock classic, but that’s provided you’re listening to it on a record or CD, until now.

For those wondering, it’s available for download from the MOON8 project site.

Donkey Kong: Lego Stop Motion Animation

September 12th, 2009 by Sean

I’m a huge fan of Donkey Kong and as a child I loved playing with Legos. Put the two together and you get the following video:

Of course this isn’t a perfect reproduction, but it’s still a really good stop motion interpretation of Nintendo’s Donkey Kong IMHO.

Classic NES Series TV Commercial

September 9th, 2009 by Sean

Check out this totally retro TV advertisement for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP Classic NES Edition:

I completely forgot this ad had music from the synth pop group Yaz. The song is called “Situation” off their 1982 album “Upstairs At Eric’s”.

There was a time when you couldn’t step into a dance club or a roller skating rink without hearing at least part of this song booming over the sound system.

Anyway, back to playing some retro games on my Game Boy Advance SP NES Edition.

Homer Simpson vs. Nintendo's Mario

September 6th, 2009 by Sean

What do you get when you mix a Simpson’s episode with one of my favorite classic 8-bit Nintendo games? Watch the below video to find out:

I love it when TV shows mix in a little classic gaming with humor. I think Homer Simpson makes a pretty convincing Donkey Kong. What do you think?

Guitar Hero Metallica Cyanide – Xbox 360

July 9th, 2009 by Sean

My buddy Brandon came over and we played some Guitar Hero Metallica on my Xbox 360. Here is the song Cyanide on Hard:

Almost had 100% but ended up with 99%. The other stats to mention were a 461 note streak, 5 star rating and a final score of 389,747.

I plan on recording some other gaming videos, so if you have requests, leave them in the comments. Enjoy the video.

Video: Sega Genesis Nomad

July 1st, 2009 by Sean

Picked up this classic Sega Genesis Nomad at a local Goodwill for $29.99 USD.

The thing is a huge brick, but it works nicely. The game cartridge I’m showing in the video is the Genesis 6-Pak that contains Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns and Super Hang-On.

Polar White Nintendo DS Lite Unboxing

May 27th, 2009 by Sean

This is the new Polar White Nintendo DS Lite I received today. I didn’t do the typical unboxing video with me talking and having issues with the box, etc, so instead I took pictures of the process:

As you can see in the video, I also added in some cool visual effects and some rockin 12 string acoustic guitar.

FYI the music was pre-recorded and not played while I was taking pictures :)

Video: Nintendo Mario Kart

May 25th, 2009 by Sean

Video captures of Mario Kart showing the different levels of Mario Kart from the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube and Wii versions:

Looking back at the different versions of Mario Kart, it’s hard to say which one is my favorite. I really enjoy playing them all.
