The Memory Card .76: Brotherly love

“The Memory Card” is a seasonal feature that dissects and honors some of the most artistic, innovative, and memorable videogame moments of all time. We all have experienced our fair s...
Game SERIES Debate to the Death! The Legend of Zelda

Good gaming gods, last week's debate was epic, and I do not use that word lightly. I had to go through all 235 comments twice, just to make sure no tallying mistakes were made. The outcome broke ...
Game Boy inducted into National Toy Hall of Fame

Did you know there was a National Toy Hall of Fame at Strong Nation Museum of Play in Rochester, New York? True story! Inducted last year into the Toy Hall of Fame was the Stick (seriously?), and...
This is how you beat Final Fantasy Legend in two minutes

I like to think that I'm a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise, but I must admit that I'd never heard of Final Fantasy Legend until today, much less played it. It was kind of a big deal, apparentl...
iPhone 3GS runs Game Boy Advance at over 150FPS, also FF7

New videos of PlayStation and Game Boy Advance emulators running on iPhone 3GS hardware look pretty impressive. There's no jailbreak yet, but when it happens, you'll have a pretty nice ...
Rumortoid: DSi to get Gameboy, GBA downloads

Remember when Microsoft stopped providing updates to the Xbox 360 that allowed it to play old Xbox games, then "coincidentally" launched its downloadable Xbox Classics? It's an obvious ...
Advance Wars killer found guilty

You might not remember it, but quite a while ago we ran a story where Advance Wars had somehow been linked to a murder. 20-year-old Mathew Pyke was found stabbed to death last year, and it had be...
From cuddly to crazy: The history of the videogame bunny

Hey, bunnies of the world. Today is Easter, your special day. Forget about Peeps, coloring eggs, and celebrating the resurrection of that bearded fellow. Today is all about you. Without you, who ...
Fail: DSi prototype did have a GBA slot, removed due to size

One of the primary complaints people have of Nintendo's new portable, the DSi, is that the Game Boy Advance slot was removed. Aside from removing the ability to play the huge library of GBA games...
Fan translation of Mother 3 is finally finished!

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe the day has finally come (and before you yell, yes, I know this news was official a couple nights ago -- you can blame the blind, homeless children I have been r...
Bargain Bin Laden #30: Sonic Advance

It's fair to say that Sonic the Hedgehog fell on hard times when the industry moved out of the 16bit era. Despite a few glimmers of hope, the once-beloved mascot never truly coped with the evolut...
Starmen.net assaults Nintendo of America with envelopes, books

You guys already know the score -- when there's movin' and shakin' in the way of EarthBound or Mother news, I'm usually the nerd on call to give you the skinny. And since almost every ounce of mo...
Bargain Bin Laden #20: Gunstar Super Heroes

Today, BBL rolls up on the big two-oh. I was planning on some grand gesture to celebrate, like some sort of Destructoid team photo where we're all fighting each other while riding bears or someth...
Two teams make one in ongoing quest for a Mother 3 translation

Destructoid is no stranger to the myriad Mother 3 translation dramabombs that have dropped since the game's original Japanese (and nowhere else) release of the game, mostly due to my corrupt ...
Bargain Bin Laden #17: Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga

There's a particular point in this week's BBL that I'm going to say now, because I'll invariably get kicked in the face for saying so -- let's get the face-kickin' out of ...
The Memory Card .08: A twist on a classic

Remaking a game (especially a classic one) is a very risky endeavor.On the one hand, designers don’t want to ruin what made the game a classic to begin with, usually just releasing an almos...
Rhythm Tengoku: the arcade version!

If I had to be cast away on a deserted island with but a single game for my Nintendo DS, I would have to opt for the fat little imported Gameboy Advance nugget that is Rhythm Tengoku. This title...
GBA tech demo shows off some mighty horsepower

Talk about impressive. This video from Unseen64 demonstrates the kind of horsepower that the GBA really had, showcasing a tour of a facility not unlike the docking facility in the original Metal ...
Bargain Bin Laden #12: Scurge: Hive

This week's Bargain Bin Laden begins with a personal gripe: Nintendo and NST really crapped in my cereal with Metroid Prime: Hunters. Not because it was a bad game -- quite the contrary, actu...
Mother 3 soundtracks available on US iTunes store

Hello, people outside of Japan! How are you today? I have some exciting news! You can finally now download your favorite tunes from the Game Boy Advance game, Mother 3! Two soundtracks have been...
Destructoid hands-on: Ghost Rider

Due out next week for the PlayStation 2, PSP, and GameBoy Advance (yeah, the GBA is still alive), I got a chance to play the final build of Ghost Rider today during a visit with 2K Games. Check...
Game Debate to the Death! Handheld Metroid VS Handheld Castlevania

Last week I asked everyone how they preferred positioning their next generation gaming consoles -- horizontal or vertical? Everyone made some sex jokes and a few people even cleverly retorted wi...
New GBA game; it ain't easy being indie

We empathize with companies still supporting the GBA platform who's games don't have poniez, puppiez, and kittiez in it. Naturally, they're having a nightmare trying to get it in reta...
12 year old arrested for opening Game Boy early

What should have been a domestic issue turned into petty larceny when Brady(?) Ervin called the police when her 12-year-old son opened his Christmas present early, as reported by The Smoking Gun....
New monsters, playable characters confirmed for FFVI Advance

Oh, Internet -- you cheeky little thing, you. Turns out the Final Fantasy VI Advance ROM has been leaked, and ravenous fans of the game that aren't Dtoid editors (which is to say, not me) hav...

myFlash = new FlashObject('http://www.gametrailers.com/umremote312.swf', 'swffile', 480, 409, 8); myFlash.altTxt = ''; myFlash.addVariable('mid', 14936); myFlash.write(); Can you believe how ...
