Hot Pixel gives WarioWare a run for its money photo

I have been addicted to mini-game titles like WarioWare and Rhythm Tengoku for some time now, so when a new game enters the ring, I tend to sit up and take notice. Hot Pixel for the PSP is Atari's retro flavored offering to the genre, and ought to give an instant boner to fans of Pixeljam and other such nods to the wonders of vintage Atari. 

Hot Pixel contains 130 mini-games and also gives you the option to download another bundle of 70 at the Hot Pixel website. The story mode is for solo play and there is also an online multiplayer for battle matches. If you have favorite mini-games, you can make a Smart Playlist of them, which is a cool tidbit of customization. If this game is anywhere near as cool as it sounds, I feel an addiction coming on. Now maybe I'll stop furiously playing RatMaze 2 (I doubt it.)

Oh my god, it's Colette Day! My favorite holiday! Anyway, this sounds like fun. I liked Warioware so I want to see how this turns out.

Martino, I think PSP is looking to be a pretty good buy now. Its library is a hell of a lot bigger and better and the slims are a lot more lightweight. Worth the investment in my humble opinion! ^__^

It does sound good now. I had a PSP when they first came out. I traded it in within a month or two so sad and disappointed. I'll see if I can get one for 30-40 bucks. Then I will be happy. With all the homebrew out I figure it should be worth it now.

It's so ridiculously worth it JUST for homebrew. I have full NES and SNES libraries on mine along with a few Lucasarts games. BLISS!

What are the names of the Lucasarts games that you have on your PSP, Colette? What games are you playing now?

The Hot Pixel guy completely ruins the game though.







These are actual screenshots.

I've played this game, guy, and most of the mini games are repeated. I mean, it's the same shit with a different background.

If you can get Warioware, get Warioware. Plus, it tries to hard to be hip and funny and it's really not. As you can see from the screenshots over in gomeja's comment.

Colette: You had me when you said "LucasArts." Must buy.

Oh my, Sony is taking the route of the minigame madness now?

Fading Star- I have The Dig and Day of the Tentacle on it right now. They take up a decent amount of space so I can only do a few at a time. My favorite is Grim Fandango though :D

Nothing gives WarioWare a run for its money. I say that with total confidence.

This just got reviewed http://psp.ign.com/articles/824/824915p1.html and I think from this point down, the thread will be quite somber.

This game lacks serious street cred,beware of drive by shooting by Nintendorks when playing it outside in public.

BTW Colette, I got addicted to RatMaze2 thanks to you.

I'm not sure if I should say thanks or curse at you.

Lets go to Barcade?
