What is Retro Game Challenge?
Retro Game Challenge is a DS game where you must complete challenges in parodies of your favorite 8-bit classics to defeat the demon digitized version of Shinya Arino, host of Japanese game show Retro Game Master.
What separates this from other minigame compilations?
It's not really a minigame compilation, so much as it's a collection of brand new full length 8-bit games. Each game is a homage/parody of a classic Famicom game.
Titles include:
Uh, I'm not gonna bother bolding the really obscure Japanese games that I've never heard of. I was on the fence on bolding Mappy.
Moving on...
What else do you do?
It's the 80s and you're a kid again. You read gaming magazines! What else? Gaming magazines contain reviews and cheat codes!
But awesome games like this never come out in the States....
This one is! According to the GameCrazy preorder list, it comes out January 6th, 2009.
