NES Mini’s, cute lil’ self is right at home at the Arcade.Arcade Hotel is a hotel that has major love for the games of yesteryear. That’s kind of our thing. You know, retro games an 80s and 90s pop culture. At the hotel we have a constantly growing catalogue of old video games and consoles, ranging from Atari 2600 and NES to Xbox and the Playstation 2.

Me personally, I love the old consoles. I’d like to start collecting them. But you know, where do I put all of it in my mini apartment? Let’s not forget the kind of a hassle it is to connect the old console to your new HD TV.

BAMMMMMMMMMMMM, here comes Nintendo with amazing news! This november they are dropping the Nintendo Classic Mini. A mini NES console that easily connects to your TV via HDMI. What’s even better it has 30 classics installed!!

And I do mean classics:

all the Marios,
two Zelda’s,
Final Fantasy,
Metroid and,
Punch Out.

That’s just summing up a few.

Did I mention it’s EUR/USD 59,99? I know what I am asking Santa this Christmas!

Submachine: A Game Series for Adventurers

You are alone in a basement. And you need to get out. Simple, eh? Maybe not. What begun as just one entry by Mateusz Skutnik, became a fan-favourite series in the indie game scene, especially for the lovers of adventure games.

Add to that the use of ambient music (à la “Myst” series), and you make this a game (and subsequent series) a timeless, atmospheric experience. The series started in mid-00’s, and slowly the creator would release new entries every now and..

Bambi Meets Godzilla. Yes, Really.

When you think of classic animation, what comes to mind first? Probably, iconic movies such as The Lion King or Toy Story, right? But what about another animation classic, Bambi Meets Godzilla. Wait, what? In 1969, Marv Newland made this student film, while experimenting with animation. The plot is very simple: Bambi (yes, the deer) is just chilling, when suddenly he gets stepped by Godzilla. That’s it. The 90-second long clip is absurd, hilarious, but also innovative for its time. It has even been considered as worthy of preservation by the Academy Foundation (those people who hand out the Oscars), and received a couple of sequels too. Early animation was crazy. Marv Newland went on to make a lot more animated films and series (including some in the..

The game was developed by ProX, a person or studio (we are not sure) famous for bringing you…eh…The Hidden and Unknown. That’s it. That is the only game they have ever released on Steam. We haven’t played the game (obviously), but there are some walkthroughs on YouTube about..
