We know ever since plans for the 3DS the only thing every animal crossing fanatic has had on their mind is IS AC GOING 3D. Well we can answer that not and the answer is YES. We are still awaiting release date but I utterly can’t wait. Yes it was announced on Tuesday 15th at the E3 concert. Its coming. And this is what AC needs to get it back to the top.

The graphics will be crisper and with bigger heads. And wait for it… YOU GET TO BECOME THE MAYOR! I know ever since I started playing AC I have wanted to take control. So you cannot afford to miss it.

Look forward to our feature as we look back at all the ACs as everyone looks forward to the AC 3DS.

Many Thanks,

Joshua

Feature – Remember when…

As part of the current retro week we are going to take you back to the days when gaming wasn’t about touch screens or sensors just simple but addictive low graphic games. But what came out of that? Some of the best games ever created. Follow us as we take you back to an era of tricky platformers that gave us Super Mario bros. and Sonic The Hedgehog, two of which are arguably the best games ever created. As the world is took over by the new dsi and it’s incredible features we want to show you what real gaming is about.

It was back in 1985 and Nintendo was developing from a playing card company to making its first games console. Nintendo Entertainment System was born (NES as most commonly referred to) to follow the Atrari VCS. Later that decade Super Mario Bros. was born (notice without the ‘NEW’, yes there is such thing). In 1987 America saw the first Sega console come in to the world of gaming . Bringing another classic game that would change the fast developing world of gaming. Sonic the Hedgehog later arriving in the UK 1991. The Sega Master System was born, not quite as popular as the later Mega Drive. This was the first generation of games consoles, anything before that was not worth thinking about. (There is consoles we haven’t included but they were just spin offs)

Its 1991 and Sonic The Hedgehog has finally come to the uk. And Sega’s plans carry on with the release of the Mega Drive. This new console would give us the same Sonic The Hedgehog but with better graphics and would lead the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on Master System and Mega Drive. Later that decade the sonic and Mario revolution carried on with Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Super Mario Bros. 1&2. This was gaming’s primetime with a whole host of new games coming out. Let’s not forget the legendary Commodore 64 which bought us Impossible Mission 1&2 (I am still addicted now!). And of course Summer and Winter Games (Beats Mario and Sonic by miles!). To keep up with Sega and commodore Nintendo revealed the N64 with Mario Kart 64 when we first saw the legendary MARIO KART!

The 3rd Generation of gaming was sloping in pushing out Master System for good leaving Mega Drive and NES nearly falling. We were introduced to the Sega Dreamcast (great for racing gamers) and of course THE GAMECUBE! And oh ye the PlayStation (Not too keen on that!). But now we are starting to lose that retro touch and bringing in special features and effects. IS THIS WHAT WE WANT!

Today when we are surrounded by a world of CONSOLES FOR WATCHING MOVIES and CAMERAS FOR PLAYING GAMES let us not forget a time of great simple games that addicted us. Why not get onto the wii shop channel virtual console section and I can guaranty you will find something you will love and get addicted too! I AM ADDICTED TO SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 1, MASTER SYSTEM! Not the best graphics but its great.

Thanks, enjoy RETRO WEEK
