<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2cover1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2183" title="gremlins2cover" src="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2cover1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="240" height="229" /></a>Hace ya más de veinte años que esas pequeñas criaturillas verdes entretuvieron a los niños y no tan niños de por aquel entonces. Una mezcla entre terror y comedia ácida que tuvo bastante éxito y repercusión por aquel entonces y convirtió a <strong>Gizmo </strong>en un auténtico icono popular que a día de hoy sigue presente en nuestras memorias. Las adaptaciones cinematográficas a los videojuegos no son cosa de ahora, y la secuela de los Gremlins tuvo su adaptación a muchas plataformas: <em>Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MSX, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, NES y Game boy</em>. Precisamente el lanzamiento en esta última, la mítica portátil de Nintendo, es el que tuve el placer de degustar en mi infancia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La memorable <strong>Sunsoft </strong>fue la encargada de las versiones para NES y Game Boy, dando lugar en ambos soportes un juego que tiraba a mediocre, pero que entre la falta de medios, críticos y demás historias, podía hacer pasar un buen rato a cualquier chaval que tuviera el bloque blanco de la compañía de Kyoto. <em>Gremlins 2: The New Batch</em> era un juego jodidamente difícil, y eso que solamente tenía cuatro fases. Vamos, un hueso duro de roer como los de antaño. Parte de esta dificultad radicaba en su jugabilidad. Se trataba mayoritariamente de un plataformas en el que podíamos atacar sólo si antes nos habíamos hecho con el item de un lápiz, si, habéis leído bien, nuestra arma era un lápiz. Lo jodido del tema era que tenías que acercarte bastante a los enemigos para derrotarlos con este método, lo cual dificultaba bastante la tarea frente a los enemigos de final de fase, bastante cabrones.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2184" title="Gremlins2a" src="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2a.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="253" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un método de destrucción masivo alternativo era cuando nos hacíamos con un item en forma de nota musical, que a diferencia del lápiz podía ser lanzado a distancia para acabar con los enemigos, pero sólo de un uso. Teníamos por tanto que ser hábiles para acabar con la fauna que nos esperaba. Lógicamente, los enemigos estaban directamente arrancados de la película, de esta manera podíamos ver algunos de los Gremlins que tuvieron su momento de gloria en el film. Desde las arañas hasta los travestis, pasando por los más borricos y el científico pirado. Toda una pandilla que nos daría bastante por saco a la hora de completar el juego.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2185" title="Gremlins2b" src="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2b.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="252" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Otro de los items era una caja en la cuál podíamos refugiar a Gizmo y avanzar destruyendo enemigos al tocarlos. Era de duración limitada y teníamos que hacer buen uso de ella. Si chocábamos contra algún obstáculo sus poderes se extinguían. La jugabilidad era sencilla, con un botón saltábamos y con el otro atacábamos. Gráficamente hablando destacaban las secuencias de la intro y las que aparecían al finalizar alguna fase y el juego. En el aspecto ingame la verdad es que hacía gala de un apartado técnico bastante discretito, aunque los bosses y algunos enemigos estaban bien definidos, creándose un contraste entre ellos y el resto de elementos del escenario, que pecaban de repetitivos y bastante cutrecillos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2c2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2191" title="gremlins2c" src="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2c2.png" alt="" width="300" height="270" /></a>Las cuatro fases apenas tenían una seña de identidad y la estética era muy parecida para todos los niveles. Gran cantidad de muelles para saltar y alcanzar plataformas superiores, bolas de pinchos, trampas y enemigos. Al finalizar cada nivel accedíamos a una base de bonus en la que Guizmo tenía que golpear un saco durante diez segundos, si consegíamos más de cien golpes conseguiríamos una vida extra. El apartado musical estaba realmente curioso y tenía algunos temas que fácilmente podían quedarse grabados en la cabeza.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2d.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2187" title="gremlins2d" src="http://hatedpig.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gremlins2d.png" alt="" width="325" height="293" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hablando en presente y con objetividad, el juego era un truño, pero encuadrado en la época en la que salío y con todo el carisma que se ganaron estas criaturillas, podía transformarse en un juego entretenido y que suponía un importante reto para el jugador si antes no llegaba a frustrarse. Si queréis un chute de nostalgia con la adaptación de una peli más que divertida deberíais probarlo. Recordad no jugarlo después de las doce de la noche y guardadlo en un lugar seguro, alejado de la luz solar y del agua.</p>

<p>Questa volta abbiamo voluto sperimentare un modo nuovo di fare podcasting. Per meglio venire incontro alle esigenze di internet, dei social network, per rendire più fruibile gli episodi senza farli troppo lunghi e per renderli ancora più &#8220;on demand&#8221;, abbiamo spearato l&#8217;episodio 2 in tanti mini-episodi che usciranno regolarmente durante le prossime settimane.</p>
<p>In questo primo mini-episdio abbiamo parlato di una band tedesca, davvero forte! Fanno musica con una chitarra, un Commodore 64 e la scheda audio di un Game-Boy; brani semplici, orecchiabili, molto ben prodotti&#8230; Ricordano il <em>krautrock </em>di gruppi più famosi come i Kraftwerk&#8230; Il gusto delle loro melodie è molto &#8220;vintage&#8221;, che riporta la mente a quelle bellissime musichette tipiche dei videogiochi degli anni &#8216;80 e &#8216;90.</p>
<p>Trovate maggiori informazioni sulla band in questi siti:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.gameboyonline.co.cc/">De momento, me he encontrado con Game Boy Online</a>, que es una página web que permite jugar a varios de los juegos más emblemáticos de <strong>Game Boy</strong> y<strong> Game Boy Color </strong>online, sin necesidad de instalar ningún emulador.</p>
<p>Para jugar tenemos que elegir un juego de la lista y pulsar el botón inferior “<em>Jugar</em>” (imprescindible tener <a href="http://www.java.com/es/download/">JAVA</a> instalado). Si queremos <strong>cargar / guardar partidas y compartirlas </strong>con los usuarios de la web es necesario registrarse, si solamente queremos echar una partida rápida no es necesario. Algunos de los juegos disponibles: varios Super Mario, varios Pokémon, Tetris, Legend of Zelda: Link’s awakening, Donkey Kong Land 2…</p>

<p>Osaka&#8217;s <a href="http://www.myspace.com/99letters">99 Letters </a>doesn&#8217;t quite make chiptune music &#8211; sure, his songs overflow with video game bloop-bleeps and nearly every promotional photo of him features an old-school Game Boy.  This stuffs on the same &#8220;loaded with Nintendo sounds but not defined by it&#8221; bender Crystal Castle downed en route to success.  99 Letters hits even harder &#8211; the Game Boy beats are blanketed by electro-fuzz, and check the black hole beat &#8220;BOOON!&#8221; that absolutely manhandles the song.  His latest work, currently called &#8220;NEW DEMO PREVIEW,&#8221; mixes what sounds like a distorted vocal sample into a clattering mess of electronics before powering up the Game Boy and letting loose.    </p>
<p>If you got nothing else to do on Sunday night (it&#8217;s a holiday the next day, so you don&#8217;t), check out 99 Letters and a slew of other artists at <a href="http://vijon.jp/club.html">Club Vijon </a>in Osaka.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ah, here were are again with another edition of Brentunes! I think it&#8217;s time we get right to the truth of the matter: I LOVE video games. I love them so much that I own some of their music on CD. Yeah &#8211; game soundtracks. Let&#8217;s roll.</p>
<p><strong>Final Fantasy VIII &#8211; The Extreme (Black Mages Ver.) [PS1]<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VJ_qeLLUkyw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VJ_qeLLUkyw&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>This is the one that instigated this particular post. I was looking up tour dates for Video Games Live, then YouTubing some of their past performances when I came across some live Black Mages stuff. Man, they rock it out. I own their first two CDs, so I hadn&#8217;t heard any other tracks of theirs. Until this one! I&#8217;m actually replaying FF VIII now, so it made this even better!</p>
<p><strong>Final Fantasy X &#8211; Via Purifico (Piano Ver.) [PS2]<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/0mdfoucjwnU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/0mdfoucjwnU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Okay, so technically this is NOT the original song, but from the FFX Piano Collection CD. It&#8217;s so beautiful! I listen to this track quite a bit at work to just generally keep calm around a bunch of idiots. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Final Fantasy Legend 2  &#8211; Save the World [Game Boy]<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/-XvEIV1ML-o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/-XvEIV1ML-o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Final boss music doesn&#8217;t &#8220;work&#8221; for me unless it has a certain feel. I can&#8217;t describe it any better than &#8220;no second chances, if we fail now everyone we know will die.&#8221; That particular emotional connect with me happens in the first 10 seconds of this track. It&#8217;s from a friggin&#8217; Game Boy, too! I mean, damn.</p>
<p><strong>Lost Odyssey &#8211; Dark Saint [Xbox 360]<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/bv6_bDfnHGc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/bv6_bDfnHGc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Dear Mistwalker &#8211; Please make another game that isn&#8217;t Blue Dragon-related. See how amazing Odyssey turned out? WANT MOAR!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s end on an emotional note. If you&#8217;ve never played MGS4, you may want to play the ENTIRE DAMN SERIES so it&#8217;ll make sense. This song is the culmination of 20 years of suspense and cliffhangers for me. Literally &#8211; 20 years. Metal Gear came out when I was wee lil&#8217; gamer.</p>
<p><strong>Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots &#8211; Love Theme [PS3]</strong></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/lGf2b1H91JA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/lGf2b1H91JA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>There&#8217;s got to be a word for this punch-in-the-gut feeling this song gives me. It&#8217;s sad, but on a level I can&#8217;t really describe. This might be &#8211; and probably is &#8211; because I&#8217;m directly connecting it with the moment in the game where the song is played (arguably one of the greatest gaming moments ever). This track makes me think &#8220;we&#8217;re going to fail, things are going to get bad for those left behind, now they&#8217;re on their own.&#8221; It&#8217;s strange how I can&#8217;t connect music to emotions &#8211; I have to connect them to fictional events that I make in my head. Perhaps that&#8217;s due to how emotionally and structurally complex music can be. It can&#8217;t be easily simplified.</p>
<p>I just realized that Nobuo Uematsu was three of my choices. Must be good, right?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Format: </strong>Game Boy <strong>Genre: </strong>Puzzle <strong>Released: </strong>1990 <strong>Developer: </strong>Nintendo/Bullet Proof Software</p>
<p>This was the game that started my gaming habit. I may have dabbled with gaming before this, but in 1990, at the tender age of 11, video games finally smothered me with their all-suffocating love. No more Airfix kits for birthdays please mummy, give me Nintendo.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-708" title="Tetris Game Boy Box" src="http://101videogames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tetris_boxshot.jpg" alt="Tetris Game Boy Box" width="320" height="322" /></p>
<p>Picture the scene: Christmas morning, 1990. Having been whipped into a frenzy of excitement by Nintendo&#8217;s relentless primetime TV ads, my sister and I had asked for a Game Boy for Christmas &#8211; and because it was such an expensive present, we&#8217;d agreed to share it between us. But wait, what&#8217;s this? TWO presents under the tree? Could it be&#8230;? YES! Our wonderful parents had given us a Game Boy EACH! AND an extra game each too! (Duck Tales and SuperMarioLand if you&#8217;re curious). Even now the recollection brings a smile to my face, and opening that present still ranks as one of my fondest childhood memories &#8211; who says kids can&#8217;t be bought?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-709" title="Tetris Game Boy Screenshot 1" src="http://101videogames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tetris.jpg" alt="Tetris Game Boy Screenshot 1" width="350" height="314" /></p>
<p>A joyous Christmas morning followed as my sister and I got down to the serious business of two-player Tetris while mum and dad cooked the turkey. Happy days! The only sadness arose when mum tried to get us to stop playing and eat our lunch. Alas, had she known that her children would be turned into gaming zombies, perhaps she would have bought us something else for Christmas instead. Possibly Meccano. Actually, were they even making Meccano in 1990? Come to think of it, what do kids get for Christmas nowadays if not computer games? iTunes vouchers?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-710" title="Tetris Game Boy Screenshot 2" src="http://101videogames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gfs_38759_2_1.jpg" alt="Tetris Game Boy Screenshot 2" width="350" height="316" /></p>
<p>But I digress. Having dipped my toe in the gaming waters, I proceeded to dive headlong into the hallowed pool, and for months afterwards I could be found with my head buried in various gaming magazines, excitedly plotting which games to save up for with my £1 a week pocket money. To be honest, I grew bored with Tetris fairly quickly (I can almost hear the sharp intakes of breath from the readers &#8211; sacrilege!), but I think it deserves honouring as the game that really kick-started my fascination with games, as well as my long-held playground allegiance to Nintendo.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-711" title="Original Game Boy with Tetris" src="http://101videogames.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gbart_gb-w-tetris.jpg" alt="Original Game Boy with Tetris" width="400" height="299" /></p>
<p>Before I finish though, I have to mention the fantastic music. Of course, everyone remembers the main Tetris theme, but the other two tunes in the game were pretty damn good as well (if not better). I&#8217;ve included YouTube links to all three tunes below so you can judge for yourself &#8211; I think they&#8217;re some of the best (if not <em>the</em> best) 8-bit music out there. Can anyone think of any better 8-bit soundtracks? The only music I can think of that comes close is the soundtrack to Super Mario Bros. 3&#8230;</p>

<p>Coming in as only the second video game inductee (Atari being the first), the Nintendo Game Boy joins into the U.S. National Toy Hall of Fame with 44 other toys.  I think the Game Boy (including the GB color and all its other incarnations) are well deserving of this award as it pretty much launched the second most successful game franchise of all time, Pokemon.  I still have my grape Game Boy Color along with the link cable that was necessary to trade Pokemon between consoles.  Yeah that&#8217;s right youngins, we didn&#8217;t have wi-fi.  I <em>should</em> still have my original Game Boy at home somewhere, but I haven&#8217;t seen it in a couple of years.</p>
<p>And I thought it&#8217;d be neat to list some of the anime series that have had games in the Game Boy franchise (and no, the DS isn&#8217;t part of the Game Boy family):</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Demos pues, comienzo a este tutorial:</p>
<p>Lo primero que debemos hacer es descargar el archivo que hay al final del post con los archivos de la última versión del R4, una vez descargado, lo descomprimimos y tendremos entonces, una carpeta llamada &#8220;English&#8221; dentro de ella se encontrarán varios archivos, listados a continuación:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76" title="R4DS" src="http://zaknet.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/r4ds3.jpg" alt="R4DS" width="450" height="310" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>-Una carpeta llamada &#8220;moonshl&#8221;</p>
<p>-Otra carpeta llamada &#8220;_system_&#8221;</p>
<p>-Un archivo _DS_MSHL.NDS</p>
<p>-Otro archivo _DS_MENU.DAT</p>
<p>Tan fácil como copiar y pegar estos archivos en la raíz de la tarjeta micro sd que estemos usando con el R4, recomiendo por seguridad hacer copias de seguridad de los saves de los juegos, no queremos tener ningún disgusto :{D.</p>
<p>Sin más, me despido, si tenéis alguna duda para eso están los comentarios.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It was twenty years ago, in 1989, that Nintendo introduce the world to the Game Boy.  This piece of equipment, with its white plastic exterior surrounding a monochromatic pixellated screen and five buttons, was the first hand-held device dedicated exclusively to video games.  It had a slot behind the screen to house Game Boy Pak cartridges for play.  It required four AA batteries (around this time, there were special batteries called Ni-Cad batteries that can be recharged, a blessing for the Game Boy).  It was bulky due to the technology used at the time; one could easily use it as a paperweight.  The Game Boy was packaged with several items:  generic batteries, a power cord, a cable link to allow for multiple players, and a Game Boy Pak titled &#8220;Tetris&#8221;.</p>
<p>Why all this nostalgia for this bulky piece of equipment?</p>
<p>The Strong National Museum of Play, located in Rochester, New York, has inducted Nintendo&#8217;s Game Boy into its National Toy Hall of Fame.  The Game Boy joined other notable toys, including the Slinky, the yo-yo, the skateboard, and the cardboard box (I do not joke; <a title="The Cardboard Box" href="http://www.museumofplay.org/nthof/toys/index.php?toy=cardboard_box" target="_blank">see for yourself</a>).</p>
<p>Quoting directly from <a href="http://www.museumofplay.org/nthof/toys/index.php?toy=nintendo_game_boy" target="_blank">their website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Following the enormous success of their NES home console, Nintendo launched Game Boy in 1989 and the system  became an instant hit. The secret to Game Boy’s success was not driven by advanced graphics or processing power,  but rather by simple and efficient design, head-to-head connectivity, and scores of intriguing games. Game Boy’s  Game Link cable allowed simultaneous multiplayer gaming—a first for a portable system. The classic puzzle game  <em>Tetris </em>came bundled with Game Boy and it appealed to a diverse audience, ranging from children to grandparents.  Additional launch titles included <em>Super Mario Land</em>, which featured Nintendo’s already-iconic character Mario.  The hit titles kept coming as the system evolved.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I was one of many children who owned the original Game Boy.  I remembered being awed by its design and its interface.  The shape made it easy to grasp and comfortable to hold for hours.  The controls were simple and responsive.  The screen, though tiny and using only one shade of color, was a sight to behold.  The games were wonderful to play.</p>
<p>What did make it unique among other toys at the time was its ability to connect with another Game Boy for competitive play (later, there were a few games that made it possible for up to four players to connect at once using a special connector device).  I didn&#8217;t have to hand off my system to another player.  Also, the game was in real-time, so everything that happened on my screen also happened on the other player&#8217;s screen.  Because of this, high school recesses and lunch breaks were good times to play against another person.</p>
<p>As I got older, so did the Game Boy.  First it added color, making the games more appealing to the eyes.  Later revisions called for more portability, in the form of a clam-shell design.  Then its shape become longer for a more comfortable grip and added to more buttons to increase the complexity of its games.  Now, the current Game Boy, the Nintendo DS, has two screens, uses a touch interface for the bottom screen, and has internet connectivity.  I own a Nintendo DS Lite, enjoying games like Final Fantasy III and My Japanese Coach.</p>
<p>I am happy for the Game Boy&#8217;s induction.  Despite other hand-held systems like Sony&#8217;s PSP and both of Apple&#8217;s iPod touch and iPhone, the Game Boy is still a great system for all ages.  It may not make phone calls or play movies, but anyone can play a game on it without any complications.</p>
<p>Note:  I should mention that the Game Boy is the second video game device that was inducted into the Hall of Fame; the first video game device was the <a title="Atari 2600 Game System" href="http://www.museumofplay.org/nthof/toys/index.php?toy=atari_2600" target="_blank">Atari 2600 Game System</a>; check out the dated commercial for one of its games.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Se dice que no hay mejor premio que este que obtuvo Nintendo. Su primera consola portátil, <strong>Game Boy</strong>, llego a lo más alto como un juguete. En el transcurso de este año obtuvo su puesto en el <em>Hall de la Fama del Juguete</em>, del museo Nacional del Juego en la ciudad de Rochester, Nueva York.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1374" title="gb" src="http://animextremworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gb.jpg" alt="gb" width="336" height="298" /></p>
<p>Game Boy consiguió su puesto compitiendo contra otros grandes clásicos como los aviones de papel, juegos de té, <strong>Hot Wheels</strong>, juegos de cartas y los incombustibles <strong>Transformers</strong>. Los que pudimos disfrutar horas de diversión con esta consola nos podremos sentir orgullosos ahora que se encuentra en este salón y cada vez que salga a la plática mitos de otras décadas ya que ahora e una leyenda del entretenimiento.</p>
<p>Los más seguro es que su sucesor, el <strong>Nintendo DS</strong>, también valla a estar muy pronto o en algunos años en este salón ya que Nintendo se ha hecho muy fuerte con él en esto de las portátiles.</p>

<p>Nintendo’s classic Game Boy has been inducted into the <a title="National Toy Hall of Fame" href="http://www.museumofplay.org/nthof/index.php" target="_blank">National Toy Hall of Fame</a>, joining such venerable playthings as the cardboard box, the stick and co-inductee upstart, the ball. The hall of fame is housed at Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, featuring 41 iconic and influential toys. The only previous video-game honoree was the Atari 2600, so the Game Boy’s inclusion has been a long time coming.</p>
<p>Here’s why it was selected for the honor, according to the announcement: “Admitted into the hall because of its role as a major industry innovator, Nintendo Game Boy transformed the electronic-games market by popularizing handheld gaming. No video-game platform did more to put gamers ―on the go‖ than this invention. And go they did—bringing their gaming experience to school, to summer camp, and to the back seat of the family automobile. Over the past two decades, Game Boy has become synonymous with hand-held gaming fun. Its portability and efficient design, ability to allow simultaneous multiplayer gaming, and scores of intriguing games (like Tetris and Super Mario Land, featuring Nintendo’s already-iconic character Mario) make it a true innovator.”</p>
<p>Congratulations, Nintendo. It&#8217;s about time someone noticed you guys.</p>

And go they did—bringing their gaming experience to school, to summer camp, and to the back seat of the family automobile.

<p>The Game Boy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame this year and it&#8217;s well deserved.  I can remember the days of the Game Boy.  It&#8217;s hard to argue that the Game Boy was the system that really set gaming free from the television and without it there&#8217;s not really any knowing where the portable gaming industry would be right now.  The Game Boy holds a special place in many people my age&#8217;s heart.  For some it might have been their first foray into the world of video games, for others it was just great to be able to take some of your favorite games on the go with you. </p>
<p>Do any of you have fond memories of the Game Boy?  If so leave us a comment and let us know what you have to say.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Os videogames, assim como os carros, têm sua cor oficial, a cor que melhor orna, mas todo mundo quer ser diferente e, portanto, as empresas disponibilizam depois de venderem milhões de unidades, versões coloridas, que com isso aumentam ainda mais as vendas. Tudo começou com a Nintendo, o primeiro console que lançou uma edição especial dourada do Nes:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97" title="nes 1-2" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/nes-1-2.jpg" alt="NES GOLD" width="499" height="185" /></p>
<p>NES – <em>Nintendo Entertainment System</em></p>
<p>Em edição especial foi lançado uma edição comemorativa, com um console dourado. Foi lançado em comemoração ao clássico jogo Zelda. Quem tinha um desses era mais que invejado. Era mais invejado que o garoto dono da bola.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98" title="SNES BLACK" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/snp31.jpg" alt="snes preto" width="500" height="402" /></p>
<p>SNES – Super <em>Nintendo Entertainment System</em></p>
<p>O super Nintendo também não seria diferente. A versão clássica é o cinza que com o tempo se torna bege, com os detalhes em roxo. Foi lançada uma versão preta com o roxo característico. Não foi lançado no Brasil infelizmente. A sua concorrente sega, na época tinha o mega drive, que sempre teve a cor preta, e nenhuma edição especial. (por isso não gosto do mega drive.)</p>
<p>SNES 2</p>
<p>Um ano antes do lançamento do Nintendo 64, a Nintendo lançou um novo modelo de SNES, seria uma versão com design moderno, sem reset. Não colou, mas lembrava bastante o super famicom (super Nintendo do Japão, que usava a mesma tecnologia, porém as fitas eram feitas em formato diferente só para não dar para usar um no outro). Não encontre imagem dele&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-99" title="64 gold" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/8241a2c008a031afef3a8010_l.jpg" alt="Nintendo 64 Gold" width="432" height="360" /></p>
<p>Nintendo 64</p>
<p>O Nintendo 64 teve uma versão dourada também, alem das outras cores verde vermelho e amarelo. O preto era a cor universal. Foi lançado junto com o SNES 2 a edição comemorativa dourada, em comemoração a copa da época, vinha junto com um jogo de futebol na edição brasileira.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100" title="game boy color" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/game-boy-color.jpg" alt="Game Boy Multicor" width="500" height="269" /></p>
<p>Game Boy</p>
<p>O game boy apresentava diversas versões, o primeiro o tijolão e foi diminuindo. O console portátil, disponibilizou diversas edições especiais, em geral pareado com um dos principais jogos do portátil, o Pokemon, saia um Pokémon novo, saia um game boy novo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102" title="cubes" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cubes.jpg" alt="game cube B&#38;P" width="320" height="189" /></p>
<p>Game Cube</p>
<p>O game cube também não poderia ser diferente. Sua cor oficial era o azul, mas foram lançados os modelos brancos, preto, prata e é claro, gold.</p>
<p><img title="cristal ds" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cristal-ds.jpg" alt="Cravejado em Cristais." width="450" height="600" /></p>
<p>Nintendo DS.</p>
<p>O segundo portátil da Nintendo também não foi muito diferente, saíram diversas versões especiais até umas de luxo cravejado em cristais. Praticamente uma jóia. Estes modelos contam com personagens tematicos da Nintendo. Não precisa dizer que o preço é mais-alto-que-se-imaginava-que-fosse, mas quem não quer um deste?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-104" title="wiis" src="http://keytikun.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wiis.jpg" alt="Shiro X Kuro Wii" width="500" height="214" /></p>
<p>Wii</p>
<p>Por fim o ultimo console da geração Nintendo apresenta controles wiimotes de diversas cores, mas o branco é a oficial, já o console apresenta tão somente o modelo preto, que é vendido exclusivamente no Japão, não há modelo preto vendendo no ocidente. Os japoneses tem mania de fazer isto, se não bastassem os Skylines&#8230;</p>
