Its awesome to catch up on the news from yesteryear, heres another:
This week we take a look back at the remaster of Club Nintendo Volume 1, Issue 4.
While the magazine might be tiny and weighs in at only 20 pages total, it sure holds a lot of nostalgia for the people who used to get it in their mailbox straight from Nintendo back in 1989. Since it's such a small issue we only have two preview articles up on the site. The first one being Section Z by Capcom and the second one is Ikari Warriors by SNK. Both games are for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Fans of the Nintendo 64 will love this delve back into the past, heres more details:
This week we return with issue 8 of the N64 Magazine, which was released in November of 1997. This was an issue with severe quality problems while scanning, due to the state of the magazine. But with great care, all of these issues have been taken care of and with the new settings, the magazine is now looking better than ever.
We begin with a look at the arcade racer San Francisco Rush. Then we take a peek at the Japanese version of Bomberman 64. From here we go to the review for the cover story: Lylat Wars / Starfox 64. And finally we have a double header with Multi Championship Racing vs Top Gear Rally.

Another Snes magazine from the heyday, heres more details:
This week we step back into the cold winter month of November 1993 with the brand new release of Super Play issue 13. For being the holiday season it was a somewhat slow month when it comes to big names releases. Yet this doesn't mean that this month had nothing to look forward to.
We start by looking at Jurassic Park by Ocean. Afterwards it's all about the B-list platform heroes of yesteryear. Starting with Aero the Acrobat by Sunsoft. Then moving on to another Ocean game: Mr Nutz. And finally we look at one of the weirder platforming heroes of the 16-bit era: Super Putty by System 3.

Fans of the Virtual Boy will be glad to know of the work which has been done to make Mario Tennis playable by multiplayer once more:
Like numerous other Virtual Boy titles, Mario's Tennis was going to support the GameLink Cable to offer multiplayer modes, a fact that was even mentioned in an early In-Store promotional video. After the GameLink Cable got cancelled, naturally none of the commercially released games contained any type of simultaneous multiplayer mode.
It was long believed that Mario's Tennis did not even contain any leftover multiplayer code - until M.K. went to great lengths to find and restore exactly that! He just released a patch that restores 2 of 3 game modes (P1 vs P2 and P1/COM vs P2/COM) to a fully working state. The third mode (P1/P2 vs COM/COM) is buggy and won't be fixed until any Virtual Boy emulator implements full link cable emulation to shorten debugging and testing times to a healthy amount. While Reality Boy does offer network-based link cable emulation, it lacks support for the respective interrupts, which Mario's Tennis' multiplayer modes depend on.
Check out the release thread for a brief summary of the discovery and restoration process as well as the patch download.
If you're eager to play some Mario's Tennis multiplayer now and got a friend with another Virtual Boy and flash cart nearby, you might be interested in Kevin Mellot's fantastic homemade link cable

Nintendo Game rom hacks are all the rage and heres another for you to digest:
Void’s Blitzarre Adventure, a completed Fire Emblem romhack. While discussing the ins and outs of hacking, some members of Fire Emblem Universe, a Fire Emblem romhacking site, had the idea of attempting to complete a full, 30-chapter romhack in one single week. After the week had passed, the hack was completed. After a few more days of polishing after the week, the hack is now in a presentable state.
Some of the hackers had made ASM modifications beforehand and took this opportunity to implement them in a finished product. As a result, this hack has some significant quality of life improvements, such as being able to press Select to view enemy range on the map and viewing unit growth rates on the status screen, and being allowed to see combat stats when the animations are disabled. Most notably, the hack has added skills, similar to the 3DS Fire Emblem games, into the Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem engine.

Over at romhacking comes news of an update to the Pokémon red and blue game hack:
The aptly-named Pokemon Red/Blue Color Hack gives you what it says on the tin: fully colorized versions of Pokemon Red and Blue.
Some may be aware that, in fact, Pokemon Red and Blue did have some color when played on a Super Gameboy. However, the Super Gameboy’s colorization capability was extremely limited, being unable to assign separate colors to the background and sprite layers, among other limitations. This hack, targeting the Gameboy Color, does not have these limitations. As you can see in the screenshots, this colorization is akin to the gen 2 games.
This hack also optionally replaces the pokemon sprites with gen 2 equivalents, since some of the gen 1 spritework was… questionable. The battle UI has also been ported from the gen 2 games. However, the patch is available in a “vanilla” variant for those who prefer the original spritework and battle UI.
Previous versions of this hack were plagued by graphical corruption bugs. After much headbanging and many headaches, these bugs have been fixed. It has been tested extensively on a real gameboy, and the bugs have not resurfaced. However, it must be noted that the VBA emulator has issues with this hack. VBA-M works, though, as do the more accurate emulators such as BGB.

Mr Reaper has released a new version of his Visual Controller Test for the Nintendo Wii, heres the release details:
If you like pressing buttons, then this app is for you!!!
I have a flaky Gamecube controller and I wanted an easy way to test it. I didn't really like the other Gamecube controller testing homebrew I found, because it was all text-based, so I decided to make my own.
I haven't messed with making Wii Homebrew in such a long time, but I threw this Visual Controller Test together in a day.
But then I was in a coding mood, so I added in every other peripheral I own.
Maybe others will also find this useful.
More Info here http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Visual_Controller_Test

Another item of Virtual Boy News:
In the nineties, Canadian company VidPro made game retail displays that were used at a number of retailers, most notably Toys'R'Us. The system was simple: instead of the actual game boxes, VidPro displays had cards showing the boxart for every title the store sold, which the customer could browse. If they wanted to make a purchase, they grabbed a slip of paper and brought it up to the cashier to receive the actual game.
Due to VidPro cards being produced prior to a game's retail release, there were also cards made for unreleased games in rare occasions. It has been known for a long time that a card exists for the unreleased Dragon Hopper, and we have even had super-low res scans which were found in 2002 on half.com.
Now the elusive gem has finally been found by vuefinder83! Enjoy high-res scans of the VidPro cards for Dragon Hopper and a few other Virtual Boy games, including early versions, here.

For fans and owners of the Virtual Boy Games System, theres a new release for developers:
Here is the brand new version 1.2.0 of VBDE, your full fledged Nintendo Virtual Boy development environment for Windows!
[h=3]New compiler[/h]
For this version, gcc has been updated to 4.7 with amazing new patches by ElmerPCFX for wider compatabilty (e.g. frame pointers and prolog functions are now supported), better code optimization and much lower compile times.
Thanks a bunch Elmer! Also thank you to Jorgeche for helping with getting it up and running in VBDE!
[h=3]Pro updates[/h]
For the Pro Version, IDEA has been updated to the latest version, 2106.3.5. Furthermore, the C/C++ plugin has been removed since it was causing slow-downs and broke auto-completion.
[h=3]Tiled support[/h]
A script has been added for converting Tiled maps to VUEngine stages. It not only builds Stage definitions from Tiled maps, but also allows to mark certain object or tile layers as "Composites", which get combined into single images and converted on the fly.
Most Stages of the VUEngine demos have been converted to Tiled maps and can be converted with the script, but in its current form, it's not very robust against misconfiguration and more of a hacked together proof of concept. I hope to find the time to refactor this into a clean and highly extensible class structure for a future VBDE release.
[h=3]New major VUEngine version[/h]
The VBJaEngine has been renamed to "VUEngine" and updated to version 5.0, which has seen tons of optimizations and bug fixes, new features as well as new, Doxygen-based documentation.
The VUEngine Barebone and Platformer Demo have also been massively updated. Check out the updated VUEngine Platformer Demo version, it now runs flawlessly on hardware and has improved graphics and animations, new level elements, new menus and an overhauled save feature!
In the following folder you'll find the latest compiled and padded binaries, constantly fed by our new, automated release process.
[h=3]Repositories[/h]
Keep in mind that you can stay up to date, independent of releases, by grabbing VBDE and the VUEngine directly from their Git repositories at Bitbucket.
So, instead of using the download links on top of this post, you can alternatively just clone VBDE's Git repo with your Bitbucket account, which would also enable you to easily update to future versions through a simple git pull.
git clone --recursive
https://[your-bitbucket-username]@bitbucket.org/KR155E/vbde.git

One of my favourite games of all time Super Mario Bros 3 has seen a new rom hack recently and heres the fixed version of that hack, heres more details:
Super Mario Bros. 3: The Forgotten Worlds is now 100% tested and fixed. As a bonus, a poster has been attached, where you can read the fully worked out and improved plot.
As for those, who has downloaded and played this game, once again, sorry for having 4 worlds in the game. The SMB2J clone hack patch allowed only 4 worlds regularly and the idea/plan was 4 worlds originally, too.

Monster Party Famicom has been translated to English which is great news for fans of the classic Nes game:
After countless hours of work, we present to everyone our completed translation of the Japanese prototype ROM, Monster Party. Shortly after the prototype ROM was released to the public, Pennywise began efforts to translate the game with Ryusui’s help. In a short amount of time all of the text had been translated/localized, but the project was not yet considered complete.
Being an unfinished prototype, the goal was to add all the positive changes and “finish” the game. Due to a lack of time on Pennywise’s part, that effectively killed the project until rainponcho came along and agreed to do all the necessary work to hack the game into a finished state. Please do keep in mind, that there will be at least one more update to the translation with the completed totem pole boss when time permits. Who knows when that’ll be though.
So enjoy this lost relic of time for now!
