Kanto Symphony gives Pokemon tunes much needed OOMPH

On Christmas of 2009, theZelda Reorchestratedteamfinally releasedits grand rearrangement of the entireOcarina of Timesoundtrack, which used high-end sample libraries to make the music sound like a live symphonic performance. In fact, I’m legitimately disappointed I can’t swap out thesoundtrack forOcarina of Time 3D, which wasintentionally remadeto sound nearly identical to that of the N64 original, with the ZREO album. So very disappointed. That same December, young composer Braxton “Skotein” Burks decided that, dammit, the music to thePokémonseries demanded the same quality, orchestrated treatment....

On the cusp of Nintendo’s uncertain future, I played video games in the desert with John Cena

Let’s go Cena It’s about 9:30 AM on a Thursday, it’s an unheard-of-for-Los-Angeles 55 degrees out made worse by intense winds, and I’m ready to see the Nintendo Switch for the second time, days before the console launches. The Switch is ostensibly the reason for my visit, but everyone knows that’s only a formality. I don’t know that I need to see thatZeldaE3 demo for a record-breaking third time. But if I’m not here for video games, why would I trust people that I’ve never met to drop me in the middle of nowhere?...

Sega to bring more import hotness to Wii-owning wide-eyed devils

In a move that we couldonly hopebrings more cries of “best week EVER” fromRetroforce GO‘s very own Chad Concelmo, Sega haspromised to delivermore import Genesis titles to the Wii’s Virtual Console. Following in the footsteps ofAlien Soldier‘s release, we’ve been promised “a number” of fellow import goodies, though we’ll have to wait and see which ones.

Check your pockets, Take Two looking to sell, sell, sell!
