Mother | Queen Mary’s Song
Take a melody,
Simple as can be
Give it some words and
Sweet harmony
Raise your voices,
All day long now,
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love
Oh, love

The Legend of Zelda, starring Princess Zelda
Shin Zelda Densetsu is an old homebrew project, released back in 2004 by Aesirraven and Lord Steak, but the ROM hack suffered a game-breaking bug in one of its dungeons. Chris Miller has just released a patch that should finally fix the issue and allow people to complete the game now!
It’s a complete overhaul of the original Zelda game, and from what I hear it’s quite good. Miller summarizes the changes:
“In a novel twist, the player must guide Princess Zelda on a quest to rescue Link from the forces of evil. The overworld is completely revamped, with few if any recognizable landmarks or routes from the original game. It is superbly designed, and won’t bore the player. The same goes for the dungeons. Instead of numbered levels, the dungeons are identified by symbols of the zodiac.”
I love that the list of classic games hacked to offer playable female protagonists is growing.

[Via 1UP, Little Pemo]Castlevania and Cagliostro are both fantastic, but could these likenesses purely be coincidence? What do you think?
Probably coincidental, but still cool.
Reblogging again, cuz I feel like it.

Inspired by Monster Party, one of my all-time favorite games for the NES. A bunch of you requested it too, which made me happy. Such a good game.

I’m not even that interested in the 3DS right now (and I’m trying to cut down on my videogame playing besides) and I still kinda want this.

Guardic Gaiden VS. The Guardian Legend VS. The Guardian Legend, 1988/89/90
Man, the US art is well done and all, but I kind of wish it was an image of the protagonist like the other two. She looks SO COOL!
Cowabunga, that Japanese cover is good. I’ll share a bit of trivia for the US cover in the next post.

Kirby is done! And this design is special - I finally added the Japanese calligraphy. Eventually, each design will get a name plate and a little poem couplet in kanji. For Kirby, the two characters are “vapor” and “Buddha”, and read “Kabi”. And the couplet says “Warrior of heaven, guardian of dreams.” The calligraphy is done by my medieval Japanese literature professor. Prints go on sale Aug 1. To put your name on the preorder list, please email me at thejedhenry (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hitoshi Ariga is the best Mega Man artist who ever Mega’d a Man.
Edit: The best part is that Ariga included the Wily Tower Robot Masters as well. Now that’s some mad detail.
