[Famicompendium] Cave Noire

Posted on 11 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in Famicompendium, Features, GBA | 4 Comments

Okay, so I know that I teased that I’d be writing about a different game in the last column (which was posted five months ago, holy crap) but there’s a reason for that. Turns out that a game that’s essentially “Style Savvy but also a dating sim” isn’t all that unique when Nintendo ended up adding boyfriends to Style Savvy anyway. So instead I chose to write about one of my favourite Game Boy titles in celebration of the handheld’s 25th anniversary (which was three months ago, holy crap). Yep, that chunky handheld sure gave us plenty of timeless experiences like Link’s Awakening, Mole Mania, and Revenge of the Gator’s title screen, but today I want to focus on a lesser-known classic for Nintendo’s monochromatic machine, an early Japanese dungeon crawler called Cave Noire published by Konami way back in 1991.

Nintendo pulls the plug on iPhone Game Boy emulator

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments

The “GBA4iOS” app for iPhone allowed users to play Game Boy and Boy Boy Advance titles on their devices with little trouble. In fact, absolutely no jailbreaking was involved to get the thing working.

The emulator was available for several months, but has finally been taken down following a DMCA notice sent out by Nintendo.

On Twitter, the app’s creator wrote:

Well it's official, @NintendoAmerica has sent a DMCA Notice requesting http://t.co/2egsx0sRNS to be shut down.
