Due to a Parodius Network co-location move last night, NESWORLD has suffered from a bit of downtime, but as you can see we're now back online... 

Finally a bit of news, once again for the N64 fans out there. I've compiled a list of N64 demo carts available and I've scanned those available to me at the moment. If you have one of those that doesn't yet have a cartridge scan, then please contribute if you can.

Anyway click here ( http://nw.64scener.com/n64demos.php ) to check out the new page.

NES homebrew sure is blooming these years, GREAT!!, and now there's yet another game in development, being a NES version of Chip's Challenge.

Development is far enough along to be able to show it to the public and the programmer, Jaffe, has provided two test builds from the game.

After a lot of searching on old backup CDs I managed to find a piece of NES homebrew history today. Back in 1998 Demo and EFX, from Neotoxin fame, wanted to make an RPG for the NES called Time Conquest.

Unfortunately the game never got anywhere to be honest, but before the idea was scrapped I got to see a few very early demos.

These demos are now available from the homebrew section, look for Time Conquest in the unfinished games section.

Team Neo was kind enough to supply me with a sample of their latest product, the Nintendo64 flash cart called Neo Myth 64. I decided to post the review over at 64scener site, being the old N64 scene site it is :-)

As this will be the final news post in 2009 I'd like to take the oppportunity to thank each and everyone of you for visiting the site, it's a great boost of support to see that there are hits on the site daily and it encourages me to continue working on new stuff for it.

2010 will bring a lot of changes for me personally though, I'm becoming a dad for the first time and where that put the site I'm not sure, other than further down the list of important things. I will however try to have infrequent updates like now, and hopefully a little more often.

Anyway I wish you all a happy new year and the best.

Peace and out :-)

Yesterday I received my preordered copy of a new NES Music Cartridge called "Teletime". The music is done by Joey Mariano and the NES code is by No-Carrier.

According to Joey Mariano no more than 50 of these carts would be made, and as it's still available from his webshop, so I believe it's still possible to buy a copy if you wish, the price is $30 + shipping ($5).

I've meant to post this video for a few days but didn't get around to do it until now. Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril has now been completed, the label art is done and a final trailer for the January 2010 release is now also available.

A bit of info for those who knows nothing about this cool release; The game will be released on a NES compatible cartridge, for play in any region on a Nintendo Entertainment System Deck. The cartridge will be sold by RetroZone and I'm guessing at a price around $30-40, but it's pure guessing. 

If you'd like to check out the game before buying, I suggest downloading the demo from NESWORLD's homebrew section, or by using the direct rom link here.

The N64 release list has once again received an update, although only the actual listing this time around but the number of releases on the list is now no less than 996(!) so next time it'll break 1K, nice! :-)

Anyway to check out the list, click here. 

The N64 lidt project is going steady with more and more game details being added and the list has now grown to 924 worldwide releases with only a handful of unconfirmed ones, and there are still games to be discovered I'm sure :-)
