Hidden Gems: Shatterhand [NES]
 |
| Brought to you by the makers of Harvest Moon |
Hello! and welcome to the first installment in what I hope will be a continuing series where I share some of the forgotten games of yesteryear that deserve more attention. Whether it’s for introducing an important technical or gameplay innovation, or just for that indefinable quality of “fun,” these are games that you might have missed but definitely don’t want to.

Out in the Cold (Or: Why I Feel Like Microsoft Doesn't Market to Me Anymore)
As I sat and watched Microsoft unveiling the Xbox One, I was suddenly overcome with the feeling of being deflated. Up to that moment I’d literally counted down the seconds leading up to the big reveal, but when it hit I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was a bit... off? Afterward, I did a bit of soul searching to try and figure out what had gone wrong. Was the fault with Microsoft? Was it with me? Or was it with the industry as a whole? Am I simply getting too old or jaded to truly feel excited by the release of a new console? (Hint: It probably isn’t the last one. I hope) Follow me as I break down a few things that stood out to me at this press conference, and please, I’d love to know your opinions on the matter, Reader.
