Retro Game Challenge
by Rory
If you own or have access to a Nintendo DS I recommend that you check out Retro Game Challenge. The game came out earlier this year in the US and it has been one of my favorite titles of 2009. Retro Game Challenge is a collection of fake NES-style games and each one has its own set of challenges and goals. There are some platformers, a couple of shooters, a racing game, and even an RPG.
Throughout the game you can unlock additional features like new games and magazines. The magazines are well written and very reminiscent of 80s and 90s EGM and GamePro. They contain tips and codes for the games you are playing and sometimes you will need that information to complete the challenges.
Retro Game Challenge can be found in most stores for $20. At time of writing, Amazon.com is selling it for $18.49.
