Not really worth mentioning, but I'm doing it anyway. I've archived some of the news on this page (March, April, May, June) and moved them to... yes.... the news archive.

... Remember Retro Theftendo?....

Well it looks like I at some point have managed to replace the PHP file used for the NES unreleased games section with one that definately wasn't the right one, the result being that roughly half of the page wasn't visible....

Anyway it has now been fixed :-)

http://www.nesworld.com/unreleased.php

Another update of the N64 game index. All "game specific" sub pages are now created, a total of 1000 sofar.

With that said, there's still a lot of info to add to those pages, but at least they're available now :-)

Oh yeah I forgot to add this box nightmare, but here it is...

Another day, another news update! This time around I've made a small page about a GBA pirate unit I bought a few months back and it's not bad at all... but I'm sure Nintendo doesn't like the 498 roms it includes.

Finally we europeans step up to the plate and release something for the NES. Kreese, Wiklund and Zabutom have released a compilation cart, like VegaVox and such, based on No-Carrier's VegaPlay source.

Sofar only 7 carts exists and while 32 carts are planned, the final number might be as little as 16-20 carts, based on time and demand. Don't bother trying to get one of the 7 carts already made, they're already gone.

An awesome release and hopefully the rom will be available to the masses once the carts are sold out? :-)

Well to expand the websites horizon a little, I've added the first Gamecube page today, covering the NR Reader used by developers.

I used to have pictures back in the day of something called a Famicom Studybox, but no one really knew anything about it, including the owner of the studybox back then.

Well a few years ago I managed to get my own Famicom Studybox but never really go around to make a proper page about it.. until now and here's my attempt.

Not too long ago Sivak announced the sequel to Battle Kid and here's the first footage from the upcoming game.

Well I've once again taken a head dive into the old NESWORLD archives to resurrect some of the
long lost articles and pictures. Here's what has returned to the site this time around.

Data East - Another old video game publisher bites the dust (dataeast.php)

Please note that none of the added content have had its text or pictures updated with new ones, this may happen
at a future point in time, but right now the mission is to bring back what has been lost for years.

Well it looks like there's yet another NES game in the works, Assimilate by Nessylum Games.

Here's the developers details about the game..

Assimilate is an easy to grasp 2D sidescrolling action game for the NES. You control a UFO that moves from city to city assimilating their local populations.

In each city, your radar points you in the general direction of the next weak-minded fool. As you get withing range of the target, an arrow appears to show you where they are. Simply hover above the arrow and hold the B button to extend your beam. When it reaches the building, the victim will begin levitating into your ship and henceforth the assimilation will automatically begin. But don't let go of the B button before the victim is securely in your ship, or the beam shuts off and the victim plummets to their death. And what's much more tragic, you lose points!

Any time you don't have a victim in your beam or in your ship, you can switch between four different tools used to assimilate your victims by pressing Start and cycling through the options. Some tools take longer to assimilate the victims while onboard your ship, but once the victim is planted back in the city your Assimilation % gets a significantly higher boost. Weaker tools will assimilate the victim much quicker, but will also give a lower Assimilation % when the victim is placed back into the population.

While a victim is aboard, your ship moves at half-speed, making it a bit more difficult to dodge those annoying missiles and bullets. If you have a lot closing in on you and need to move quick, you can press A to eject the victim and return to normal speed. However, you will lose points and your Assimilation Progress Bar at the top of the screen will, of course, revert to zero. And the victim will plummet to horrible splattering death bla bla bla -- what sucks is you loose points and progress.

The objective of each stage is to reach 100% assimilation as fast as you can. At the end of the stage, any time you have accrued gets deducted from your score, so MOVE!

NES development has never been as active as it is now and now there are more good news for developers out there because the Muchausen cart is comming!

The Muchausen Cartridge is a new NES flash cart that will be based on the MMC1 hardware, it'll have somewhere between 128kb and 512kb of onboard Flash and two 8kb RAM
banks. When completed the developers hope to be able to run any NROM roms, some MMC1 roms (Including NTRQ), and other completely custom code designed to take full a
dvantage of the new hardware. The price tag should be no more than $40.
