NES-Bit, A new UK NES Collectors Site
26. Oct 2010 at 15:32

Had a word with Martin as I didn't want to come across as spamming but I'd like to mention a website of my own I've been cooking up these past few months.

I noticed awhile back that there wasn't much focus on the UK market and with focusing on a complete collection of PAL-A UKV carts I decided to use my free time to focus on something useful and this is the result:

http://www.nes-bit.com/

I think I've written a good enough of starting content there's approx 50 reviews I wrote myself plus several donated articles not to mention an extensive database. So please have a wander over there and have a nosey Grin

Would be cool to know if there were any problems becoming a licensed SNES developer since they had bothered Nintendo in the 8-bit days.

Still working on that but did manage to snag an interview with Ste Pickford from Zippo games (chap behind Wizards & Warriors 3 plus a host of other NES titles). He's currently working his way through a pile of questions I sent but I'm hoping it will make for a great article

Been awhile since I've posted an update here so thought I'd mention a couple. Just added some reviews, first we have Snake Rattle 'n' Roll

http://www.nes-bit.com/?p=3539

And Alien 3:

Finally I've stepped up in the world of web technology and created a Twitter feed. Will be keeping this up to date with stuff for the sites and random NES tidbits so worth signing up for:

Jan 2011 at 17:06 Had contact with a couple of famous folk, both of which have agreed to interviews! Can't say who at the moment but it's a real feather in my cap. Haven't done an update here for a bit so thought I'd show off something I worked on, a top 10 of the worst NES games ever released: http://www.nes-bit.com/?p=4142

Happy to say I have posted my first ever interview. Had a chat with Ste Pickford of Rare and Zippo Games fame, who spent sometime talking about his time in the games industry (with a hefty bit of NES related history of course!) and his upcoming game:

It's my first interview so would welcome any comments

Great site, I even bookmarked it. Now update more frequently. Angry

I always aim to post at least 1 update a week but with reviews I do worry there's a limit 280 odd games. Already hit 65 in 4 months so need to take it easy Tongue

Got some great content lined up, getting closer to completing the full set of Club Nintendo mags.

Well its been awhile since I posted an update but have plenty more content to show off Tongue

First up is a review of Street Gangs or River City Ransom in the US, quite a little gem to find:

Next is me working my way through Nintendo's clash with the education market. Is it a game or just a bad idea?

http://www.nes-bit.com/?p=4451"]http://www.nes-bit.com/?p=4451

I've also posted a few updates to the magazine section, nearing a full set of Club Nintendo now and I have the most complete set available! As always I'll be posting a lot more as time goes on so please bookmark the site and keep an eye on it

Also take a deeper look into what's involved in programming for the NES: http://www.nes-bit.com/?p=4558
