Classic Game Room reports from the Nintendo Conference where the Nintendo 3DS was announced. CGR was able to briefly play with a 3DS and it’s the real deal. True 3D without the glasses, it’s like you’re peering down into the screen because it has depth. It looks surprisingly cool and will blow away many skeptical people when they see it. Games announced are Kid Icarus and other top shelf Nintendo titles and 3rd party releases. Check out a shot of Zelda in the background as well as the flying HD camera overhead which is a Sony HDcam.

Part 2 of 3. Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED for the Xbox 360 video game console. The 360 comes alive with this amazing sleeper hit from 2007, TDU is awesome! Cockpit driving mode, Lamborghini, Ferrari and an enormous island to explore at your whim at high speed! This driving game is incredible and very affordable today, I picked up my copy used and have played for hours and hours already. If you like Forza 2 or Gran Turismo 5 you’ll LOVE this game! Explore one of the islands of Hawaii and race in a variety of time trials, races, competitions and speed tests. Drive hitchhikers and hot models from one side of the island to the other. Weave in and out of traffic with reckless abandon and run from the Police. It’s kind of like Grand Theft Auto without the guns, in that you have a huge environment to explore and drive this awesome collection of cars and spend money on houses and stuff. Cars and motorcycles in the game include Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Ascari, Noble, Nissan, Ducati, Kawasaki, Jaguar, Ford, Chevy Corvette, Shelby, Saleen and RUF.

Classic Game Room HD reviews the SNK NEO-GEO CD from 1994. This CD version of the amazing Neo-Geo AES plays many of the same games in CD form. Plagued by awful loading times thanks to the 1x speed CD drive in the game system, the NeoGeo CD is the least popular Neo Geo out there but CGR thinks it is a good buy for those looking for SNK games and Japanese release for a better price. The Neo Geo CD has no region encoding and will play Japan region Japanese Neo Geo video games (I’ve only tested with an NTSC Neo Geo CD). The Neo Geo CD has composite video, S-Video and stereo audio. Plays audio CDs. Neo Geo CD consoles can be had for a fraction of the price that the Neo Geo AES and Neo-Geo MVS sell for. Games are usually much less money as well. This CGR review of the Neo Geo CD shows the game console in HD with numerous NeoGeo CD games.
Part 2 of 2. Watch in high definition! Classic Game Room HD reviews the infamous ATARI 5200 controller for the Atari 5200 video game system from 1982. This analog controller with keypad is notorious for having problems nearly 30 years after its release. The innards fall to pieces, buttons stop working and the joystick is like mush. However if you want to play some awesome Atari 5200 games, and there is a huge complete list of amazing Atari 5200 games, then you’re pretty much stuck with the OEM stock Atari 5200 controller. You can buy parts to repair it yourself or purchase refurbished Atari 5200 controllers, and Wico made some aftermarket controllers, but those options are costly. Ignoring those major problems, how does the Atari 5200 controller stack up against other joysticks and controllers from video game consoles past and present? Watch the review for a complete technical presentation reviewing this piece of Atari history. Classic Game Room HD reviews joysticks and video game accessories for retro old school game systems and the new consoles like Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Classic Game Room HD reviews TIME SPLITTERS 2 for the Nintendo Gamecube video game console. Thie Time Splitters 2 review shows gameplay from the game and explains why the Timesplitters series is one of the best video game series ever created. Cortez is back and badder than ever in the sequel to the amazing Time Splitters. Although TS2 is available on the Playstation 2 PS2, being that this is NINTENDO WEEK on Classic Game Room we picked up this Gamecube copy for $2.50 and love it! What a great deal on an excellent game! The Time Splitters games are from Free Radical, who should be hard at work on Time Splitters 4 by now for PS3 and Xbox 360 and maybe Wii. It is a science fiction, comedy, zombie, adventure, parody first person shooter FPS video game with loads of weapons from different time periods from the past and future. Use laser guns, tommy guns, plasma autorifles, revolvers and flamethrowers all in one game. Behead zombies, save maidens and invade the UFO base. Timesplitters 2 is in between Timesplitters 1 and Timesplitters Future Perfect (aka Time Splitters 3). It bridges the gap nicely, has the awesome multiplayer mode and looks outstanding on the Nintendo Gamecube. Many people think that the Gamecube version of this game is better than the PS2 version. CGR can’t recall much of a difference, it rocks on the Gamecube (CGR played it on the Nintendo Wii acting as a Gamecube using the standard Gamecube controller). If you have a Wii or Gamecube and want an affordable, fun shooter them this is your game. Lots of cool missions await you and there’s tons of exciting things to shoot in Time Splitters 2! Classic Game Room is the ultimate retro video game review show for classic games and old school gamers! Reviewing old school and new games since 1999. Sadly we don’t have a look at, trailer for or info about Time Splitters 4 but we hope to soon!
Classic Game Room HD reviews VIRTUA FIGHTER 2 for the Sega Genesis from 1996. This 2D version of the popular Virtua Fighter 2 is very different yet very similar to the polygon-laden Sega Saturn version. The moves are similar, as is gameplay. A few characters are missing and the visuals are dramatically different but the game still kicks virtua ass. This CGR review of Virtua Fighter 2 on Sega Genesis (aka Sega Mega Drive) has gameplay from Virtua Fighter 2 on the 16-bit Sega Genesis showing Virtua Fighter 2 gameplay in HD action. This is a one or two player 1 or player fighting game that plays with a three or six button Sega Genesis (Megadrive) controller. Virtua Fighter 2 is easy to find and lots of fun.
Classic Game Room HD reviews ROCKET KNIGHT for Xbox 360, also available for Playstation 3 PS3 and PC via Steam. This retro-style remake of Rocket Knight Adventures, the 1993 Sega Genesis classic, is a revitalization of the series that brings back Sparkster and the awesome Rocket Knight style of gameplay. Use a rocket jet pack to bounce around levels and slaughter enemies while collecting gems and items. Rocket Knight is not as lengthy as its Sega Genesis counterpart but packs some good arcade style replay value with a cool scoring system based on multipliers and unlockable character skins and Achievement Points (trophies for the PS3 version). This CGR review of Rocket Knight from developer Climax and publisher Konami has gameplay from the Xbox 360 version of Rocket Knight showing Rocket Knight game play in action.
Classic Game Room HD reviews NIER for Xbox 360, also for Playstation 3 PS3. This RPG adventure game from Square Enix is super cool and features some unique art design and magic spells that enhance an extremely engaging storyline.
Classic Game Room HD reviews DARKEST OF DAYS for Xbox 360 where you fight your way through history in this very interesting and bizarre first person shooter! Ever wanted to tear through the American Civil War with a futuristic machine gun, or run through the trenches in WW1 with superballs that save people from being wiped out of time??? Well, if you can take the technical glitches and jerky gameplay then you may really dig Darkest of Days for Xbox 360. This CGR review of Darkest of Days has gameplay from this science fiction / historical shooter where you engage in combat during the Civil War, WW1, WW2 and more. Antique weapons and sci fi artillery are at your disposal, but not all at once. Darkest of Days may just be the weirdest FPS you’ll ever play with a lengthy storyline and odd animation scenes. It’s not for everyone, but for those who enjoyed the Highlander TV show or Quantum Leap it may be right up your alley.
