Running games at 2x speed is another staple-an emulation perk now deemed essential in remasters of old JRPGs like Final Fantasy 8. Save states are so commonplace today we barely think twice about why they became a standard feature, but when Nintendo included save states in the emulator for its NES Classic and SNES Classic, it was leaning on something innovated (or at least popularized) by the fan scene. Save states, for example: Best as I can tell the ability to instantly save and load anywhere debuted in Nesticle in 1997, though another emulator might've gotten there first. Fan-made emulators are responsible for pioneering features that are now considered must-haves in official emulators. The blatant lie or ignorance of that line just keeps eating at me. Join us in a few weeks to actually play some of these Summer of Arcade hits, and keep an eye out for our review of Earthworm Jim's co-op mode.Nintendo can claim it's lost money to pirated games played on emulators over the years, and I'm sure it has-but it also made millions of dollars by launching a service that emulation proved viable. This concludes our E3/Summer of Arcade edition featuring Earthworm Jim. The full game is free to play on PC, and it's definitely worth checking out if you dig the shooter co-op scene.
We've also got a handful of PC games that suddenly went free, including the hit Global Agenda. The trial game is free, and loads of fun. The game is a side-scrolling tank game with lasers, colorful explosions, and all kinds of other things. We had a lot of fun playing the insanely addictive Heavy Weapon on Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network. The game will grace both the Playstation Nework and Xbox Live Arcade. Deathspank has been confirmed to have a partner, Sparkles. Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is also on the Summer of Arcade co-op list, boasting up to 6 player co-op.Ĭo-op simply dominates the Summer of Arcade list this year, and we cannot wait for July now.īecause I was so adamant about asking these guys about co-op at PAX 2009, and they told me "But, there can only be one Deathspank"while on the showfloor - I am happy to be the one to tell you that the one and only Ron Gilbert RPG in the vein of Diablo meets Monkey Island will feature a co-op buddy. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will also be joining the ranks of the Xbox Summer of Arcade as well as PSN, complete with a third person co-op perspective on the series. The newest announcements include the Summer of Arcade release announcements for Monday Night Combat, a third-person co-op, versus, quirky fun game.
E3 brought us a lot of goodies, and we mean - a lot.
