Today marks an important point in the history of nerdy things - Video Game Den has reached the six
hundred reviews milestone. Seriously, this grueling endeavor has been like the quest for the princess
in the next castle - although each new game reviewed here has somewhat touched and enlighted parts of
my being, there is always a new game on the horizon to be enthusiastic about. This is what has been
fueling this site for years, really, and there's plenty more to come. Finally, I would like to thank
all of you for your continued and amazing support. And whatever the next milestone is, let's work
heedlessly towards it !

The massive earthquake that hit the land of video game giants has shocked the world. In the aftermath of the disaster,
many companies such as Nintendo, Sony, Capcom, Konami, Bandai released statements letting
the world know that they are ok, and many game developers have tweeted about their safety. Several games have also been postponed
or canceled, and various servers have been temporarily shut down. However, these uncertainties about release dates and such,
in contrast to the tragedy, seem like insignificant matters - thousands are still missing and, although all my
Japanese friends are ok, my heartfelt condolences go out to all families in Japan affected by this unimaginable natural disaster.
Many Japanese game publishers have announced their plans to donate and support relief efforts, and I encourage you to visit the
Japanese Red Cross Society
if you would like to help Japan recover.

America created video games but Japan undoubtedly created video game culture. The Famicom
system (the Japanese version of the NES) was definitively a cultural smashing phenomenon in
its own right. The red and white console reached mass audience and introduced video game classics
such as Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metroid, Mother and countless more. VGDen is delighted
to open up a brand new section of the site for Nintendo's timeless system and rest assured that more
game reviews will follow very soon. Also, please feel free to join the new Video Game Den Facebook
fan group to stay connected with the site's weekly updates but also leave comments and thoughts.

It would seem that SunSoft is now supporting the Virtual Console! The first
title to be released was their excellent Chō Wakusei Senki Metafight (aka Blaster Master).
But the good news
don't stop there and the classic platform/shooter seems to be the first of many.
I guess the momentum was going and SunSoft also bought
the entire Nihon Telenet software library. That means series such as
Cosmic Fantasy or Valis may finally hit the Virtual Console.
Let's hope it's just the beginning and that games such as Waku Waku 7 or
Astra Super Stars will follow !

So, what happened to the five-year or so cycle ? New generation of consoles have
been hitting the market every five years in the past, give or take a year. Until
today. Maybe the technological leap we've seen this time around means that game
publishers have not yet taken advantage of the consoles capabilities (and development
costs have been soaring sky high). Maybe the Wii showed that technological power doesn't
necessary make the most succesful console on the market. Maybe a page is turning and
the market is going towards upgrades like fancy motion sensitive controllers for
some and HD support for others. So we are nowhere near to see a next generation. Not yet.

Video Game Den just passed the 500 reviews mark and I still have a hard time
believing it myself. Some of the oldest reviews created back in 2003 for the now defunct
PC Engine Lounge may need some revamp though. Hey, hold on a minute... Does this mean
that I've been writing an average of two reviews a week for the past five years ? I should
really get a life and do what most people of my age do. I could play golf, drive a SUV and
watch more Dr. Phil and CNN. Bha! I think that won't fit me, I'd rather stick
with video games and journey towards the thousandth review mark instead.

Sharks are all around us, sharks are everywhere. The web ocean is vast and
sharks lurk in the shadows. VGDen was bitten by one of them. Some Web Hosting
companies only exist for the sole purpose of swindling gullible customers out
of their effort and money. To chew them up and spit them out. VGDen hopes they
will eventually choke on their own greed and wonders how they even sleep at
night. This is why VGDen had to disappear for a while and why its cherished
identity was taken away. Things may eventually go back to the way they were,
but one thing is certain, VGDen now believes that web sharks are nothing more than
sardines in disguise and can't wait to see them canned.

Video Game Den has just crossed the magic 100,000th visitor milestone !
I treasure the fact that people appreciate VGDen enough to keep coming back.
I look forward to continue to grow the site and add more features and original content.
VGDen started as a small collection of geeky notes in a tiny notebook. But it
was obvious that the project needed more space and structure - consequently the PC Engine Lounge
was born. Unfortunately, the site's host - despite being free - came with a price. After
a year, it was struggling to cope with growing volume of traffic and data. It was time
to move on, bite the bullet and invest in more serious gears. Video Game Den
is the result of a long held desire to share a passion, and I thank you for your
awesome support.

Sunday 16th December : 2007
What an amazing year. As we are heading into one of the most exciting era
of video gaming, two systems quietly turned a historic page : the Atari 2600
turned 30 and the PC Engine turned 20. In only three decades, video games have
changed tremendously - from small screen resolutions and low color count to complex
real-time 3D, high definition graphics and sound. Indeed, they have digested our lives
for as long as we can remember but one thing is certain - we're not getting
any younger and despite the appearances, the video gaming industry is
still relatively in its infancy. That is, if you think about it, it took about thirty
years to efficiently introduce sound to mainstream Hollywood films and black-and-white
movies remained until the mid-1960s. There's a lot more to come. Today, efforts and
resources are put in the graphics and visual effects, but specific areas such as
natural physics and simulations are now becoming the next 'big thing'. Then, why
not push it all the way, simulate and bend all the natural rules we take for
granted - space, time and life. Video Gaming is about to become something
much greater than the sum of its parts.

At the end of June, Nintendo gave us a bit more insight into WiiWare.
Downloadable games will be available through the Wii Shop Channel in exchange
for Wii Points. Interestingly, Nintendo isn't only looking for well
established game publishers, but small independent teams of developers with fresh
ideas as well. The idea is not new but the concept has gained momentum and digital
distribution is definitively the way gaming is going. Players are divided on
this question - Some do not want to lose the physical end product, others
say it is an amazing idea. Will game shops
and the second hand market survive ? Will developers release unfinished games with endless
patches ? Physically going out to purchase the latest 'must have' was
the last thing getting some of us off the couch...
All of this will greatly shape the way we play games in the future but it is difficult
to predict how...

The Virtual Console, probably the biggest backward compatible feature ever
made, is on a strong path. Nintendo American announced they sold 1.5 million virtual games
only two months after the Wii launched. At an average of $7 a game (often more than
what you would pay for the real thing), Wii points are pure gold. Most of the available
titles so far are hits from the past but the library certainly grows every week.
The Virtual Console is an interesting Link to the Past, showing that
'old-gaming' still is, and has always been, gaming. And curiously, despite questionable
price tags, the Virtual Console is increasingly popular, even among players who
already own the vintage hardware Wii emulates so well. Once again, the future of
gaming embraces its past. For that matter, it is exciting to see more and more gamers out there
asking questions about those systems from the past... and amusing to
see popular gaming sites (the ones used to the 'polygonized' worlds of the current generation) to review titles
they try so hard to relate to.

First of all, VGDen would like to wish you all a groovy New Year,
full of gaming energy and happiness. This end of the year is hectic. Console war is raging.
Raging again. It is amusing to notice how the term is widely used today. It even has its own Wikipedia
page. Once again, millions of players all over the world debate, and often fight, over their royalty to a console
manufacturer. Players have wished for more, as they always do, and three powerful genies have worked their
magic. But is the Console War really good for the gaming industry ? I sometimes wonder. Competition
is at the heart of any industry. Software, rather than hardware, often decides of a manufacturer's fate. Anyway,
the future of gaming has never been so bright and, let's hope, will always be lit by more than one sun.

VGDen would like to thank you all for your great support. VGDen will hit 20,000 visits by the end of the month,
less than a year after its humble beginnings (which was more of a reboot if you think about it).
This may not look like much, but it is about five times
what the old PC Engine Lounges managed to achieve in two years.
VGDen is also really excited by Nintendo's virtual console. Excited by Wii owners playing
'old school games' on their consoles. This may bring emulation to the masses and may also
change the way how some people look at Retro Gaming. Less than a decade ago,
Internet changed our hobby forever and maybe another page is now turning. I doubt the Virtual Console's library
will include obscure or rare japanese titles though. But it is definitively a first step and
VGDen hopes that new generations of players will experience those
games for the first time in the comfy space of their living room, enlighted by those images from the past.
A past not that long gone...

Canadian researchers are finding evidence that video games can help protect our brains from aging. They greatly
improve our reflexes, co-ordination and multi-tasking. So what all of this means ? Well, except the fact that we
will enjoy our gaming hobby even longer than our ancestors could, beat-up our grand-grand-sons at Super Extra
Street fighter alpha revenge VI and still wonder around in Final Fantasy MMCII hunting those random
monsters for a handfull of experience points. Does this mean our brains actually grow differently ? I mean, we started playing
video games from the age of 8, and our kids probably from the age of 3. Are we becoming sort of ultimate-multi-task
beings ? Today, I can easily cook some pasta, watch the dying moments of a web auction, give a friend a call and
listen to my favourite music CD. And do all of this while rolling-up a whole city in Katamary Damacy. What all
of this really means ? Well, our lifes are flooded with entertainment choices, too many choices. We never had it so
good. And our brains are evolving to handle it all. Sweet.

It was interesting to notice that last November, while everyone was too busy to buy
those already forgotten Christmas presents, the World Wide Web quietly turned 15. Or more
precisely our beloved http protocol. I can not think of anything that revolutionized human
communication on such a big and global scale. The emulation scene also bloomed in the
mid 1990s because of it. But I sometimes miss the old internet. It wasn't as flashy
as now. Not as cool. It wasn't this comercialized beast. No pop'us. No Spyware.
No Ad-ware. The internet has becomed this fashionable place were everybody meet.
slash and dot have become everyday's vocabulary of television presenters.
Every teenager has a blog and many teenage girls are mid-aged dudes enjoying
their sweat-inducing hobby. And this is just the beginning. But the internet is also the reason why you are
here, it must not be that bad after all... Farewell !

A friend of mine sent me an interesting email the other day while I was finishing up VGDen.
Most of the students that entered university this year were born twenty years ago, around 1986.
And those same students have probably never played any of the games reviewed here, and even
if they did, they would have probably done it as an emulated curiosity. And even if they decided today
to experience the real thing, they would end up competing against the old generation,
the ones who now have jobs and incomes, the ones who can affort the pricy crazyness of
the retro wave and feed their greedy nostalgia. Did you realize that, few months ago, the
old Galaga and other "games on a stick" were part of the Father's day gift idea lists ?
The morality about all of this ? who cares ... We are getting old, and older each day. Old geeks.
But what about showing new and coming generations that their games have history ? That shooters once
existed and that games have not always been produced on shiny compact discs.
That new and future game ideas share old roots. Farewell !

Welcome to Video Game Den,
VGDen is finally here, rising from the still smoking ashes of the PC Engine Lounge.
Do not worry, the lounge did not suffer. Let's view it as a rebirth, a brain transplant.
VGDen will cover many more game systems, starting with Nintendo's Super Famicom. Tons of
existing reviews have been updated and completed and several exciting changes made their
appearance, including bigger scans, new articles and reviews of unusual items. Without
forgetting Mr. Spoiler who likes to go all the way to the end of things. Finally, VGDen
now uses a better host, so bye-bye bandwidth nightmares. Farewell !
