I think it is safe to say Nintendo's first foray into the augmented reality scene is a success. Pokémon GO game out one week ago in the United States and it has been an instant hit flooding all social media with what has been caught, where what has been found, and more. So why is this game so addicting? The answer is the same it has always been, Gotta Catch Them All!
Read MoreThere is a dream that many people have. A dream to traverse the tall grass to capture wild Pokémon. And now they have announced Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android. An augmented reality game that is made by the same ground that brought us Ingress. In the game you can find and capture wild Pokémon, you can battle other trainers, and even take place in group events such as battling wild Mew-Two. They are even going to have a wrist based item that will vibrate when you are near wild Pokémon and to simulate throwing the Pokéball. Check out the trailer to the pure awesome.

So yongzh has created yet another video game emulation app for the Android. This is a not big deal given the devloper's history doing Game Boy, NES, SNES, Gensis, etc apps for the Android. This N64 version though has a nice addition to it. You are not limited to your Android onscreen controls or using the keyboard. You can link up a wii-mote and nunchuck should you have one to your phone for game control. This means you are free to play your games without your thumbs in the way. Check out the video for a preview of this:
You can get the app on the android market for $5.99, and while the emulator is not perfect (creators words) it does have a nice gimick that would be nice to see ported to other emulators (use a PS3 controller maybe).

Rock Band, the almost now default party game. Almost all gamers have a least one iteration of this rhythm game. Sure it has been made mobile in the past. Rock Band on the DS, on the iPhone and whatever else it has been on, but these system have a flaw in them. They remove what some believe makes Rock Band great, playing with friends.
Thanks to the new 4G LTE network that Verizon has launched though that may very well change. They are planning on allowing 4 people to play Rock Band over their new network on a LTE Android device. The only thing I worry about on this is how much data that can cost over a time period. Click the source links to check out the full press release.
