Granted, 3D gaming was on the rise thanks to titles such as Star Fox, Alone in the Dark, Virtua Racing and Doom, but with the wave of 32-bit consoles yet to materialise, the industry was at an odd crossroads; CD-ROM tech had mostly been used for FMV and pre-rendered titles like The 7th Guest, Night Trap and Myst—games which promised an immersive, cinematic experience yet lacked a deep and meaningful degree of interaction.<br/>Into this landscape, a tiny two-man UK studio released a game which offered an innovative way to represent characters in 3D whilst maintaining a film-like level of storytelling and player agency, making it far more suitable for the name &#34;interactive movie&#34; than any of the FMV pretenders of the 1990s; it also joins Alone in the Dark as a pre-Resident Evil example of a what would eventually be known as &#34;survival horror&#34;. That game was 1994&#39;s Ecstatica, developed by Andrew Spencer (of Andrew Spencer Studios) and Alain Maindron.<br/>Read the full article on timeextension.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-story-of-ecstatica-the-groundbreaking-survival-horror-with-plenty-of-balls">https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-story-of-ecstatica-the-groundbreaking-survival-horror-with-plenty-of-balls</a><br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/68beee0894836/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/68beee0894836/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#survivalhorror #ecstatica #andrewspencer #nighttrap #starfox #virtuaracing #alone #dark #fmv #spencerstudios<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-31T22:32:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyn4ndz20smt0nf3xat6y6tu76x0hfsf54ejzxsk89nzuwuwq30wqzypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82mtnepn Feature: Before Metal Gear and Resident Evil, a Trio of Japanese Devs Blazed a Trail in Stealth and Survival Horror<br/><br/>&#34;Taito would give us money. But the games were never published&#34;.<br/>Given that Halloween is upon us, now is the perfect time to examine Japan&#39;s first survival horror, and how it evolved from the first-ever stealth game. Along the way, we&#39;ll also take on the role of Doctor Frankenstein and revive the missing link between them, an unreleased title thought lost forever.<br/>What&#39;s interesting is just how much overlap the genres of stealth and survival horror have, with both cross-pollinating over the decades, in Japan and globally. Thief was as much about stealing treasure undetected as it was a survival horror in later levels, while the horror series Siren relied heavily on hiding from Shibito.<br/>Read the full article on timeextension.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.timeextension.com/features/before-metal-gear-and-resident-evil-a-trio-of-japanese-devs-blazed-a-trail-in-stealth-and-survival-horror">https://www.timeextension.com/features/before-metal-gear-and-resident-evil-a-trio-of-japanese-devs-blazed-a-trail-in-stealth-and-survival-horror</a><br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/aec1bf44a4788/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/aec1bf44a4788/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#residentevil #devsblazed #japanesedevs #metalgear #survivalhorror #trail #trio #doctorfrankenstein #japan #shibito<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-31T16:39:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy7kqph73zy5s2u8x0hcrt9yfxcqpppgqlsmsmkv4r5lf00n023vszypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl827yezlr Video: Nintendo Highlights Eight New Things In Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (Switch 2)<br/><br/>What are you most excited about?<br/>Zelda: Ocarina of Time returns next week, and if you&#39;re not already sold, Nintendo has now released a new video highlighting &#34;just some of the ways&#34; Link&#39;s quest has been remade for a whole new era.<br/>All up, there eight different things featured in the trailer above.

Shining Wind X, a mobile spin-off/sequel to 2007&#39;s Shining Wind, was deleted years ago by publisher Sega, but Yuvi (&#34;YuviApp&#34;), a modder dedicated to preserving titles long thought lost, has recently saved the obscure release from oblivion.<br/>Originally launched in 2008, Shining Wind X (&#34;Shining Wind Cross&#34;) showcases the continuing adventures of the cast featured in its PS2 predecessor, replacing the standard hack &#39;n&#39; slash action gameplay with turn-based tactical battles. The original Shining Wind came late in the PS2&#39;s life and thus saw little to no appreciation outside its native Japan - despite Shining&#39;s long history within the RPG genre.<br/>Read the full article on timeextension.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/10/preservationist-saves-japans-mobile-exclusive-shining-wind-sequel-from-limbo">https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/10/preservationist-saves-japans-mobile-exclusive-shining-wind-sequel-from-limbo</a><br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/2253cf0d91dbe/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/2253cf0d91dbe/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#shiningwind #japan #windcross #sega #yuvi #rpg<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T23:19:19Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfhnhtmugeetfxjtwds730svrnxm9tm9fmwynmj2s6w3q9tw39xwszypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82l6e75h Nintendo Showcases Every Switch 1 &amp; 2 Indie World Game In New Infographic<br/><br/>Do any take your fancy?<br/>It has been a couple of days since the Indie World Showcase, so, just like clockwork, Nintendo is on hand with its handy infographic, featuring every title in the presentation.<br/>While it might not have been wall-to-wall bangers, a quick glance at the pic showcases that there was a lot of good stuff on display — particularly when you remember that it was only 15 minutes long.<br/>Read the full article on nintendolife.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/nintendo-showcases-every-switch-1-and-2-indie-world-game-in-new-infographic">https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/nintendo-showcases-every-switch-1-and-2-indie-world-game-in-new-infographic</a><br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/609b1ed657f9c/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/609b1ed657f9c/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#indieworld #worldshowcase<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T22:42:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs92fwqt8y55nnle7u24xysfsnytr60hw9nduls03au3g9ps6cpmkqzypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82jvrc8r &#39;I Didn&#39;t Think That We Had to Crush Nintendo&#39; - the Father of PlayStation Says Revenge Was Never the Aim<br/><br/>&#34;The story says I was super shocked and decided to take revenge&#34;.<br/>The genesis of PlayStation is a story that is familiar to many people, even those who were lucky enough to be alive when it happened.<br/>The narrative goes that, after being jilted by Nintendo over its SNES Play Station hardware, Sony decided to turn the project into a stand-alone competitor, and the rest is history; the 32-bit system triumphed over the N64 and Sony has cemented itself as Nintendo&#39;s biggest rival on the home console business.<br/>Read the full article on timeextension.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/10/i-didnt-think-that-we-had-to-crush-nintendo-the-father-of-playstation-says-revenge-was-never-the-aim">https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/10/i-didnt-think-that-we-had-to-crush-nintendo-the-father-of-playstation-says-revenge-was-never-the-aim</a><br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/8e74631406ea3/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/8e74631406ea3/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#crushnintendo #aim #father #snesplay #sony<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T21:59:21Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfvpwffwt8yw7fep3p9udclgq42ly6pr6hs6qwh4fd8rwug286vjczypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82vz7v9a Guide: Best Nintendo Switch 1 &amp; 2 Horror Games<br/><br/>Pack a spare pair of underpants.<br/>It&#39;s that time of year again, and the perfect opportunity to REvisit and REfresh our horror list - now including Switch 2 games.

Naturally, a lot of the attention has been on the game&#39;s performance and whether the Switch 2 would be able to keep up with its competitors. Here to answer exactly that are the tech experts over at Digital Foundry, who have just shared their thoughts on the hybrid version&#39;s nitty-gritty details.<br/>We&#39;ll start with the all-important frame rates. DF states that MW4 runs at 30fps in its campaign mode, 60fps in competitive multiplayer, and 40fps (if you have a 120Hz display hooked up) in the DMZ extraction mode. While this is a little lower than other platforms — particularly in the campaign respect — it does mean that we Switch 2 players can still get the full-fat CoD experience.<br/>Read the full article on nintendolife.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/digital-foundry-delivers-its-tech-verdict-on-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-on-switch-2">https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/digital-foundry-delivers-its-tech-verdict-on-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-on-switch-2</a><br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/b6f44ef42e235/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/b6f44ef42e235/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#modernwarfare #switch #duty #call #tech #wii #dmz<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T19:56:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs83xd7qs2p7lrq7dqhqj0fdqxju40e7cuadx629yn2xr2yxx8jcpgzypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82atj2s8 The Making Of: Tomb Raider (Game Boy) - &#39;The Editors Had to Retcon the Score Because It Was Higher than Pokémon and Zelda&#39;<br/><br/>Matt Charlesworth on Lara&#39;s Nintendo debut.<br/>This month sees the launch of the Making of Tomb Raider 1997-2000 book, an unofficial deep-dive into the creation of some of Lara Croft&#39;s most beloved adventures, written by me, Daryl Baxter.<br/>In case you&#39;re keen for a taster of what the book might contain, I&#39;ve included an excerpt which focuses on Lara&#39;s Nintendo debut, which took place on the Game Boy Color in 2000.<br/>Read the full article on timeextension.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-making-of-tomb-raider-game-boy-the-editors-had-to-retcon-the-score-because-it-was-higher-than-pokemon-and-zelda">https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-making-of-tomb-raider-game-boy-the-editors-had-to-retcon-the-score-because-it-was-higher-than-pokemon-and-zelda</a><br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/93e86f0f7017e/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.timeextension.com/93e86f0f7017e/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#gameboy #tombraider #boycolor #lara #laracroft #darylbaxter #mattcharlesworth<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T18:40:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp632r09nh9pxdrtcmv4gu8p4ejdt2nu9jamlsa5xynqcsf5vgkhgzypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl826y7uk7 Pokémon And Fender Are Teaming Up A Rocking Guitar Collaboration<br/><br/>Shred and Green.<br/>The Pokémon 30th anniversary celebration merch keeps coming thick and fast, but iconic guitar manufacturer Fender might have just come out with the most &#34;oh god, we need this&#34; collection of the lot.<br/>That&#39;s right, Fender is teaming up with The Pokémon Company on two electric guitars to celebrate the Red and Green anniversary, and they are beautiful.<br/>Read the full article on nintendolife.com<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/pokemon-and-fender-are-teaming-up-a-rocking-guitar-collaboration">https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/10/pokemon-and-fender-are-teaming-up-a-rocking-guitar-collaboration</a><br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/b68ed698a49a6/large.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://images.nintendolife.com/b68ed698a49a6/small.jpg"> <br/><br/>#guitar #green #company<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-10-30T17:58:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd89suaecfgdha9nllhtngglyz9vathzty8kyc3qllrt84qwrhdaqzypvshf8ucr98qdtzxa7a8z8xy396q8rfwuzsmpt82rs0grxrwvl82c8rz84 Cuteness &amp; Confusion Collide as PS1 Puzzler Rhapsody Marl Jong!!
