So last weekend I was over at a friend’s house and we were playing an Xbox LIVE indie game called Protect Me Knight. It’s a new game, but visually and musically appears like a NES 8-bit title! We played it nearly the whole time I was there, and it got me to thinking about other new games done in 8-bit style. So I figured I would write a blog about other notable 8-bit styled new games. Now, these aren’t remakes of old games or anything, so keep that in mind.

Recently I imported a new Japanese DS game. Not sure what it translates to, probably “Cary is a weirdo.” Taiko no Tatsujin is a music and rhythm game where you hit a Taiko drum in time with the beat. A Taiko drum is a large Japanese drum. You’ve probably seen one and never realized it. They look like giant barrels tipped on their sides. There’s no chance this game will ever come to the US, so here’s my import review of the third Taiko no Tatsujin game to appear on the Nintendo DS!

You know what’s strange? I find baseball a very boring sport to watch both on TV and live. But whenever one of my little brothers or cousins ever had a Little League game, I would never pass up the chance to go watch them play. The kids were always more entertaining than the pros. It was great seeing my little brothers out there on the field having fun and learning valuable lessons on teamwork without too much pressure to win (or make money). And now you can enjoy all the fun of Little League with Little League Baseball World Series 2010 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 (360 version reviewed here).
