The Zeebo is a new console from Brazilian outfit Tectoy that uses a 3G SIM card to download games. It is a bit on an odd beast – looking like an unholy marriage of the PS3 and a Wii, and the strictly last-gen games selection (Quake, Crash Bandicoot, etc.) may seem a bit underwhelming.
Kotakuite Daniel Novais sent me an email this past week, asking me to take a look at his “little short artsy game” called Estamos Pensando (Portuguese for ‘We Are Thinking’). Inspired in part by Jason Rohrer’s Passage, Estamos Pensando is a sweet, sad, and polished little game. Daniel said that he’s now trying to work on something a little happier, since one comment on Rohrer’s Gravitation noted that these ‘artsy’ games are usually depressing. There are Portuguese and English versions of the game, and gameplay is quite simple. The game has apparently gotten some nice initial reviews since its submission to the Brazilian symposium SBGames 2008 festival, and it’s worth a little bit of your time.
You may think that EA’s support of the original Xbox — it released both Madden NFL 08 and Madden NFL 09 for the console — showed serious dedication to legacy platforms. How does Genesis support sound? If you thought “bat shit insane” then you might be surprised to learn that versions of FIFA 2008, Need for Speed: Pro Street, The Sims 2, and SimCity are being ported to the 16-bit Sega platform for the release of Tectoy’s Mega Drive 3 (a wild looking Genesis clone) in Brazil.
Insert Credit dug up details on the “new” EA Genesis titles, which happen to be based on the mobile device releases and are being ported by Tectoy devs. Those games are just four of the 86 titles that will come pre-installed on the budget console, including classics like Shinobi III and Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. There are even some new titles of hazy origin. Everything old is new again… or vice versa.
