Ace Combat 3 - A grand English translation released for a Playstation 1 game

Thanks to a heads up by our good friend VizionGamer via our twitter feed, we have learnt of the release of the English translation for Ace Combat 3 on the Playstation 1 by Team NEMO. You probably haven't heard of this game before, that's because the better version was released in Japan in 1999 as Ace Combat 3 : Electrosphere; an arcade air combat game by Namco. The problem was with the game and according to romhacking, the original story was altered and the characters were cut from the NTSC-U and PAL regions. Now thanks to Team Nemo the original Japanese game is back as it should be, but this time all 52+ missions are now in English!

With only 7 days left and $83,605 currently pledged of a $85,000 goal, they are doing really well.

Wings - Cinemaware's Flight Sim Kickstarter project revamp

Hot news for all the Cinemaware fans, it looks as if we might have a kick starter revamp on our hands and it's a game very close to our Retro Hearts. Wings may well be coming back.... Again, but before that, a little bit of negative history. In August, the 10th, 2012 to be exact, Cinemaware created a Kickstarter for Wings. However all was not well, even though many of us had fond memories of the original, the HD game never made it's pledge goal and it flopped big time, which was a huge shame. I for one was a pledger and was gutted for it not to succeed.
