With Sean indisposed, self-appointed Sega guru Sindra teams up with Vinnk to explain the rise of the Mega Drive and Genesis to de-throne Nintendo as the reigning video game super power. Can it truly do what Nintendon't?

We get a visit from the Angry PC Engine Nerd, who is more than happy to explain that HudsonSoft and NEC were the true forerunners of the 16-bit wars, despite weak performance of the PC Engine outside of Japan as the fabled TurboGrafx-16.

We take a look at the Sega Power Base Converter add-on device that lets you play Sega Master System games on your Genesis and other backwards compatibility with Sega's 8-bit gaming machine.

We take a closer look at the TurboGrafx-16 and the Turbo Booster -- an enormous add-on that gave the console AV output capabilities... and little else! The Turbo Booster Plus gives it a bit more kick with some onboard RAM, but the feature wouldn't help with most games.


Denshimail

SeanOrange and Vinnk explain why using the NES AC power supply with a Famicom is a bad, terrible idea, and what alternatives you may have if your trusty DC Famicom adapter burns out.

This week we talk about why the Famicom Disk System is able to use six AA batteries, and whether or not the battery tray is a viable solution for your Famicom gaming needs. Also -- an "experiment".

We explain how to hook up your Famicom (RF) or Twin (AV) to your TV. NOTE: These instructions are for North American NTSC sets ONLY. We intend to cover NTSC-to-PAL conversions in the future.

The Famicom is able to sit on top of the Disk System, but is there any way to keep it locked into that position like most of the other console add-ons known to man and woman? Famicom Dojo has the answers!

In this Denshimail, we answer some questions about the Sega Power Base Converter's compatibility with different versions of the Sega Genesis, and one game that infamously can't be played: F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Famicom controllers have nice, metal faceplates, but they're prone to scratching, discoloration, and the paint flaking off. Even if you can find a new one, how do you replace it when the controller cables disappear into the back of the system?

Sega Family Tree Special The NES explains to Jr. how he met his mother, albeit in a roundabout way that could potentially go on for years and years.

Retro 3D Special: Famicom 3D System With the release of the 3DS in Japan, we take a look at Nintendo's first attempt at 3D gaming almost 25 years ago. (Hint: it's NOT the Virtual Boy!)

SeanOrange and Vinnk review the Famicom 3D System, the seven games that came out for it, and the ones that made it to the US and somehow managed to stay 3D.

Retro 3D Special: SegaScope 3-D The SegaScope-3D came out at the same time as Nintendo's Famicom 3D System, but Sega saw fit to release their peripheral in the US as well.

Also in stark contrast to Nintendo, Sega developed all of its own 3D games. Check them out in Part 2 of our Retro 3D Special!

Wii U Launch Special Sean and Phil Bond hit the Madison stores for the Wii U launch to interview the people to stand in line... only to find out there aren't any lines! Well, not many, anyway. Also, a Wii U unboxing, and some game play from NintendoLand.

The console launch landscape has changed, mostly being done through pre-orders. In this case, Nintendo barely sent out more units for launch day than were preordered. Are we going to face bare shelves on Black Friday, or does Nintendo think that everyone who wants one this week will get one?
