The NES Remix series has already seen two installments on the Wii U, but now Nintendo are taking the fast paced nostalgia blast and shipping both in one package for easy consumption on the 3DS. Ultimate NES Remix will feature both full titles, which feature the likes of Super Mario Bros. (1,2, and 3), Kirby’s Adventure, Balloon Fight, and many, many more.
If you have never played either title, each holds a good handful of classic NES titles, and the player must play through remixed pieces as they try to beat a boss in a fast time, or have Peach rescue herself. Yes, it is a bit insane, but in a good way. Ultimate NES Remix will also feature leaderboards, where players can battle against other players scores from all over the world. If three stars are won in every stage, the player will then get a whole new experience with Famicom Remix, adding new challenges. Mark your calenders, as Ultimate NES Remix hits down under and in New Zealand on the 8th of November, while hitting the U.S. at the start of December.
SCE Aust. has announced PlayStation’s official partnership with Movember, hoping to aid in bringing awareness to men’s health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer throughout the month of November. As everyone is surely aware, the campaign is extremely popular and this year, with PlayStation supporting the cause, the gaming community in particular will hopefully get more involved. Larissa Hazel, Head of Marketing Communications at PlayStation, said of the partnership;
We’re extremely excited to be a part of Movember. In Australia, we have a fantastic opportunity to bring the PlayStation community together and take part in a simple yet brilliantly fun way of raising awareness of men’s health issues.
A series of key initiatives are being implemented by PlayStation in order to encourage male players worldwide, or “Mo Bros” as they are being called, to grow their facial hair out during the month. “Mo Sistas” are also being encouraged to celebrate the magnificent moustache. (Good luck with that!) Galahad, star of the upcoming PS4 exclusive The Order: 1886, will be regrowing his outstanding ‘stache for the cause alongside his team members, who can join at Movember.com. Additionally, illustrator Tom Mac has created a selection of limited edition illustrations depicting fan-favourite characters, such as LittleBigPlanet’s Sackboy, inFAMOUS: Second Son’s Delsin Rowe and The Last of Us’ Ellie, participating in Movember.
‘Staches all-round in The Order: 1886

Our aim is to encourage men to grow moustaches that generate funds and spark conversations around men’s health. Having this opportunity to work with PlayStation to engage with their passionate community will help us drive awareness of Movember.
