Boss Battles For The Soul Out Now!

By -
Last November we posted about a KickStater project from Mark Reichwein, a musician/composer from Japan with a love of 16-bit music. Well, not only did he hit his goal, Boss Battle For the Soul can be purchased now!

We had a chance to listen to this digital album and it does sound like it's being pumped out of an SNES! What is fascinating is that this is all original music, composed and styled to fit into some all time classics. Music that sounds like it belongs in titles like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and more!

The best part? Since all stretch goals were met, we have 5 more pieces being released this December! 

So, go and support Mark over at Bandcamp

Read some words from Mark after the break!
From Mark Reichwein:

It's an album of all SNES boss battle music written by myself to sound like they could be hidden tracks from their respective games. I used instruments straight from the games and tried to simulate the original composers' styles. Plus my friend Josef Blom (www.facebook.com/JBlomMusic) did the post-processing and did his own simulation of SNES reverb. 5 bonus songs will be coming later in December for the games Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 4, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, and Mega Man X. People can get updates on my music here: www.facebook.com/kyotunes www.twitter.com/MarcusKyo

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
