D-Pad Hero

Yeah, I’m a retro gaming junkie, so this one immediately caught my eye: D-Pad Hero. It’s a new game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that, you guessed it, is inspired by the ever popular Guitar Hero. It’s got four songs you can play along with:

• Sweet Child o’ Mine, Guns N’ Roses
• The Way You Make Me Feel, Michael Jackson
• Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Daft Punk
• The Swing of Things, A-Ha

It’s a free download, and you can play it on an NES emulator. It worked great in Nestopia, for me. Chiptune remakes are always fun, and I’d have to say Sweet Child o’ Mine is my favorite song. I haven’t actually played it too much, yet, though.
