FireNes - Nintendo on your Browser

Comments (1) · June 2, 2008 at 6:13 am · Entertainment

A somewhat questionable Firefox addition, FireNes promises to deliver you more than 2,500 Nintendo games in your browser.  After doing some research, it appears this addon is fetching games from another online Java powered NES emulator.  Controls are limited to arrow keys, Enter, Ctrl, Z and X - but hey what do you expect?

They are just Nintendo games after all.

You can pickup the add-on via Mozilla’s web site (after registration) or via Softonic.  If your looking for the same thing though without the extension, try these sites:

http://www.nintendo8.com/

Enjoy it while it last, cause I am sure it may not last for long.  Ohh and when Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom police come knocking at your door don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Firefox Mentioned in Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

Comments (2) · March 14, 2008 at 8:46 am · Entertainment

Seems like no matter where I turn, Firefox follows me everywhere! Thumbing through the instruction book for Super Smash Bros. Brawl - I noticed one of Fox’s names (from Star Fox) for his signature moves was a little familiar.

His “up” special move is called Fire Fox. Now the fan boy inside of me would like to think this is a nod to the fine folks at Mozilla from Nintendo but it is probably not the case.

Tell me this though, when was there a mention of Internet Explorer as an awesome move in a video game? Chances are, if there was it would involve a crash* for sure.

* - sorry, couldn’t resist!

So did the Super Mario Bros 3 theme not get you going yet?

Well if that one did not tickle your fancy, I bet this one will. It seems like now that somebody has developed a Mega Man 2 theme for Firefox. Yes, you too can bring the blue bomber in all his glory to your desktop.

Now what I want to know is where is the Metroid theme? How about some Final Fantasy or Castlevania?
