GC9X presents the first ever Game's Nite Livecast!


You asked for it, so here it is: this Friday night at 10 PM EST, GC9X will be hosting the very first Game's Nite Livecast! What is the Game's Nite Livecast you ask? Think of it as a supplement to the GC9X podcast where we stream games related to the current game of the month live, as well as bonus material!

This month's livecast will be showcasing Lyle in Cube Sector, an indie metroidvania with elements inspired by Super Mario Bros 2 and Klonoa. The livecast itself will be shown here, so don't miss it!

GC9X #22 - Don't Fear the Bundle



As part of a special challenge, this August GC9X is exploring the vast ocean of indie games with Aquaria. Developed by Bit Blot, a two man team consisting of artist Derek Yu and programmer Alec Holowka, Aquaria is best described as an Ecco inspired metroidvania game. Released to critical acclaim in 2007, Aquaria never quite received the attention it deserved. Since then, it has been featured in numerous indie game bundles. Both of these factors made it a perfect fit for GC9X. If you don't own Aquaria, either on its own or via a bundle, it can purchased from either of the two links above.

For those that can't join us, fear not, Game's Nite has got you covered! As a special tie-in with GC9X's game of the month, Game's Nite next feature is Lyle in Cube Sector. A peculiar blend of Super Mario Bros 2 and Metroid, Lyle in Cube Sector is all about making use of cubes to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. Lyle is singleplayer only, but don't be afraid to play along with us! A special livecast will accompany this Game's Nite, date and time to be determined.

Time to get this party started...again! - GC9X Game's Nite Part Deux

That's right, we've got another Game's Nite lined up for you guys! The eponymous game this time is ToeJam & Earl for the Sega Genesis! A peculiar blend of roguelike, platforming and more traditional action elements, ToeJam & Earl beatboxed its way into our hearts in 1991, the same year that Sonic the Hedgehog debuted.

The Game's Nite begins Friday, July 26th! As always, join us on MAMEHub once the party has started.

Follow the break for more info, as well as some bonus content from last week's Fight Night.


If you're having difficulties setting up MAMEHub, here are some quick tips that should help you out:

1. Download and install the newest version of MAMEHub.
2. Set a port for MAMEHub. The default is 6806, but the port can be changed to anything you want.
3. Make an account. Alternatively, you can log in using your Google+ or Facebook account.
4. Start up a game and ask somebody to join you, or join a game with a free spot.
5. Feel free to join the GC9X cast over Skype!
6. If you have any further questions, be sure to stop by the relevant Game's Nite thread.


Finally, for those that missed last week's WWE 12 match between Snarboo and Bobinator, here it is in all its heavily compressed glory:

Be here for the first GC9X Fite and Game's Night 2000 (sic)!



The time is finally upon us! That's right, after making it to the end of GC9X Fight 3, hosts Snarboo and Bobinator are about to take it to the ring! But that's not all, folks. After the fisticuffs end, the festivities begin shortly thereafter with the first ever GC9X Power Party! Game's Nite 2000 (sic). The game: Battle Circuit. The place: MAMEHub.

Follow the break for more info.

The fun begins this Saturday, June 13th at 8:30 PM EST! The WWE 12 match between Bobinator and Snarboo will be streamed live by WildWeasel, and will be preceded by a mystery match starring four former GC9X game characters.

Afterwards, at around 9:00 PM EST, be sure to login to MAMEHub and join us for a rousing game of Battle Circuit, one of many awesome beat 'em up titles from Capcom. Feel free to start your own game, or join one of the hosts of GC9X in theirs. One of the games will be streamed live for those who can't join us, and who knows, you may be lucky and get to talk to the hosts of GC9X live!

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for future Game Nites, please stop by and post in the relevant Game's Nite (sic) thread.
