Playstation Store to Return on May 24th?

Seems like things may be starting to look up for Sony and online gamers, especially if they need their DLC fix and of course, the "Welcome Back" program that's been set to start as well. A memo written by Sony and for its partners was obtained by Gamasutra, inquiring plans for the return of the Playstation Store along with updates that were planned before the whole fiasco. PSN Content Manager, Jack Osorno, stated, "We thank you for your patience as we work to resume service of the PlayStation Store, in the memo.

Sony is planning to release 2 updates a week to catch up on the Playstation Store, starting with May 24th. On that day, all DLC, demoes, add-ons, etc. that were set to come out on the 26th will be available, along with the "Welcome Back" program. 3 Days later, on the 27th of this month, DLC that was also meant to release the week after will come out as well. After the delayed updates have been set in motion, regular weekly updates will commence as usual.

Also, the memo says that Sony will be willing to move certain DLC and add-ons a little earlier that may have come out later to a much earlier time when the Playstation Store re-opens if there's some that are eager to play. One example that I'm thinking of is Fallout: New Vegas' latest DLC, "Honest Hearts."

Online play doesn't matter to me that much, but when it comes to certain DLC, it does a bit, but it's really that big of a concern to me. Either way, things are getting back on track with Sony!

Fan Remakes Super Mario Bros 3 Using New SMB (DS) Engine

Umm, wow. Having grown up with Super Mario Bros 3 constantly playing in my SNES I would say I have pretty deep love of the game. But even my love doesn't touch the levels of GBATemp.net Forum user SKJmin who went and painstakingly recreated game using the NSMB game engine. The mind blowing video below is showing just what you'll be getting.

Since both properties are entirely owned by Nintendo the patch will be free and the creator wont be providing the NSMB ROM with the download. There are also multiple warnings such as "Don't download this unless you have the original game from Nintendo. Having just checked, the patch isn't available yet but should be released at some point today just in time for some weekend fun.
