A nice video tutorial by Bert De Swaef.
A few days before Breath of the Wild was released Nintendo's Hidemaro Fujibayashi, Satoru Takizawa, and Takuhiro Dohta (who all three working on various Zelda games in the past) gave at talk at the Game Developers Conference. They provide a unique look behind the scenes of this fantastic game.
On the sitepoint blog Bruno Skvorc explains some of the inner works of the PHP version of snake created by Andrew Carter.
At a recent conference in Bulgaria, there was a hackathon for which Andrew Carter created a PHP console version of the popular “snake” game.I thought it was a really interesting concept, and since Andrew has a history of using PHP for weird things, I figured I’d demystify and explain how it was done.

James Holderness recreated the Donkey Kong Game & Watch without JavaScript. Amazing work.
There are two things I’ve always wanted to try in HTML: generating a photorealistic image using CSS, and creating an interactive game without the need for JavaScript. HTML Kong is the end result of those two ambitions – a reproduction of the Game & Watch video game, Donkey Kong, using just HTML and CSS.For those of you that haven’t heard of it, Game & Watch was a line of LCD handheld video games from the 1980s. The Donkey Kong title was probably one of the most popular in the series, selling more than a million units worldwide. The game was split over two screens and built into a distinctive clamshell casing.

This guy beats Super Mario World in 6 minutes. He uses the credits warp glitch to reprogram the game while playing it.
The exploit works by transferring control to sprite X-position table via the chuck eating glitch so that the game executes the X-position of sprites as if it were code. Using koopa shells, the X-position table can be filled with values which switches the game from mode 0x14 (normal level execution) to 0x1C (midway through the credits).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14wqBA5Q1yc#t=24
EDIT: Today Carlsagan42 finished the game under 2 minutes.
The goal of the game is for kids to maneuver their turtle across the board, avoiding obstacles and other players, in order to rendezvous with a jewel. But instead of rolling a dice and letting fate decide, they use a set of cards that serve as basic programming instructions, telling the turtle where to move and when to turn.http://toyland.gizmodo.com/a-board-game-that-teaches-four-year-olds-how-to-code-1656478026
