A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
All Metal Gear Here in One Place – Spanning well over two decades, the Metal Gear franchise has been one of the most revered, talked about, welcomed and controversial video game series of all time. There are many games in the timeline from direct sequels to unique off-shoot non-canon titles but there truly is not […]
Ransacking the Bin – Who doesn’t like a good deal? Clearance bin shopping is always entertaining because you never know what treasures you might find for dirt cheap. In a random trip to the local mall, I decided to meander through the Sears electronic section knowing they have been clearancing off games and other gadgetry. […]
Tis The Season – Nintendo offered some pretty unique games in Nov 2012 whereas they are going the more Virtual Console route in Dec 2012. And instead of offering 2 games at a time, they are offering 4 for a limited time! Starting off the month is 1080 Snowboarding, an N64 Virtual Console title that […]
Killing Them Softly It has been almost a decade since we were last treated to a new Pikmin title. This unique IP was first launched in 2001 on the Gamecube while its sequel followed in 2004. Nintendo then proceeded to re-release these two Pikmin games on the Wii, retrofitting them with a new play control […]
Unknown Digital Downloads – Nintendo has treated November 2012 a little differently with their digital downloads as most games were relatively unknown WiiWare and DSiWare games. Early in the month, Mario Picross was available as an eShop Virtual Console download. This original GB game is a cult favorite among puzzle fans and a predecessor to […]

If you don’t know what Club Nintendo is or how it works, check this out. 3D Classics: Urban Champion was available for 150 Coins from Oct 8 – Oct 21. […]
Nintendo has been offering up a few unknown WiiWare and DSi games as Club Nintendo rewards over the last few weeks. Art Academy: First Semester was available from Sept 10 – Sept 23 for 150 coins. This DSi download promises to teach basic art lessons using the stylus on the touch screen to perform basic […]
Instead of offering WiiWare originals, Nintendo has been offering Virtual Console downloads these last few weeks as Club Nintendo rewards. 10 Yard Fight was available as a Wii Virtual Console download for a couple weeks in preparation of the upcoming football season. Unfortunately, this football title is no TecmoBowl and pretty primitive and slow in […]

But we want to show our love for Nintendo’s second generation handheld; here is our wish list of the Top […]
