A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Ending the Year – Nintendo is wrapping up 2014 with a low-cost Virtual Console heavy Club Nintendo offering for December 2014. The following games will be available from December 15 through January 19, 2015. Game #1 – Kirby’s Dreamland 3 (SNES on Wii U VC) Price – 200 Coins, normally $7.99 Summary – Kirby must […]
Preparing for Smash Bros. – As we get close to the launch of the new Smash Bros for 3DS, Nintendo has prepared a list of Virtual Console titles to create more hype as gamers wait for this anticipated release. Many of these titles were available via Club Nintendo before but there are some winners in […]
Changing It Up – Nintendo has listened to customer feedback and just changed their Club Nintendo program by offering even more games starting this month. There are now four Wii U downloadable games available and four 3DS titles available for the August 2014 Club Nintendo program. As expected, most are Virtual Console titles but this […]
Mario Meets Art in April 2014 – In addition to offering two solid Mario titles, the Club Nintendo program is going a rather creative route for the April 2014 offering. Trajectile is a DSiWare game you never played that is basically a new type of Bust-A-Move and Art Academy: First Semester is a great way […]
For some reason Nintendo decided to offer The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition as a free download via the 3DS eShop from today (1-30-14) ending on 2-2-14. The strange part is this is technically a DSiWare game but doesn’t seem to be free via DSi download. Either way, download this and enjoy yourself […]
Impressing Looking. Bad Controls. – Even with a number of downloadable golf games available on both the DSiWare and eShop services, 101 MiniGolf World is an ambitious and admirable attempt at creating a light hearted digital mini golf experience. The goal is simple – putt your ball from the starting position to the hole at […]
A Bejeweled Clone – Match three shapes of the same color to make them disappear, opening up the possibility of combos, and make room for new pieces to fall in their place – it is the puzzle game gameplay technique that has been used by many and is tried-and-true. Super Swap! is basically a simplified […]
Simple Gameplay. Tons of Content. Lesson in Frustration. – Puzzle games are rather difficult to create as players need to be challenged but not pushed to the point of rage-quitting frustration. Unfortunately, 1001 Crystal Mazes Collection has an overwhelming amount of content but this is clearly a lesson in quantity over quality. There are dozens […]
Pull Your Balls. Shoot Your Balls. – Ball Fighter is a simple puzzler that uses a typical match-3 style of gameplay and was originally released as a PC title then later ported to DSiWare in late 2009. Unfortunately, the basic and bland gameplay feels like work as opposed to having that addictive “just one more” […]
Same Problems As Before Only Worse – Escape the Virus: Shoot’em Up is basically a new way to play the original game Swarm Survival; you play as a piece of inaccurately depicted DNA while fighting off viruses from a top-down view. Instead of strictly playing defense like in Swarm Survival, Shoot’em Up is an offensive […]
