A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Pulling into Port – The Nintendo 3DS eShop version of Squids Odyssey is a port of the Wii U version containing all the same content but with a couple differences involving the smaller screen. Similar to the Wii U Gamepad controls, the 3DS touch screen with the stylus or Circlepad can be used for all […]
Following last month’s release on Wii U, The Game Bakers’ SQUIDS franchise is now on Nintendo 3DS in SQUIDS Odyssey, a tactical RPG available for download in the Nintendo eShop. Designed specifically for handheld devices, SQUIDS Odyssey has casual combat with quick levels that can easily be enjoyed on the go, alongside an epic adventure […]
Expansion Pack – Last fall QubicGames released AiRace Speed to the 3DS eShop, a sequel to a couple of DSiWare racers. With its low price point, solid use of stereoscopic 3D, and highly competitive leaderboards, this futuristic racer stood as a sleeper hit for Nintendo’s downloadable service. Now, about nice months later, QubicGames has released […]
Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has had some extra time with their new gen system. In typical Nintendo fashion, they killed it with 1st party announcements but 3rd party support remains low. However, a higher emphasis on smaller indie games was definitely made apparent and Nintendo is also betting heavily on the NFC Amiibo figures. […]
Repeating Kirby – Nintendo is kicking off E3 week with new Club Nintendo games. June is a little disappointing as Kirby’s Adventure is a repeat from last month and Electroplankton is an app instead of a game. Reminder, if you have been hoarding coins for the last couple of years they could be expiring at […]
Strategic Flick’Em Up – Mixing the flicking catapult and level progression gameplay of Angry Birds with the strategy of billiards, Squids Odyssey has extended its mobile roots to the Wii U with a 3DS port set to be released soon. It is a simple concept that translates to some clever and entertaining gameplay but is […]
Closing out the month of Mega May, Megaman Xtreme 2, basically a de-make of the SNES Megaman X2, is now on sale via the 3DS eShop Virtual Console for $4.99. Players play as both X and Zero in this surprisingly good GBC game. As a side note, Pushmo is on sale for $4.69 and Crashmo […]
Cat Scratch Fever – With a high challenge, lack of tutorial and constant requirement for perfect playthroughs, Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails is not for everybody. You know you are in for something special when it takes hours of trial-and-error just to complete the first few opening “learning” stages of this deceptively devious […]
One Small Episode for Man. One Giant Leap for Renegade Kid. – Hero indie developer Renegade Kid has made a name for themselves over the last several years by releasing memorable titles such as Dementium, Moon, Mutant Mudds, and Bomb Monkey. Moon, an impressive-for-its-time technical FPS marvel on the original DS, is now being revisited […]
Preparing for Megaman’s debut in the upcoming Smash Bros games, Nintendo and Capcom will be releasing one classic Megaman game on the 3DS eShop each week for the entire month of May. Megaman Xtreme, a re-making of the original Megaman X on SNES, has already kicked off this promotion. Megaman Xtreme 5-1-14 Megaman II 5-8-14 […]
