A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Nintendo just started offering more digital games as part of a maintenance sale. Physical rewards are undergoing some restructuring (they will not be available) and Nintendo is currently offering 9 digital games across Wii, Wii U and 3DS to make up for it. In short, Nintendo is offering more games from their April offering and […]
Can This Elastic Fishing Rod Platformer Hook You? Originally released on the Super Famicom in 1994 as the Umihara Kawase series, Yumi’s Odd Odyssey stays true to its name as there really is nothing normal about this 3DS eShop downloadable title. Starring a 20 year old anime girl, the goal is to reach Point A […]
Herding Cats – Skater Cat is not your typical runner. Running into walls, falling on spikes, and even getting hit by enemies does not cause an instant one-hit kill Game Over; the only way to really die is to fall down a hole which causes a full restart. Play control is very easy: the Circle […]

A TV Sitcom in Video Game Format – Falling in line with the other quirky games in Level-5’s downloadable Guild series, Weapon Shop de Omasse puts a new spin on the RPG formula.

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 […]

Letting the Weed Grow – The original Wii received ports of Pikmin and Pikmin 2 outfitted with new motion play control but completely missed out on a new entry in the series.

A Palette Swap – Bird Mania 3D Christmas is basically the exact same game as the original Bird Mania 3D but with one major difference – online leaderboard support.
