A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Brick By Brick – Now over 30 years old, Tetris is still fun to play today. Tetris Party, an exclusive WiiWare downloadable title released in 2008, and its boxed retail alternative Tetris Party Deluxe (Wii and DS) were the best Tetris titles in years, outfitted with tons of new game types, multiplayer options, and online […]
From Blue Robot to Dark Witch – Using the 2D sidescrolling Mega Man gameplay formula, Legend of Dark Witch is Circle Entertainment’s latest low-cost 3DS eShop title that offers a fair amount of entertainment value despite having a brutally high difficulty factor. Just like Mega Man, players are free to choose any stage in any […]
Stone Goes Down the Hole – Using gravity as the main gameplay mechanic, Kersploosh! is a one trick pony that will keep you mildly entertained for about thirty minutes. The premise is simple – guide a falling object with the Circle Pad to the bottom of a well in the shortest amount of time as […]
Preparing for Holiday 2014 – Although many games available this month have been a part of the Club Nintendo program before, there are definitely some winners here. It is a little strange to NOT see the original N64 Smash Bros available on the Wii Virtual Console given the launch success of the 3DS version and […]
Winning Arena Challenges – What can be said about Nintendo Power that has not already been said? Everyone knows it was an entertaining and highly influential monthly publication that basically acted as the internet of its day. An unmatched component to the overall Nintendo marketing strategy, there was one piece of Nintendo Power that allowed […]
The below image was just leaked online that apparently contains the full roster of playable charters in the next Smash Bros game. The key details to note are the inclusion of the dog from Duck Hunt, Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, and Bowser Jr (who fights in that propeller floating clown vehicle thing). Ness and ROB […]
The Fantastic 2D Shooter You Never Played – Back in the 90s, shooters (or ‘shmups as cool kids like to call’em) were a dime a dozen but quickly faded into obscurity when 3D gaming became prominent. In fact, the term “shooter” is now commonly associated with FPS titles such as Call of Duty, Halo, and […]
New Twists on Old Games – With a mini game presentation similar to the Warioware titles, NES Remix puts a creative tweak on classic 8-bit developed Nintendo games. In truth, these challenges are something that gamers have been doing unofficially for years but this exclusive Wii U downloadable title provides a sense of accomplishment as […]
Extending A Hand – Keeping its past alive, Nintendo has an exclusive WiiWare title that is only available through its Club Nintendo program that harkens back to one of their first hit toys from the 1960s. While Grill Off with Ultra Hand is basically the equivalent to a $.99 smart phone game, it is a […]
Going Digital – Nintendo has just revealed their Platinum and Gold rewards for 2014. Unfortunately, this year is a bit of a letdown because all gifts are digital as opposed to the cool and collectable figures, hats, and posters from previously rewards. In summary, Platinum members get to choose from a wider variety of digital […]
