A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Starting April 22, 2014, Nintendo is permanently dropping the price of five of their best 3DS games both in physical retail store and digital eShop formats. The following games are now available for $29.99, about a $10 price drop. – Mario Kart 7 – New Super Mario Bros. 2 – Super Mario 3D Land – […]
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 […]
Best Baseball Game Ever! (This review was originally posted back in early 2005. But now that R.B.I. Baseball ’14 is about to launch, I thought I would repost this review.) Here’s the thing: I have never really liked sports video games. My philosophy is that if I’m going to participate in a sport, I will […]
Stand and Protect – The biggest gimmick behind the Wii U is the tablet-like Gamepad. This special controller is responsible for the majority of the cost of a Wii U so it only makes sense to want to project it. In fact, Nintendo does not even offer replacement/extra Gamepads at retail so keeping this unique […]
Nintendo’s Club Nintendo program just started offering a Yoshi’s New Island t-shirt for 800 Coins. The shirt shows an image of Yoshi flinging a giant egg with Baby Mario on his back and is available in small or large sizes. Like many other Club Nintendo items, this probably won’t last very long so be sure […]
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 […]
Blending Sudoku, Picross, and Mine Sweeper – Mixing puzzle elements from Picross and Sudoku, Tappingo is a different type of puzzle game that offers a casual but yet refined experience for a low cost. Using the stylus, the goal is to create 8-bit sprites by stringing together tiles in the correct order. Each puzzle has […]
Nintendo announced they will be pulling the plug on most online functionality for both the Wii and original DS hardware on Tuesday May 20, 2014. This includes online play, matchmaking, and leaderboards. Nintendo made it clear that offline play will of course still be available. It was also around this time last year that Nintendo […]
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. Strangely enough, this game was actually headed by a Japanese comedian instead of a well-known game designer. Unfortunately, the end result corresponds […]
Showing the Wii U some love, this week Gillman and I play through a bit of New Super Mario 3D World and talk about how lazy Nintendo is and the lack of inverted controls. Watch live video from Varms on TwitchTV
