A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
I have been hearing good things about refurbished Nintendo consoles and decided to try it out for myself. In this video, I unbox my package that was sent directly from Nintendo and analyze the contents inside. In an effort to reduce shipping costs, I combined my 2DS with a few physical rewards from the MyNintendo […]
The Nintendo Badge Arcade originally launched in 2014. Several years ago, Nintendo pretty much abandoned this free 3DS/2DS app as they were no long going to be adding new badges. Also, they unlocked 2 free plays each day you log in. Then, players can earn at least 1 additional free play by playing the Practice […]
Nintendo consoles have never been shy about incorporating obscure accessories and peripherals for use with their hardware. In 2012, I wrote an article summarizing the DS Rumble Pak and can be read HERE. In that article I mentioned that the DS Lite saw an exclusive Rumble Pak that fits flush with DS Lite systems (not […]
The US saw a total of 16 officially released Gameboy Color games with the Rumble Pak built directly into the cartridge. Powered by a single triple A battery and outfitted with a larger shell, these carts are undoubtedly unique for a handheld that saw over one thousand games released. In the video below, each GBC […]
PAC-MAN 99 is the latest battle royale style game and fills a gap that Super Mario 35 left behind. Although the concept is pretty cool and entertaining, Gillman has issues with the controls as the D-Pad on the Pro Controller doesn’t seem to work properly.
The Nintendo DS wasn’t just a cool system because it had two screens, Nintendo implemented backwards compatibility with Gameboy Advance games via Slot 2 at the bottom of the console. Sometimes dubbed the “GBA Slot,” this extra port allowed for some creative uses in DS games. For example, if players inserted Final Fantasy Tactics Advance […]
At the time of this post, Super Mario Bros. 35 will be shutting down forever in just a couple weeks as Nintendo closes Mario’s anniversary. As a way to remember this free to play Switch Online game, we decided to stream it to bid a fond farewell.
The Nintendo e-Reader for Gameboy Advance (GBA) is an obscure peripheral probably best known for playing original black box NES games by scanning a dot codes printed on cards. However, there are numerous cards that feature some unique content and never get any recognition. In this video, I talk about the e-Reader and scan some […]
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is easily the most controversial game in the series (no, not counting the CD-I games). Whether you love or hate the side scrolling, action-based combat and steep difficulty, there is no denying this sequel has some of the best music in the entire series. Personally, I think the opening […]
Back in late 1997, N64 owners were playing GoldenEye 007. Rare’s smash hit proved that first person shooters could work on a console, even on one that had a goofy 3-pronged controller. Even though it was released well after the launch of the film, it wound up being one of the best-selling games on the […]
