A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Repeating – For the third month in a row, Nintendo is offering 4 digital games as part of their Club Nintendo program. February 2013, unfortunately, is a letdown because these games were previously a part of the Club Nintendo program. But I guess we can’t complain too much given that these downloads are technically free. […]
During last week’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that the Virtual Console service is going to be launching in the coming months for Wii U. To celebrate, Nintendo is offering several games, one each month, for the deeply discounted price of $0.30 to recognize the 30th anniversary of the Famicom. Yes, that is only thirty cents! […]
Tons of high quality Nintendo news was released during today’s Nintendo Direct. Here are the details you need to know: A New Zelda Is In Development Before you get too excited, this game is still in the very beginning stages of development. However, Eiji Aonuma is promising to “rethink the conventions of Zelda.” It seems […]
Moving Data – Transferring data from one source to another is taken for granted today thanks to modern technology such has SD cards, USB flash drives, torrents, the internet, texting, instant music, movie and game downloads, and wireless communication. But back in early 2000, Nintendo took it upon themselves to create a way to transfer […]
Four At Once, Once Again – Nintendo has taken a new approach to their digital Club Nintendo rewards. Starting just a month ago in December 2012, Nintendo began to offer four digital downloads at once instead of two games every other week. This trend has continued in the first month of the New Year by […]
Impossible Not To Frustrate – UFO has turned their Johnny character into their main mascot. Originally a KungFu master, LCD star and shooting gallery bandit, Johnny is shaping up to be the guy for any job (just like Mario). Unfortunately, the 3rd time for this generic character is not a charm as Johnny Impossible is […]
Tis The Season – Nintendo offered some pretty unique games in Nov 2012 whereas they are going the more Virtual Console route in Dec 2012. And instead of offering 2 games at a time, they are offering 4 for a limited time! Starting off the month is 1080 Snowboarding, an N64 Virtual Console title that […]
Saving Earth With A Watergun – If the world was under attack by aliens, who should be elected to save it? The President? Jesus? Superman? Bruce Willis? Nope. The answer is Chuck E. Cheese – the rabid rat mascot who likes to feed young children horrible pizza and dip them in disease laden ballpits. And […]
Rumbling In Your Pocket Several months ago, I wrote an article highlighting the Forgotten Relic – the DS Rumble Pak. However, this was not the first time that a portable game system incorporated force feedback into games. Sure, there were a couple other failed handheld systems like the Zodiac Tapwave, but the Gameboy Color actually […]
Killing Them Softly It has been almost a decade since we were last treated to a new Pikmin title. This unique IP was first launched in 2001 on the Gamecube while its sequel followed in 2004. Nintendo then proceeded to re-release these two Pikmin games on the Wii, retrofitting them with a new play control […]
