A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
If you bought a Wii U Deluxe Set, the console with 32GB of storage space (not the white 8GB version), then you are eligible to get some eShop credit back with Nintendo if you bought digital content from the Wii U eShop via this Deluxe Digital Promo (DDP) program. Nintendo has not really marketed this […]
Preparing for Holiday 2014 – Nintendo released 8 new games from their Club Nintendo program for November 2014. Uniquely, there are a couple titles that have never been a part of the Club Nintendo program before and could be worth a look if you have Coins to spare. The following games will be available from […]
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 […]
Preparing for Smash Bros. – As we get close to the launch of the new Smash Bros for 3DS, Nintendo has prepared a list of Virtual Console titles to create more hype as gamers wait for this anticipated release. Many of these titles were available via Club Nintendo before but there are some winners in […]
Hard to Find. Hard to Play. – Now that Nintendo’s Wii can be viewed in a rearview mirror, it is interesting to look back at the entire library to see some games that might have been overlooked for one reason or another. With the Wii WiFi service now completely shut off, the Wii Mini console’s […]
Changing It Up – Nintendo has listened to customer feedback and just changed their Club Nintendo program by offering even more games starting this month. There are now four Wii U downloadable games available and four 3DS titles available for the August 2014 Club Nintendo program. As expected, most are Virtual Console titles but this […]
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 […]
Repetitive Busy Work – Torus Games deserves some credit for putting a different spin on this licensed product but even the new open world gameplay cannot save this unpolished and unrefined rush job of a gaming disaster. How To Train Your Dragon 2 is like a very weak version of Diddy Kong Racing where the […]
Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has had some extra time with their new gen system. In typical Nintendo fashion, they killed it with 1st party announcements but 3rd party support remains low. However, a higher emphasis on smaller indie games was definitely made apparent and Nintendo is also betting heavily on the NFC Amiibo figures. […]
Repeating Kirby – Nintendo is kicking off E3 week with new Club Nintendo games. June is a little disappointing as Kirby’s Adventure is a repeat from last month and Electroplankton is an app instead of a game. Reminder, if you have been hoarding coins for the last couple of years they could be expiring at […]
