A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 […]
Nintendo just started offering more digital games as part of a maintenance sale. Physical rewards are undergoing some restructuring (they will not be available) and Nintendo is currently offering 9 digital games across Wii, Wii U and 3DS to make up for it. In short, Nintendo is offering more games from their April offering and […]
A Journey into the Unknown – Nintendo is offering some unique content this month for their Club Nintendo program. If you have a stock pile of Coins and willing to take a chance on some lesser known titles, March 2014 could provide the biggest sleeper hit month in the history of the program. Game #1 […]
