Nintendo’s online services crash. Needless to say, they have been having some pretty major issues this week.

Never in my life did I ever expect Mario Party to become a touchy subject. That is, until we were “graced” with Mario Party 9 for the Wii. The series had been absent for an awful long time after Mario Party 8 and many fans, like myself, thought that the series was all washed up…
Finally after months and months of customer complaints and corporate denials it has finally happened. Nintendo is hoping to expand its consumer base with a Wii U price cut. Wii U Price Cut and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Edition Nintendo announced on Wednesday that the Wii U Deluxe set will be getting a price…
Do you know who Samus Aran is? Well, when this Kickstarter is done, you will know who she is. If you already know who Samus Aran is and think more people should know about her, then there’s a Kickstarter you might be interested in. Kickstarter- Metroid: Enemies Within I find that today’s world is increasingly…
For many of us, Metroid stood high among the titles that first ignited our passion for gaming. The adventures of the bounty hunter Samus Aran as she fought against space pirates and alien monstrosities will, for many of us, be etched permanently into our memory. To call the franchise iconic would be putting it lightly…
So about a year ago, I was browsing this great website known as mfgg.net, which is home to a TON of Mario themed fan games as well as custom sprites and sound effects. One of the top rated games on the site was a little title known as “Psycho Waluigi” made by the same guy…
Nintendo’s got a lot to prove to me, along with the rest of the world, after the recent statistics showing just how much the Wii U is struggling. Luckily though, Gamescom 2013 is on its way, starting August 21st and Nintendo is promising a whole lot of quality First Party games to hopefully raise our…
Nintendo has filed suit against the well known console modification website HackYourConsole.com. The site offers R4 cards, console modding, and helpful information about the process of doing so. All of which Nintendo says “blatantly promotes and sells unauthorized Nintendo games.” Nintendo filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida where the HackYourConsole was first…
It’s certainly been a rough time for Nintendo, there’s no surprise there. On top of a slew of underwhelming releases and Nintendo’s latest home console last fall: the Wii U. I, for one, was super excited about it! But of course, as I’m sure you all know, I’m a bit of a Nintendo fanboy and…
Doesn’t it bug you when you ask someone if they play video games and they respond with, “Oh yeah, TOTALLY! I play Angry Birds all the time!” No. NO. WRONG. Or is it? If you mention Angry Birds to someone, I’m pretty sure that they would respond saying that they knew what it was rather…
There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the recent rerelease of EarthBound on the WiiU virtual console. I don’t know if the topic is really worth all the dust it’s kicking up, but I certainly have opinions on it. Before we get into my lunatic ravings, let’s take a look at how it…
Pokémon is quite the legendary series. The franchise dates back all the way to when I was but a wee lad blasting ships away in Space Invaders on the Game Boy Color. Ah, it was such a magical moment getting to choose between those first three starter Pokemon in Blue Version. Every new encounter I…
It’s no breaking news that Masahiro Sakurai has mentioned that some characters from Brawl are going to be cut from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. There’s simply not enough time to add them all. The man’s a bit of a perfectionist. We saw Brawl delayed for quite…
Bewilderment. I think that’s a pretty fitting word to describe anyone’s mind while they’re playing the upcoming Wii U title The Wonderful 101. Now, I’ll be honest, when I first watched the E3 trailer for this game, I was a little confused. It looked to me as some sort of Viewtiful Joe-meets-Pikmin sort of scramble….
