Okay okay okay. So technically the Olympic Games series is considered a “real crossover” between the two gaming giants, BUT I’M TALKING ABOUT SOMETHIN’ ELSE! I don’t know, I’m sorta sick of the constantly rehashed Olympic Games franchise. Seriously though. We’ve seen both the summer Olympics and now the winter Olympic twice now. Sure, the…
It’s rather charming to see developers such as Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto be so confident in the fact that he makes great games. Miyamoto is responsible to basically all of Nintendo’s greats ranging from the original Super Mario Bros. to F-Zero X and all the way up to Nintendo Land! The man’s got quite the repetoire….
I’ve said time and time again that Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite modern games of all time. It follows everything Super Mario 64 set the bar for (in terms of what we expect from platformers) back in the 90s and expands it even more with the use of motion control! Galaxy was…
Nintendo always looks for new opportunities to bring a new design for their consoles. Now, the upcoming Pokemon X and Y releases are another opportunity for the company to bring some new designs on their 3DS XL consoles. Nintendo has announced that at the launch of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, there will be two…
Let me begin by explaining that I love RPGs. Seriously! I’ve played through so many and I personally love that it’s a genre that seems to keep pressing onward in the midst of what I like to call “the FPS era.” RPGs have this awesome tendency to completely immerse in the world you’re playing in,…
Oh, Rare Inc. It’s been so very long! You remember Rare, right? They were visionaries behind such masterful games such as Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark and the Banjo Kazooie franchise (at least the N64 ones; I like to pretend Nuts and Bolts didn’t happen). What’s that other game they made? You…
Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Super Smash Bros. franchise had an awful lot of info about the newly announced games for the Wii U and 3DS. WHAT?! New challenger approaching?! Could it be?? Actually, it looks like the opposite. As you’ve probably heard, Sakurai has been suffering from RSI (repetitive strain injury) for quite…
Microsoft Xbox 360 was the number one selling console in the US market for 29 months straight up until May. However, things changed for the Microsoft gaming machine in May, when the Nintendo 3DS console outsold the Xbox 360 and became the top selling console for the month of May. The Xbox 360 has been…
Sorry, Nintendo fans, the company has made it crystal clear that there will be no price cuts for the Wii U ahead of Xbox One and PS4 launch. Nintendo America’s Executive Vice President, Scott Mofitt, said that there will be no price drops on the Wii U ahead of Microsoft and Sony’s big releases. Even…
I’ve been on a bit of a theme park high as of late. Park hopping across Walt Disney World certainly does a lot for the excitement levels in your body. What can I say, I’m a child at heart! That’s probably why I’ll consistently play Nintendo games! So earlier, while marveling over the Magic Kingdom…
Ah, Animal Crossing. There’s nothing quite like it! It’s a series that stands out on it’s own and is down right fun.. in an almost obsessive, addictive kind of way. There’s so much slander against games that serve the purpose of giving people a “second life.” You’ve heard it all, I’m sure: “GO OUTSIDE,” “MEET…
Do you remember your best friend from grade school? Remember that time when that best friend moved away? Remember when they came back to visit and you bought terrible tasting smoothies together and purposefully threw them in the middle of the street to see if cars might run them over? Okay, that last bit might…
Nintendo is an interesting beast when it comes to releasing new consoles. They tend to roll out completely revolutionary hardware but with the smallest library you could possibly imagine. The launch of the Wii U was a primary example of this dilemma: awesome hardware with an all new way to play games but barely any…
Before I get started gushing about how happy I am, I would like to let you all know that I am a twenty year old with an arguably deep voice and an entirely normal upbringing, and I just squealed like a little girl getting her first Barbie doll. Super Smash Bros. Arrives Cross-Console At E3…
