The details of Nintendo’s new online service are still incomplete. We know it will hit the Switch sometime this fall and the current rumors are a $30.00 price per year in the United States. What that $30 gets you has never really been fleshed out aside from some generalizations about services for matchmaking, chat, and a free game initiative.
Going in many believed that Nintendo had a lot to prove at this year’s E3. With the previous announcement of Zelda not showing up for the Digital Event people were looking forward to what Nintendo would show to fill the giant Ganon-sized hole, however it was not filled very well. Nintendo opened their press event by showcasing the new Star Fox title, Star Fox: Zero. Seemed like a pattern this year to open the event with the most anticipated game. Sony did it with The...
Today the talk of the town is the new Nintendo Direct, which you can all watch over at Nintendo’ s Direct site. Filled with some exciting new revelations, Nintendo definitely had a lot to say within their custom made press release, as they always do. Nintendo started the direct with a few game announcements, but what was most interesting was the reveal of the two new sets of Amiibo. The beloved Japanese company stated a new wave of Super Smash Brothers Amiibo will be...
This is the trailer shown at the end of the most recent Nintendo Direct. It shows off and reveals the new characters Charizard and Geninja for Super Smash Brothers. Super Smash Brothers for 3DS will be released Summer 2014. The Wii U version will be released shortly after in Winter of 2014. The video itself is in Japanese, but you can probably suss it out. More detailed information and screenshots can be found here.
Like many of my gaming counterparts Nintendo was the first console that I could truly call my own and is largely responsible for starting my love for video games. It is this very reason that it pains me to say that Wii U Is Dead and there might not be a way to resurrect it. For years the name Nintendo has been synonymous with gaming, it was the name that those outside of the gaming world seemed to use when referring to consoles as a whole and that kind of brand recognition...
At E3 this year, one of the most eagerly awaited games among Nintendo fans was Mario Kart 8, the next big Mario Kart game set for release in Spring 2014. The new game keeps what everyone loves about Mario Kart with the addition of HD graphics and anti-gravity. I got my chance to race on three courses from the upcoming game. The first thing I will say is that this clearly is a Mario Kart game. It plays exactly like past games. Everything from the boost...
One of the most anticipated Nintendo games this year leading up to E3 was the 3D Mario action game Nintendo promised they would reveal at the show. When Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed Super Mario 3D World, fans were quite shocked. It’s a little different than we all expected, but my short hands-on time with the game proved that it is a Mario game with a lot of promise. Super Mario 3D World looks and plays exactly like Super Mario 3D Land on Nintendo 3DS...
Another highlight for Watch This Wednesday this week, this time taking the Beatles strategy and applying it to Mario – not to say they don’t do this in all their videos, they do, and you should watch all of them if you get the chance. Give this hilarious skit a chance and be sure your boss doesn’t see it laughing it up.
This came to me earlier tonight while I was playing a rousing match of Grand Theft Auto. Ghosts!? Like, Boos!? Brilliant! So I took a good thirty seconds to make this little piece in Photoshop. Have any fun ideas for a nice little Call of Duty: Ghosts gag or joke? Put your ideas or pictures in the comments and the best ones will be put into our article and possibly receive a Call of Duty: Ghosts themed prize in the future. And another! Here are the Pac-Men Ghosts. This is...
Console Sales Console Exclusives Xbox 360: Like Halo the generation before it, Gears of Wars has been the killer IP that has driven the Microsoft 1st party sales more than any other in this generation. Gears has been the king of the cover-based 3rd person shooter genre and has been a trendsetter for other developers. RPG fans had a few things to sink their teeth into, Fable was a revered series until its later stages and the Mass Effect Series was exclusive up until...
