When I first saw Axiom Verge, I just thought it was a Metroid clone. The game didn’t impress me at all. I wasn’t excited about the game coming to Wii U either. Why do we need Axiom Verge when we have Super Metroid? Recently though, I saw another trailer of the game and thought it looked good. Maybe I was wrong about Axiom Verge. Of course, none of knew when the game was coming out for Wii U, so there…

I’m not a sports fan. I avoid watching sports on TV, get annoyed when they pre-empt my favorite shows, and never go to watch them live either. I also don’t care about sports video games. Well, for the most part anyway. There are a couple of exceptions to the sports game rule. I really liked Wii Sports. And also…I’m addicted to Mario GOLF. What?! I like a golf game?! Yes, I like the Mario Golf series. Let me try to…

One of the first things you ever do in a Legend of Zelda game is cut the grass to see if you can get a rupee or two. I don’t think anyone ever thought that cutting grass could be made into a full game though. But thats what happened with The Legend of Kusakari for 3DS! Cutting grass as a game objective?! Man, that sounds like a Japanese only game. If you thought that, then you’re wrong. Game developer/publisher Nnooo…

Last week on More Thoughts From Me, I told you about Nintendo Power. Some of you may have had no clue what I was talking about, while others were probably smiling and taking a trip down memory lane. For both of those groups, there is now something very cool on the internet. A site called archive.org has 13 years of Nintendo Power magazine online right now! When I wrote about Nintendo Power last week, I had no idea about archive.org’s…

I’m always disappointed when a Wii U game doesn’t use the gamepad much. We’ve seen a lot of indie games and even some Nintendo games, that only use Off-TV play and nothing else. When a game comes along that has unique and fun gameplay that uses the gamepad, such as Affordable Space Adventures, I’m always happy and hoping that we’ll see even more games like it.

Its August and you know what that means! It means that we have one more month to go until Dragon Quest VII is out! And Nintendo is not letting us forget about the game either. They keep releasing new footage of the game and we have their latest trailer below.
