Last week, Nintendo posted a new video that focused on their upcoming NES Classic Edition system. This new video was a Nintendo Minute! Kit and Krysta show off the system and a couple of the games. The video and my impressions of what they showed are below. The NES Classic Edition system is coming on November 11. This new system, for those who don’t know, is a smtaller version of the original NES system. It does not use carts like…

Don’t feed them after midnight! The Gremlins, Gizmo and Stripe, will be coming to Lego Dimensions. A newly released video introduces them. A new “Meet That Hero” video of Lego Dimensions was released today on Youtube. In the video, a character I know nothing about named Marceline the Vampire Queen (Adventure Time), introduces everyone to some Gremlins. The two Gremlins are Gizmo and Stripe. I know both these characters because I have seen the Gremlins movies. I suppose the purpose…

I wanted to do something different for this More Thoughts From Me. I decided I wanted to hear what my readers thought and what questions they had for me. So I put the word out for some questions. I didn’t get very many responses at all. Thankfully, though, GamesReviews.com’s Adam Roffel and a friend of mine, Jess Carder, gave me some questions to answer and so this column isn’t blank or full of made up questions. Let’s see what questions…

Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure is an action adventure platformer for the 3DS eshop. We’ve seen a few games like this on 3DS but what makes Gurumin different is that it is a fully three dimensional game and more like something we’d see from a retail game. In fact, Gurumin 3D seems like a game that fans of Mario and Zelda would like, but is that true? Is Gurumin 3D a fun addition to the 3DS eshop? The story in…

In the second part of our Paper Mario: Color Splash Review-in-progress, we talked about the game’s battle system. Today I want to talk about the exploration aspect of the game and briefly about the game’s music! Here we go! In Paper Mario: Color Splash, you will be going to a lot of places. The world map in Color Splash is huge! There were people who didn’t like that you had a Mario level style world map like Sticker Star. Of…

Nintendo released a special demo for Pokemon Sun/Moon today on the 3DS eshop. We have a trailer for the demo below, plus my thoughts on the demo. A special demo of Pokemon Sun/Moon was released on the Nintendo 3DS eshop today. I decided to download the demo and see what all the fuss was about. Warning: I’m not a Pokemon fan (though I did like Pokken Tournament a lot), so I’m not as excited about this game as other people…

In Part 1 of our Paper Mario: Color Splash Review-in-progress, we examined the writing and graphics of Color Splash. In today’s part 2, I want to look at the game’s battle system. Color Splash uses cards instead of stickers and while the battle system is turn-based, it is also very different from Sticker Star or any of the other Paper Mario battle systems. The most important question is: is the battle system any good? In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a…

I liked the first Disney Magical World because it was one part sim, one part action game, with a dash of rpg and tons of Disney magic. There was just so much to do in the game. And today its sequel, Disney Magical World 2, is out! We have the details below, plus a trailer for the game! Disney Magical World 2 is now available for the 3DS in retail stores and on the 3DS eshop. This new Magical World…
