Preorders for the Oculus Rift kit went on sale this morning at 11 PM Eastern Time, and it took less than 15 minutes for the entire stock to be claimed. Shipment dates originally set for March 2016 have also been pushed back to April 2016. For those that said Virtual Reality gaming was never going to catch one, well, unless Oculus only had 5 units to sell, I would argue you are probably wrong.

The Internet is heating up today as analysts begin "informing" the public that Nintendo will begin releasing details of the NX in April or May, with a full reveal in June, likely at E3. Is this really news? Did we not all expect this to happen?

In my personal opinion, the last release for each - Mario and Luigi: Dream Team and Paper Mario: Sticker Star where somewhat of a let down. Dream Team was good, yes, but Sticker Star was pretty bad. Frankly, I had little hope for Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam. However, after playing it a few times at various Nintendo events, and watching a few Let's Plays on YouTube - the game has been out in Japan and Europe since December - I'm really excited for ...

Very few games now a days are really kid and adult friendly at the same time. What I mean by that is, the game is easy enough for kids to play alone, and entertaining enough for adults to participate - or play alone themselves! Peanuts: Snoopy's Grand Adventure is the PERFECT example of this. Before someone points out that Nintendo has many games that fit this build, I say yes...but no. My four year old nephew can EASILY play Snoopy's Grand Adventure, with a little bit of help from myself. My six year old son? He's beaten the game already on Xbox One, and ...
