Check out these new offerings from Nintendo, and let us know if you plan on picking any of them up!

Yesterday, Nintendo released a demo of Hey Pikmin! on the 3DS eshop. I downloaded the demo and played it. Today I want to give you my impressions. Is the Hey Pikmin! demo any good? Hey Pikmin! is a different take on the Pikmin franchise. Normally, Pikmin is firmly in the real time strategy genre. Hey Pikmin! changes up the formula. The demo of Hey Pikmin! (out now) includes three levels for players to check out. These levels place this game…

Nintendo generally always has a good pulse on what the audience thinks about their products, and often will adjust course to meet those high expectations. I strongly feel like that is why we got the Nintendo Switch when we did, and also the reason why Nintendo continues to support the 2DS and 3DS despite the Switch beginning to encroach on that on-the-go Nintendo territory. We know all about the Switch and what support it has, but what about the 3DS. Well, for those fans, things are looking incredibly bright.

Here are our points for why Nintendo gets the shiny trophy for this year! Launched the Nintendo Switch – Everyone was pretty skeptical of what Nintendo…

Hey! PIKMIN comes out on July 28th for the 3DS. Nintendo UK has released a new trailer for the game today. Please check out the trailer and then come back for my impressions of the video. Hey! PIKMIN looks fantastic. The graphics look great and there appears to be a lot of strategy to the game. The different types of Pikmin look really cool and will come in handy for puzzle solving, defeating enemies, and collecting stuff. My favorite moment…

Kirby is back! The pink puffball wonder has a game out today-Kirby’s Blowout Blast for the 3DS eshop. Check out the launch trailer below! Kirby’s Blowout Blast is now available for the 3DS eshop. The game costs $6.99. There are 25+ stages in the game! That’s not a lot of stages, but that’s pretty good for a download game. And $6.99 is a good price for Blowout Blast. It looks like a fun game! Will you be picking up Kirby’s…

I had asked for Ever Oasis for my birthday. I didn’t think I’d get to play it until then. But sometimes, twitter finds a way. This time, I found a wonderful person on twitter who was giving away Ever Oasis for the 3DS. I got a digital code for the game and downloaded it! And I’ve been playing it a lot ever since. What do I think of Ever Oasis? Read on to find out! I have more than 25…

The Indie games love to include crossover characters. Just look at Runbow. Please, go ahead and look at Runbow. I’ll wait. …. Are you done yet? Alright. My point is that you’ll find Shantae and Shovel Knight (and others) in a lot of games that are not from the people who created them. And soon you’ll be able to add one more game to the list. Shantae and Shovel Knight are coming to Blaster Master Zero soon! Shantae will join…
