Lifespeed is a New 3DS exclusive racing game and it just arrived on the 3DS eshop today. I have been playing the game for review, but my review is not ready yet. I thought that I would provide some early thoughts on the game though. Please check out my preview of Lifespeed for the New 3DS! Its not often that a racing game has a story and when it does, the story is usually something rather simple. Instead of going…

There are very few exclusive New Nintendo 3DS games, but soon, we’ll be able to add another one to the list. Lifespeed is a “futuristic flying racer” according to its developer Wee Man Studios and will be playable only on the New 3DS. Please take a look at the trailer below and stick around for more details on the game & my thoughts on it.   Here’s some information about the game (via the developers website): “One thousand years ago…

I played Dragon Quest 8 when it was on the Playstation 2. I loved everything about the game, but I never did beat it. And now Dragon Quest 8 is on the 3DS. I bought the game on the portable and have been playing it a lot. What do I think of Dragon Quest 8 on the 3DS so far? If you’ve ever been walking along in an rpg and saw a cool building or awesome lankmark on the world…

I love the idea of amiibo cards. It could be seen as a trading card game, but with characters from popular Nintendo franchises that serve a purpose in the games they represent. Nintendo has done a great job with the amiibo cards for Animal Crossing, and according to Nintendo, they will be rolling out new amiibo cards in 2017...for Mario.

VANCOUVER, B.C., Jan. 24, 2017 – After the most successful quarter of software sales in Nintendo 3DS history fueled by the record-breaking sales of the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games, the portable Nintendo 3DS system kicks off 2017 with the debut of a Pikachu-themed New Nintendo 3DS XL system, new entertaining and engaging games for the entire family, the introduction of new amiibo cards, and discounts on many popular games.

The update to Animal Crossing New Leaf has created a lot of interest in the title again. I never stopped playing the game myself, however I have been playing it a lot more since the update. I especially love the new campground that’s been added to the game. I’m a huge fan of the van animals! And so, I have to admit, I’m very jealous of the new crossover dlc that Japan will be getting next month. Next month, a…

The power of the New 3DS is truly remarkable for a handheld, and as we move towards the launch of yet another Wii U game on the 3DS console, we began to ask ourselves: What other Wii U games would we like to see on the 3DS? Let's explore a few shall we!

Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World will be coming out on the 3DS in February. However, Nintendo gave us a surprise today! A demo for the 3DS eshop was release today. Here are my thoughts on the demo. Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World looks amazing on the 3DS. From the moment I started playing the demo for the game, my jaw was on the floor. The animation and gameplay looked and played just as good as it did on the Wii…

It's not often that I say a video game is incredibly important, unless it touches on specific social issues or world injustices, but purely from a video game stand point, I think the release of Poochy and Yoshi's Wholly World on the 3DS is incredibly important for Nintendo in three specific ways: first, it highlights the desire from fans to see popular Wii U games get ported to the 3DS; second, it shows that Nintendo still has plans for the 3DS in 2017; and finally, that there are still inherent benefits of owning the NEW 3DS system over the original.

When Nintendo announced that there would be a Direct this week for Fire Emblem, I tried not to set my hopes too high. It was very likely that only Fire Emblem Warriors and maybe that Fire Emblem mobile game would be shown. This week, we found out the mobile title would indeed be shown. I was still trying my hardest not to get excited about today’s direct, however I was secretly hoping that we’d get a new 3DS game. As…
