I never played the original Blaster Master. I had heard of the game, but I didn’t know anything about it. Skip ahead to years later and I hear the franchise is coming back in a new game, Blaster Master Zero, for the 3DS and Nintendo Switch eshops! I do not have a Switch yet, however I play my 3DS a lot and so that was the version I was interested in. I’ve played Blaster Master Zero for a bit now…

Just because something is "retro inspired" doesn't always make it good. I've played some good retro inspired games and some pretty bad ones too. For me, a retro inspired game should be like an old game but doesn't have to completely ignore modern conveniences like "save anywhere" and multiple modes of difficulty.

With the announcement of the 2DS, I said that I believed that the 3DS family wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And now Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime has said to IGN that the system will be getting new games in 2018 also. What did Reggie say exactly? We have quotes from Reggie below! The 3DS has a great lineup of games for 2017 so far. But we haven’t heard about any 3DS games for 2018…yet! Nintendo of America president…

Last night, we reported that Nintendo would be bringing out a new system, the New Nintendo 2DS, in July. While it looks like North America will only be getting the blue/black color in NA, other regions will get some unique New 2DS designs too. For instance, Europe will be getting an Orange/White model along with the blue/black and Japan will be getting…a Bubble Metal Slime New 2DS also?! Wait, what?! Read on to find out what this Japan only (so…

Sorry people who want the Switch to replace the 3DS family of systems. The 3DS and 2DS are not going anywhere anytime soon. What’s my proof?! Nintendo just announced a brand new member of the 3DS family: the New Nintendo 2DS XL! Nintendo just released a trailer announcing a brand new 2DS system: the New Nintendo 2DS XL. As you see in the trailer above, the new system has a thinner top screen than the regular 3DS or New 3DS,…

Whenever I see a game priced at $1.99 on the 3DS eshop, I can’t help but wonder how good of a game you could get for that price. Sometimes, though, there are games that are far better than you’d expect and they are really cheap. Ascent of Kings is a New 3DS game priced at $1.99. Is it any good? Ascent of Kings for New 3DS is a cheap priced game, but it is not a bad game. In fact,…

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is coming to the 3DS in May! Check out the newest video from Nintendo, which focuses on the strategy aspects of the game. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia will be out for the 3DS on May 19th. Nintendo’s newest video about the game focuses on the Strategy aspect of the game. Battle wise, Echoes has the same turn-based strategy that the other Fire Emblem games have. However, this game also introduces fully 3D…

Yesterday, there was a Nintendo Direct. The Direct covered both 3DS and Nintendo Switch titles. What did I think of the titles shown? Let’s find out! Nintendo Direct had a new format yesterday. We should talk about that first. The new list style format for Nintendo Direct worked well and had things going at a fast pace. It wasn’t too fast though. This format was definitely interesting. That said, I hope Nintendo doesn’t do this all the time. I can…

I have mixed feelings about free-to-play (or free-to-start) games. On the surface, the idea is interesting: free to download games that you can play and if you like, you can buy more levels or items for the games. But the main problem with free-to-start games is that usually the games are too simple and/or just not that fun. I’m including Nintendo in this because I didn’t think the free-to-start Pokémon games nor Steel Diver were that good. However, if anyone…
