Despite an odd release date for a home console - March typically isn't when new consoles launch - Nintendo looks to have made the correct decision as it was announced this week that the Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console in US video game history, within a 10 month span. Released March 3rd 2017 worldwide, Nintendo has had a very successful year after a lackluster 2016, and for many gamers, have been deemed the 'winners' of 2017.

The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's greatest franchises. There have been many games that have tried to be just like the Zelda games. Some have been good clones, while others not so much. Its very rare that a game manages to be a homage to Zelda, but also has its own identity. Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King for the Nintendo Switch is a game that will make you think of one of the Zelda franchises best games, A Link to the Past, right away. Does the game manage to have its own identity too? Is it a good game?

When the clock ticks past 11:59 PM on New Years Eve and everyone celebrates a new year, its hard not to reflect on the past year, and what’s to come, whether in our personal lives, professional lives, or even our gaming lives. Nintendo easily won 2017, despite Sony having a really good showing, and although Microsoft launched a new console this year, it seems to have already sold the bulk of its units to early adopters, as sales have drastically trickled off. But what does 2018 have in store? Can Nintendo maintain - let alone build on - the successes of 2018? ...

Welcome to More Thoughts From Me #9000. Thanks for reading my column this long. Adam Roffel just got me out of the cryo unit last week and now I’m update to date on whats going on with Nintendo! Oh my god. Can you believe this new system they’ve announced? Last week, Nintendo announced their newest system: the Nintendo Freeze-1000.

I use to play 3D first person dungeon crawlers a lot during the NES era. I also got a chance to play Doom on the PC, even though I wasn’t a PC gamer. Dungeon crawlers back then were simple, yet fun. How would a game like that be now? What if a game like that now decided to go retro and create a totally pixelated first person dungeon crawler? In fact, there’s a game just like that on the Nintendo…
