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…

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,…

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch this week. Please take a look at the launch trailer for the game! Wonder Boy: the Dragon’s Trap is a platformer with a really charming cartoon look to it. I think the graphics look amazing. A game like this is definitely perfect for the Nintendo Switch where you can play on the big screen in HD or play it on the go. Its also…

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…

A new Nintendo Direct aired tonight. Check out the video below and stay tuned for more coverage of this Direct tomorrow. Nintendo announced a lot of dates and seasons for games coming this year for 3DS and Nintendo Switch. I will have a special More Thoughts From Me tomorrow covering this Nintendo Direct.

For a long time, I've longed for the revival of Banjo and Kazooie, knowing full well that it would never happen. We got a small view of that when Nuts and Bolts released on the Xbox 360, but frankly, it wasn't the sam

Not all platformers are created easy. Do you dare take on a hard 1-bit platformer? If so, then you may be interested in this announcement. If not, then you’ve been warned. Ratalaika Games’ upcoming platformer, 0000, is not for the faint of heart. What makes 0000 so scary…I mean…hard? Ratalaika Games announced a new 1-bit platformer called 0000. The game will be coming to the 3DS and Steam Greenlight! Here are more details about the game directly from the developer:…

Steamworld Dig 2 will be heading to the Nintendo Switch this summer. We’ll be hearing a lot about the game via the wonderful folks at Image & Form. For instance, today they released a new video answering some questions about Dig 2. You can check that video out below. Steamworld Dig 2 looks fantastic. I don’t have a Switch yet but when I do get one, I will likely grab the game for that (or pick it up on 3DS…

Recently, I heard that Sony would be discontinuing the Playstation 3 in Japan. Its amazing that it took them this long, what with the Playstation 4 doing so well. I use to own the system, but traded mine in awhile back. I still miss the Playstation 3 to this day. There were a lot of wonderful games on the system. I thought that now would be a great time to look back at my Playstation 3 memories and the games…

When I was a kid, I was watched all of the Disney Afternoon cartoons: Ducktales, Chip N’Dale, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, and more. I never did play the NES games that were released based on them. Years later, I got to play the Ducktales Remastered game on Wii U and loved it. And now a collection of the NES games has been revealed and it looks very cool. Please take a look at the following trailer and then come back for…
