Yesterday, Nintendo of America told everyone on twitter that Super Mario Run (for mobile) would be shown on Fallon. What they didn’t tell everyone is that they’d also show the Nintendo Switch and Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild on that system. We have the footage of Super Mario Run and the Switch/Zelda below, plus my reaction to the surprise Switch demo. Nintendo surprised everyone by showing off the Nintendo Switch and showing live gameplay on Breath of the Wild…

Thomas Hopper is an indie developer for the Wii U (and other systems). He created a really good puzzle adventure game called Factotum for the Wii U. I liked it a lot.

He gave me a review copy of the game and I’ve been…

The game looked very much like a retro Harvest…

Over the holiday season, there was a little something called Black Friday. But even before Black Friday started, Nintendo had some cyber deals on the Wii U and 3DS eshops. My dad got Steamworld Heist, meanwhile, I downloaded Lego Batman 3 (it was only $9.99!). I had played the first Lego Batman and the second one too. I liked both those games, but I was not prepared for what I found with Lego Batman 3! I have played a lot…
