Nintendo Cannot Afford Another WiiU

Rumors are rampant lately surrounding the Nintendo NX. We haven't commented on them, and don't plan to comment on them. However, we can comment on what Nintendo does next and what they will need to do to re-introduce themselves as a main stream gaming platform for everyone.

Mini Mario and Friends Early Access

Nintendo has only teased a few details about Mini Mario and Friends, but from what we have seen, it looks intriguing for a free-to-play title. Right now, Nintendo is allowing players to have early access to the game with the purchase of a qualifying amiibo at various retailers, including GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy. It really is a win-win for Nintendo. Numerous non-amiibo owners will justify the cost of a 9.99 amiibo if it means early access to Nintendo latest 'idea.'

More Thoughts From Me #13: Where Are the Real Nintendo Fans?

Every time Nintendo does a new Nintendo Direct, has an E3 event, or announces something new, the whiners come out to play.

More Thoughts From Me #12: Staying Earthbound

Earthbound is one of my favorite Super Nintendo rpgs, if not my favorite of all time. I liked the game back when I wasn’t a fan of role playing games. I’ve bought Earthbound three times now: SNES, Wii U, and New 3DS. Why do I keep coming back to this game? I didn’t like any of the NES or SNES Final Fantasy games the first time I played them. What can I say? I was young and foolish. I did,…

Formula Changing for LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens

Travelers Tales has been making LEGO games for a very long time now, and although they have their peaks and valleys, we all know that generally, they make a really solid, family friendly game. The fact that they are going to mess with the original formula for The Force Awakens game is surprising, but yet expected.
