Obviously, I’m very thankful for my family and wonderful friends (especially Jess Carder). And…

It's only been a few hours of in game time for me - just completed my first Island Trial - but it is obvious already that Pokémon Sun and Moon have elevated the franchise and taken it places I wasn't sure they would ever get.

More Thoughts From Me #43: We Don’t Need More Mario Games
I’m a huge fan of Mario. I love the games, especially the 2D ones, but I’m not sure why Nintendo is continuing the franchise. Yes, I know Mario is their mascot and they are not just going to suddenly give up on him, however I’m not sure what else can done with him at the moment. Super Mario Maker, in my opinion, is the ultimate Mario game. Its a Mario game that lets you create your own levels!! How do…

We won’t find out more information about the system until January though! So, until then, all we can do is listen to more rumors, speculate on whats real, and express to the world (and Nintendo) what we hope the system will be and what games we’ll find on it. Today,…
