Shadow Moses like You’ve Never Seen it
Solid Snake has been on many a mission, but perhaps the fan favourite takes place in the original Metal Gear Solid. One artist has recreated some of the best moments from the game in a way you'll probably never have seen before, in a perfectly designed interactive Shadow Moses image you can explore on your own.

Lost Sonic Game Leaked
There have been so many Sonic games over the years that few of us consider the few that got away. That's probably fair, as most of them were either terrible ideas or so early in development that we'll never really know anything about them. Still, there was one that constantly got media attention, and that was the SEGA Saturn's Sonic X-treme. Now, almost 20 years after it was supposed to release, everything that was finished is finally going to see the light of day.

Super Smash Fight Pads by PDP Review
I hate aftermarket products. I always have. If what I'm gaming with doesn't have the official Nintendo seal, I'm not interested. That is how I've always been. I've always paid more for the official products; perhaps I'm stupid. After all, not every third party peripheral is garbage. I guess it is just a perception I have. When I heard and saw the Smash Bros Fight Pad from PDP games I had one though: those look cool, but they are probably just gimmicky, sub part GameCube knockoff controllers.

A Trip to Nintendo Of Canada and I Now Understand Amiibo
If you have no idea what Amiibo is or why you should be excited about it, you probably are not alone. I was in the same boat. Sure, I had seen all the videos and images, but I wasn't 100% sure what purpose they were going to serve. Obviously, it was going to be implemented with the launch of Super Smash Bros, and would be compatible with Mario Kart. Aside from that, I didn't know much else.

Nintendo is going Down the DLC on the Disc Road
Nintendo's move towards DLC has been surprisingly great. Their content is aaggressively priced, generally making it hard not to purchase it when available. I assumed the Mario Kart 8 packs would come in at 12-14$ each, but fortunately that isn't the case. What Nintendo hasn't done - until now that is - is do the number one thing gamers hate about DLC.

More Download Features coming to Nintendo Products
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about Nintendo's new download options. Most interesting was the ability (finally) to download games from a computer and push them to your Wii U. This was great, and frankly overdue. What wasn't announced at that time was a pre-download option for digital title. Apparently Nintendo is ready to deliver that as well.

Instead of posting about it on the blog, they accidentally released a video which was quickly grabbed by fans. This is for the American version of PS+, but EU users may want to start hoping for something a little meatier.
