For both of those groups, there is now something very cool on the internet. A site called archive.org has 13 years of Nintendo Power magazine online right now! When I wrote about Nintendo Power last week, I had no idea about archive.org’s…
Cost Prohibitive to Play Old Pokemon Games
Like many Pokemon fans, I have been reliving the originals – Red, Blue, and Yellow – on my 3DS XL and I have been loving them. Since I’m almost done Yellow, however, my fun with Pokemon is about to be cut before the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon release later this year. Nintendo needs, and should, release more remakes, because the cost of acquiring these games themselves is very high. I recently perused eBay for used copies of various…
More Thoughts From Me #28: Guarding Star Fox
I remember seeing Star Fox Guard back when it was just an untitled camera switching game at E3. I didn’t think it was very impressive and wasn’t sure if it was even really a game. Flash forward to the Star Fox Guard reveal from Nintendo. I still wasn’t very impressed by the game. There didn’t look to be much to it. But I couldn’t help wanting to try the game sooner or later. Nintendo gave us a demo of Star…
3Souls – Episode 1 Preview: The Wii U Gamepad Gets A lot of Use
Recently, I received a review code of a Wii U game called 3Souls Episode 1: Nelesa from the game’s developer Red Column. My review isn’t ready yet, but I thought since the game came out today that a preview was in order. What do I think of 3Souls so far? Here are my early thoughts! I’m always complaining when indie developers don’t use the Wii U gamepad much. I love Off-TV play, but there’s so much more that you can…

Darksiders 2 for the Wii U is really good. If you like action games with dash of Zelda exploration and puzzles, then you should definitly check it out. Though, you might be wondering if the first game is any good. I have no idea since the game isn’t on the Wii U. That will change soon though!

FAST Racing NEO Will Race To Wii U Retail Stores Later This Year
I’ve never played FAST Racing NEO. I like F-Zero a bunch and I thought the previews looked good for the Neo, but I just haven’t got around to playing the game yet. So, the upcoming disc version of the game might be for me! In any case, its pretty exciting that the game is coming to Wii U retail stores later this year. We have some details below. Shin’en Multimedia announced today that their racing game FAST Racing NEO would…
Steamworld Dig and Steamworld Heist Will Be Coming to Retail Stores
I’m a huge fan of Image & Form’s Steamworld Dig and Steamworld Heist games. Both games are a lot of fun. That said, I’ve only played them both on the 3DS. I never did play them on the Wii U, where the graphics are in HD. I’m sure there are some people who haven’t gotten to play these games at all. If you were waiting for a retail copy of these two games, then you’re in luck! Image & Form…
RIVE Delayed For Wii U
During E3 2015 a bunch of Indie demos were released on the Wii U for people to try out. One of the games people could play was called RIVE. Two Tribes, the developer of Toki Tori, are the ones creating Rive. I played the demo and thought that the game was neat. Now, Two Tribes has announced they are delaying the Wii U version of the game and might not bring the game to the system at all. I have…
