Halo: Master Chief Collection has gone gold according to 343 Studios, which means Xbox One owners will be able to pre-download the title later today. If you have been eagerly anticipating the game, it's only a few short weeks away! There are a number of things to take note of, however, that could impact what you get on day one.

I almost - note I said almost - regret purchasing my Xbox One last month. I love Assassins Creed and probably would have bought the new Assassins Creed Xbox One bundle on day one. It is a fantastic value that should appeal to a number of people who are yet living in a world without an Xbox One (Who wants to do that!).

Nintendo is taking another step in the right direction this week as they begin to roll out new purchasing options for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS owners. At this time, it is strictly available in North America, although I suspect the feature to launch in Europe soon. Essentially, Nintendo owners can now do almost everything Xbox and PS4 owners have been able to do for years when it comes to purchasing games via a computer or smart phone.

It's not an opinion. It is a fact. Nintendo's brand has taken series blows over the years, and the company now sits in spot 100 out of 100 when it comes to the worlds most valuable brands. Many analysts predict that Nintendo won't even make the list in 2015.

Being avid gamers, we have all watched in awe as the industry we love has grown to epic proportions over the past few decades. Most of us are still entranced by the look and feel of video games today, and at each and every E3, we marvel at the games we can and will be playing in the future.

A few month ago, I looked at Rare developed titles that should be re-released. A few weeks after that, I examined two Mario titles I would like to see again with updated visuals. It has been a busy few months for Nintendo, and I've finally found the time to work on my Nintendo HD series once again. This week, its time to look at Nintendo's second largest franchise: The Legend of Zelda

I'm kidding. Smash Wii U will be a fantastic title and completely worth the purchase, but I'm personally worried that Captain Toad is going to get overlooked since it will be released after a Nintendo giant. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is coming, and from the newest trailer, he isn't coming alone. If my memory serves me right, we haven't seen Toadette in a adventure game since Paper Mario on the GameCube. She's back, and appears to play an important role in the games story.

DLC is definitely a hot topic since it began being a thing. Nntendo was always on record saying DLC was not something they would be interested in doing. Their philosophy was that they were giving consumers what they paid for: the game, the COMPLETE game, that was developed. That philosophy has gone straight into the garbage can, however, as Nintendo realizes the benefits of having DLC: Mario Golf: World Tour, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart, Hyrule Warriors, and more are going to nickle and dime you for months after release.

There are quite a lot of casino games offered for you to play that can enable you to get to various levels of excitement and enthusiasm. New gaming sites seem to pop up from nowhere and they now proliferate in the Internet. How did casino games manage to translate its popularity in the real-world to global excitement in the virtual world?

Nintendo has hit its stride in the last month and they continue the success with more announcements today, including 3DS Smash Bros sales numbers, and release dates for upcoming games and Amiibo figures.
