Nintendo of America announced a Nintendo Direct for tomorrow (3/3/16). The Direct will be focused on Wii U and 3DS games from Spring until Summer.

Nintendo released a new Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess retrospective yesterday.   The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will be out for the Wii U on Friday. Nintendo released another retrospective video yesterday for the game. This time, Nintendo took a look at the game’s gameplay and dungeons.   I really loved the ability to turn into a wolf in Twilight Princess. I also thought Twilight Princess had some unique and sometimes challenging dungeons. The game wasn’t too hard…

If you have never had the pleasure of playing a Walking Dead game, and you have some interest in the television series, than you really need to get your hands on everything Telltale has published. While they are known for producing story centered games, the truth is that the Walking Dead series - Season 1, Season 2, and this latest miniseries looking at Michonne - are the best of their work. We recently got a code for the 1st episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne, and we really liked it!

Last week, Warner Bros. PR in Toronto reached out and let me know they had a number of Ninjago, LEGO Dimensions fun packs and character packs to send my way. They arrived yesterday, and my six year old son Logan lost his mind. Not only is Logan a big Ninjago fan, but he is also a big LEGO Dimensions fan. His excitement made me realize something: all of these toys-to-life games do a great job of mixing toys and video games, but none of them - Skylanders or Disney Infinity - can do it like LEGO.

Big releases from Nintendo are often coupled with great contests. Not only are the submissions great - and they really are, whether it's art, cosplay, or something else - but the prices are superb! Nintendo of Canada is currently running a contest in celebration of the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, which hits retail on March 4th, and Hyrule Legends on the 3DS later this month.

North American 3DS owners be alert! The Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale launches today in North America. I have already played it for a few hours, and things are looking pretty good. Here are a few of the things I've noted early on.

It wouldn't be a complete week of news and reviews without another video from our good friend, @OMGitsJezy. Earlier this week, Jezy took a look at the Thrustmaster Y300X headset for Xbox One. For the most part, Jezy was impressed with this headset, although he wasn't crazy about the slightly heavier weight. Regardless, check out his review below.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has been out for awhile now. Many of my online friends have stopped playing the game. I still play the game though and won’t stop until a new Animal Crossing is released. Why? Time to discuss my Animal Crossing addiction with you! Everyone in my house loves Animal Crossing. My dad has been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube version. My mom started playing the game with Wild World on the DS. I’ve been playing the…

Nintendo has extended it's Nintendo Selects program to include Wii U and 3DS titles, and they will begin hitting stores and the eShop on March 11th. If you are in the market for any of these titles, your best bet is to wait a few weeks. Nintendo is not known for discounting their titles, and don't expect to find any of there big sellers - Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc. - on this list anytime soon, if ever. However, for the time being, those that haven't played these fantastic titles will now be able to, at a much lower price.

Social games have been coming to consoles more frequently on the last few months, and Wondershot from French developer Leikir Studio continues that trend. The game walks the fine line between being great for kids and borderline enjoyable for adults. My time with the game and its few characters and modes was pretty short, but it has been the go-to for my son over the last few days. Overall, Wondershot is an adequate release on Xbox One and Steam, and one that you should at least get your moneys worth on.
