If reviews from popular gaming websites are to be believed, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival is at best a rarely fun experience, but generally a snooze fest, legitimately. Some reviewers said they fell asleep playing this. We picked up the title over Christmas, and sure, some of what these reviews are saying is legitimate. However - and I have spoken about this in the past - it shows a disconnect between hardcore Nintendo fans and the casual audience Nintendo continues to cater too. My son Logan falls into that second category.

It is time for yet another video from our good friend Jezy. This time around, he is unboxing the Turtle Beach Recon50 which Turtle Beach was kind enough to send him. Jezy will be taking about two weeks to use the headset and work on his review, which should go live at that time.
Read MoreXbox Games Come and Go, but Nintendo Stays
The last few years have not been the greatest for Nintendo. The 3DS - while still popular - never found the success the original DS had, and the same can be said about the Wii U - more drastically - when compared to the Wii. Fans and haters will sit around for the first half of 2016 waiting on Nintendo NX news. One party getting ready for the hype, and the other looking for reasons to hate. If I am speaking honestly, the Wii U is my least favorite Nintendo console, but has some of my favorite Nintendo games. In my house, Nintendo games stay, while other ...

Read MoreOculus Rift Out of Stock
Preorders for the Oculus Rift kit went on sale this morning at 11 PM Eastern Time, and it took less than 15 minutes for the entire stock to be claimed. Shipment dates originally set for March 2016 have also been pushed back to April 2016. For those that said Virtual Reality gaming was never going to catch one, well, unless Oculus only had 5 units to sell, I would argue you are probably wrong.
Read MoreShould Anyone be Surprised by Nintendo NX Rumors?
The Internet is heating up today as analysts begin "informing" the public that Nintendo will begin releasing details of the NX in April or May, with a full reveal in June, likely at E3. Is this really news? Did we not all expect this to happen? I think most gamers and media individuals have been calling for an NX release in time for Holiday 2016, which I would argue runs from October onward.
