Although the obvious big Nintendo news of the day was the announcement of Super Mario Run for iOS devices this December, a second little bit of information included in the Nintendo of Canada press release is what has be buzzing. Of course I have a love for Nintendo, and as a video game review website we definitely will be looking at Super Mario Run when it launches later this year. However, tucked away at the bottom of the press release…

I’m a huge Animal Crossing fan. I probably mentioned this before in this column. I mention it again because I want you to know that I am not an unbiased source when it comes to Animal Crossing. I love the series. I love pretty much everything Animal Crossing. So when you hear my opinion of Animal Crossing amiibo festival in this installment of More Thoughts, just remember the opinion comes from someone who it totally addicted to the franchise. A…

Nintendo has a 3DS Nintendo Direct today. In it, they announced a bunch of new 3DS games and showed off more of previously announced games! We have the Nintendo Direct below for you to look at in case you missed it or want to watch it again. Today’s Nintendo Direct for 3DS was really great. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUCcvWNRTl0 And here’s a press release from Nintendo about the Direct: “REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 1,…

Its been four years since Animal Crossing New Leaf came out and I still play the game. Every day I check my towns and try to make sure that none of my favorite villagers leave. Nintendo hasn’t had any updates or dlc for New Leaf for awhile now. Happy Home Designer was getting updates, but it hasn’t gotten any for awhile (expect for special contests on the online server). I didn’t think New Leaf would ever see another update. I…

If you love Animal Crossing at all, then you’ll want to check out a new youtube “radio” series called Animal Crossing Noir! Let me tell you all about it. The train is almost empty, expect for a man, a cat, and a monkey (who happens to be driving the train). The man has no idea how he got onto the train or where he’s heading. He thinks back a bit and realizes that he just got sucked back into…Animal Crossing!…

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…

There is only one handheld system that you actually need right now. Yes, I’m talking about the 3DS. Here’s why I bought the system and why I keep playing it.   I’m a huge fan of the Animal Crossing series. I’ve been playing the series since the first game on the Gamecube. So, when Nintendo said that there was going to be a new AC game for the 3DS, I had to have the game! I went ahead and bought…

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.

Even if it is not a bundle you want, Nintendo is promising cyber deals on the eShop as well, so expect to save up to 40% on some of your favorite Nintendo franchises!

Animal Crossing has a large, dedicated following. While we await the next true Animal Crossing game, Nintendo is wetting our appetites with a spin off title that tasks you with decorating the homes that our good friend, Tom Nook, sells. Will you be joining Nook's home selling team?
