With all the subscription companies out there, it's hard to determine which company is actually providing content that is worthwhile, and which are just providing junk. One this is for certain, however, no matter which company your are looking at: you won't ever be completely satisfied with every box you get. This is just a fact, and sometimes it has nothing to do with the quality of the product or the company sending it to you. Some months, the theme might not resonate with you. One box that I have found consistently good, however, is the Loot Wear line from ...

8 Bit is back, and we all know it. Funko Pops are cool, but they are a thing of the past. With 1000's to collect, no one has time for Funko anymore. There's a new exclusive video game collectible on the marketplace, and it is Pixel Pals. Pixel Pals - designed and released by Performance Design Products - are the ultimate in video game collectibles, with an awesome 8 bit design that looks even better when lit up.

The 3DS is one of my all-time favorite systems. I play it every single day. I’m happy that Nintendo is continuing to put out new games for it. In fact, Mario Sports Superstars is coming out next week! Nintendo released a new trailer for it today. Mario Sports Superstars is coming to the Nintendo 3DS on March 24th! I am really excited for this game. Why am I so excited for a Mario Sports game? I’m not even a sports…

Mario Kart 8 was wonderful on the Wii U. In fact, I would say it was the best Mario Kart yet! I especially loved the added Zelda and Animal Crossing DLC. And in April, Mario Kart 8 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. What makes this game the deluxe version of Mario Kart 8? Take a look at the trailer below and come back for my impressions of it. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for…

Luigi got a year but Mario gets a day every year! Nintendo will be celebrating MAR10 day tomorrow. We have a press release below that details what Nintendo has planned for the day. Everybody’s favorite plumber (sorry Luigi) has his own day on March 10th. Check out this press release from Nintendo for details on what they will be up to tomorrow. “REDMOND, Wash., March 9, 2017 – Every year, MAR10 Day (March 10, Mar. 10, MAR10 … get it?)…

Nintendo never needs to build another 2D Mario game. With the release of Super Mario Maker for the 3DS and the Wii U, Nintendo has given players the tools to build Mario levels. Why would Nintendo ever need to build another 2D Mario? In today’s More Thoughts, I’ll talk about Super Mario Maker, the future of 2D Mario, if we’ll ever see another Super Mario Maker, and I’ll share with you codes for a couple of my Mario levels! I…

The NES Classic Edition has been rare since day one. I couldn’t get one then and I still don’t have one now. I had the money at day one, but don’t have that now so couldn’t buy one even if I could find one. But why would I even want an NES Classic Edition? I’ve bought most of those games over and over again through the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. Heck, I use to own the original NES. So…

I think 2016 was fairly kind to Nintendo, despite the understanding from both consumers and media that a new system was on the horizon that would definitely kill off the Nintendo Wii U, but could also put a damper on 3DS production. Despite this news, Nintendo still managed to release a number of great titles in 2016, a few of which we gave huge scores too!

I’m a huge fan of Mario. I love the games, especially the 2D ones, but I’m not sure why Nintendo is continuing the franchise. Yes, I know Mario is their mascot and they are not just going to suddenly give up on him, however I’m not sure what else can done with him at the moment. Super Mario Maker, in my opinion, is the ultimate Mario game. Its a Mario game that lets you create your own levels!! How do…

Last week, Nintendo posted a new video that focused on their upcoming NES Classic Edition system. This new video was a Nintendo Minute! Kit and Krysta show off the system and a couple of the games. The video and my impressions of what they showed are below. The NES Classic Edition system is coming on November 11. This new system, for those who don’t know, is a smtaller version of the original NES system. It does not use carts like…
