Mario

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…

When Nintendo announced the NES Classic Edition system, my jaw as on the floor. The system was such a surprise! Nintendo told us some things about the system when they revealed it, like what games would be on the system, but they didn’t tell us everything. And now, Nintendo has released more information about the system. We have a trailer, press released, and my thoughts on the system below! The picture presented above is the NES Classic Edition’s main menu!…

I had never played Minecraft before. I had heard about the game and I had seen previews of it, but being an exclusive Nintendo gamer, I hadn’t had the chance to play it. Of course I had played some of the countless Minecraft clones that have come to the Wii U and 3DS. But now, Nintendo has given Games Reviews a review code of Minecraft Wii U and I am tasked with reviewing the game. Before the review though, I…

The rumors continue to swirl regarding the Nintendo NX, and lately these rumors have revolved around what type of launch lineup we might see. I think a fair assumption would be that we will see the new Legend of Zelda game get a release on both the Wii U and the Nintendo NX, similarly to what was done with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the GameCube and Wii. However, rumors of other titles are not as appealing, at least not to me. Many have talked about re-releases of Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, and other Nintendo Wii U greats, alongside some ...

Mini Mario and Friends is a new entry in the Mario & Donkey Kong puzzle franchise. It plays similar to previous entries in the series, but this time you’ll need an amiibo if you want to play the game. I got a copy of this game thanks to a friend! Here are my first impressions of Mini Mario and Friends.

Nintendo in Canada has some great deals this Black Friday and you will notice similar prices and products available in the United States. You getting your hands on one or many of these bundles will be determined by how much work you are willing to put in and how many hours you are willing to wait out in the snow and cold! 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!

Although Nintendo has been pretty quiet at retail, they want to remind consumers that there is still plenty going on in the Nintendo Universe. Below is an update from Nintendo - provided by their PR company - on a few of the things happening this summer!

This is some of the most impressive gaming you'll see this year - it's also technically some of the worst. One YouTuber, NotEntirelySure, has gone out of his way to do the worst run at Mario possible - 500 points at the end of the game. What's most impressive is just how skilled he needed to be to pull this off. Prepare yourself for a few open-mouthed smiles as you watch.
