Mario

When Nintendo isn't developing some kind of Mario title for their flagship consoles, you know there is a problem. Thankfully, no problem currently exists as a slew of Mario related titles either received major updates, given release dates, or were formally announced during the Nintendo Direct. From new content in Mario Tennis Aces, to a release date for Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story, to a formal announcement for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, there was a lot for Mario fans to be excited about, going right into 2019!

A Super Smash Bros Ultimate Nintendo Direct was livestreamed earlier today. I wasn’t expecting much out of this to be honest. By the end of this Direct though, my jaw was on the floor. Check out the Direct below and then come back to hear my impressions of this one. Warning: there will be spoilers for the Nintendo Direct! Simon Belmont is coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate?! This awesome reveal was just the beginning of the Smash Bros Nintendo…

As it turns out, the wait wasn’t so long! There will be a Nintendo Direct this week thats all about Super Smash Bros Ultimate. What will we see during this live Nintendo Direct? What characters and stages will be revealed? Tune into the Super Smash Bros Ultimate…

Mario Tennis Aces is hitting the Nintendo Switch at the exact right time, about half a year before Nintendo's next major multiplayer title - Super Smash Bros Ultimate - and just a few months before Nintendo's paid online access take affected. And this timing is incredibly important, because despite its shortcomings on single player content, Mario Tennis Aces is setting itself up to be one of Nintendo's better online offerings in recent memory. With the promise of a robust online system, Mario Tennis Aces is about to hit the next level.

Mario Party is back, channeling the original titles focus of board game playing, and ditching the recent team concept. And I’m all for it! For a whole console generation now, Mario Party as a franchise has been on a steady decline. Both Mario Party 9 on the Nintendo Wii and Mario Party 10 on the Nintendo Wii U, ditched the concept of individual play, and instead put players together in a vehicle. For players who had been fans since Mario Party 1, this was a letdown, and enthusiasm for the franchise waned.

The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular systems right now. And Nintendo is bringing Smash Bros Switch to E3 this year and releasing the game this year too. So what else do you need? Does Nintendo actually need anything else? I think a lot of people would just be happy if they showed a lot of Smash Bros and nothing else. But…Nintendo won’t be happy with just Smash Bros this E3. Oh no. And while Smash will get…

The Donkey Kong DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is almost ready for everyone to enjoy, and gameplay video has begun popping up all over the internet. As we had mentioned earlier when posting about Abdallah's Developer Interview, Abdallah was flown to Ubisoft HQ in the Unied States and was able to capture gameplay of 5 levels from the new DLC.

There was a Nintendo Direct today and as the title says “It was awesome.” How was it awesome? Did you even watch that Direct? If you didn’t, check it out below and come back for my thoughts on what was shown. Today’s Nintendo Direct is the best one we’ve had for awhile. I was amazed by so many of the things we’ve saw. First of all, I am a huge Warioware fan. So the announcement of a new Wariorware game…

A Nintendo Direct was rumoured for today but Nintendo never made an official announcement for it. I was starting to have my doubts that we’d see a Direct. As it happens, we did get a Nintendo Direct! You can check it out below along with my initial impressions of it. I’m not going to hide my opinion here: I was disappointed with this Nintendo Direct Mini. Yes, I do think it was partly because the Direct was so hyped and…
