Today Nintendo had a Direct. It was “roughly” a 60 minute Direct. It went a little bit over an hour. I have some thoughts on the Direct: the Mario of it all, the shocks, and of course some disappointment. Here we gooooo. Can we just talk about Mario first? I think we should talk about Mario. Today’s Nintendo Direct had a large segment on Mario. It lasted around 20 minutes. Honestly I felt like that was a bit too much…

Oh my goodness. Now that was a Nintendo Direct!! Let’s talk about it. Wow! I can’t believe how amazing that Nintendo Direct was. It was the best Direct we’ve had in….. awhile for sure. Let’s start at the start: a brand new Mario and Luigi game! Oh wow. I wasn’t expecting that. It looked wonderful too. I can’t wait to play that. There were plenty other surprises too. Denpa Men is returning. I never would’ve thought that. Its going to…

This has been a really amazing year for video games. I didn’t get to play everything but I played a lot of games. Here are my top ten favorite games of 2023! 2023 was such an amazing year for video games. A lot of cool games came out this year. I didn’t get to play them all. You may even notice that Super Mario RPG and Pikmin 4 are not on this list. I didn’t get to play them. I…

Metroid Dread is the first, brand new 2D Metroid we've seen since the Gameboy Advance. Is Dread any good? What will long time fans think? What will new fans think? Here is our review of Metroid Dread for the Nintendo Switch!

If you’ve ever played a Metroid game before, then you’ll grasp the controls right away.…

One of the biggest surprises of E3, in my opinion, was Metroid Dread. I know it was rumored and speculated that Nintendo might do a 2D Metroid game before Prime but honestly I did not think that would happen. And if they did, I thought it would just be a remake like Samus Returns was. Instead, we are getting a full blown Metroid 5. Let’s talk about it! I still can’t believe Metroid 5, aka Metroid Dread, is on the…

Let’s admit it: E3 2021 hasn’t been great. And today’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t world changing but it was pretty good. Time to talk about Nintendo! Today’s Nintendo Direct is over! As I write this, the Nintendo Treehouse is airing and its showing…METROID DREAD. Yes a new Metroid game was shown during the Nintendo. And its a 2D Metroid game. Without a doubt, this was the most shocking part of the Direct. Yes, a 2D Metroid was rumored and speculated about…

We still have a few weeks to go but I figured, hey, why not start my crazy E3 predictions!? Today I’ll throw out some never-will-this-happen Nintendo E3 predictions, next week will be Sony, and right before E3 I’ll talk about Microsoft and third parties. Let’s a goooooo! Nintendo has not officially announced their E3 plans yet (unless they do and I have to rewrite this). So I am going to guess their plans… On the Thursday or Friday before E3…

Having played video games for well over 30 years, some experiences stick in mind more than others. Some you can play through and put down and move on to the next thing. Some games become habit-forming and become part of a routine like Fortnite or Warzone. And then there is Returnal a game that has stuck with me so much that I literally had nightmares about it last night after playing. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. Returnal is…

Nintendo just announced that it has purchased Next Level Games, the developers behind titles like Luigi’s Mansion 3, Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon, and the Super Mario Strikers series. Nintendo’s announcement says the deal is expected to be concluded in March, and “will serve to secure the availability of NLG development resources for Nintendo.” NLG’s history of working directly with Nintendo dates back to the studio’s earliest days when it released Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube in 2005.
