Fire Emblem Fates comes out on February 19th in North America. There has been much controversy lately on Nintendo’s editing on the two games. We have thoughts on that, plus check out two new commercials of the game! Nintendo won’t let us have our petting mini-game in Fire Emblem Fates! Wait a second. What? Yes, in Japan, Fire Emblem Fates had a mini-game where you pet character’s faces. The mini-game, supposedly, made you grow closer to your allies. But this…

My six year old son Logan loves video games, and is falling into step with his dad nicely in that regard. He likes Mario, he likes Animal Crossing, and he loves the odd family friendly game on my Xbox One. Last night, I found him curled up in his bed - after hours mind you - playing Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam. Despite my frustrations with him A) sneaking my 3DS into his bed, and B) still being awake at 10:30 at night, I couldn't help but ask him what he thought.

Nintendo has just released a new Nintendo Minute featuring footage from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Kit and Krysta, the hosts of Nintendo Minute, also show off the Wolf amiibo that comes with the game. Check out the footage below and let us know what you think of Twilight Princess HD in the comments!

Paper Mario games are great, although have been trending downwards since the release of The Thousand Year Door on the GameCube. The last release, Sticker Star, was lackluster to say the least, borrowing heavily from the 2D Super Mario games heavily by removing the ‘open world’ and replacing it with Worlds and Levels, i.e. World 1-Level 1. On the other hand, Mario and Luigi games have always been strong titles, and even Dream Team – despite its various faults and pacing issues – was still an excellent release. I have to assume that Paper Mario fans were ...

Every single game needs a story. I’m not saying that every video games has a story as it is obvious that not all of them do. What I’m saying is that every video needs a story and should have it. Let’s take a look at a few examples, shall we? Shooter? Give it a story. Otherwise, its just your typical space shooter. Life sim? Look at Animal Crossing. You move to a small town full of animals and have to…

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.

I know you have questions. You’re probably thinking: there were other thoughts from you? And, wait, just who the heck are you? My name is Daniel Fugate. I’m a writer, reviewer, and blogger. As a blogger, I’ve written my More Thoughts From Me column for awhile now. Never heard of it? I’m not surprised! My readership at that blog is…pretty low… But, you know, its nice to have a reader that believes in you. Games Review’s Adam Roffel said he…

Mario and Luigi titles have been one of my favorite Mario franchises. My other favorite franchise? Paper Mario. In my personal opinion, the last release for each - Mario and Luigi: Dream Team and Paper Mario: Sticker Star where somewhat of a let down. Dream Team was good, yes, but Sticker Star was pretty bad. Frankly, I had little hope for Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam. However, after playing it a few times at various Nintendo events, and watching a few Let's Plays on YouTube - the game has been out in Japan and Europe since December - I'm really excited for ...
