I was never able to get an NES Classic Edition. I never will get one of those. So when I heard the rumor of an SNES Classic Edition, I dismissed it as fake. I also didn’t want it to happen because I knew what happened with the NES Classic. Of course, I was wrong. Again. Nintendo announced the SNES Classic Edition recently. I’ll tell you how I feel about the system now. I would love to have an Super Nintendo…

I never played the original Blaster Master. I had heard of the game, but I didn’t know anything about it. Skip ahead to years later and I hear the franchise is coming back in a new game, Blaster Master Zero, for the 3DS and Nintendo Switch eshops! I do not have a Switch yet, however I play my 3DS a lot and so that was the version I was interested in. I’ve played Blaster Master Zero for a bit now…

Just because something is "retro inspired" doesn't always make it good. I've played some good retro inspired games and some pretty bad ones too. For me, a retro inspired game should be like an old game but doesn't have to completely ignore modern conveniences like "save anywhere" and multiple modes of difficulty.

It was a little bulky portable that you held with two hands. The screen was green and so were all the games. The graphics would probably be too basic for most gamers these days. Back then though, it was impressive to be able to play games like Tetris, a Super Mario Bros game, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the palms of your hands. Yes, today I’m going to take a look back at the original Gameboy: the good, the…

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…

Radiantflux: Hyperfractal for Wii U isn't your typical game. It does contain some typical games, but as a whole package, Radiantflux is very odd. Is this a good odd game or a bad odd game? Please read my review to find out what I thought.

13AM Games is the creator of RUNBOW. Let me repeat that: 13AM Games created RUNBOW!! I guess you can probably tell that I really like Runbow. It was fun game. And 13AM Games has another game thats going to be coming to the Wii U and the New 3DS! The game is called Pirate Pop Plus! It will be coming to those systems this month. We have the release date, a trailer, plus my impressions of the game below. Pirate…

Like many Pokemon fans, I have been reliving the originals – Red, Blue, and Yellow – on my 3DS XL and I have been loving them. Since I’m almost done Yellow, however, my fun with Pokemon is about to be cut before the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon release later this year. Nintendo needs, and should, release more remakes, because the cost of acquiring these games themselves is very high. I recently perused eBay for used copies of various…

When Nintendo announced the NES Classic Edition, I freaked out! Ok, you already know that because of my recent More Thoughts From Me Special Edition! But I just have to say again how much I’m looking forward to this thing. And Nintendo is fueling that need even more with a new video about the system. We have the video below, plus my thoughts on it. The NES Classic Edition system is coming this November for $59.99. The system will have…
