We’re but a month away from the return of one of the Gamecube’s best and most beloved – Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Even as a remake the return of partners, badges, and this grand adventure have been a long time coming. Nintendo has shared their longest look yet…
Today marks 10 years since one of my all-time favorite rhythm games, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, launched on the Nintendo 3DS. The sequel to the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Curtain Call was jam-packed with amazing Final Fantasy music, characters, and stages. Not to mention the absolutely addicting touch screen…
Sega has uploaded a new multiplayer trailer for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive installment, and it reveals something pretty cool: this latest ball-rolling romp has 16-player multiplayer. I can’t imagine how chaotic that will be when playing against brand-new players, but it seems like a…
To say that I have fond memories of Super Mario Kart is an understatement. The game came out the same year my younger brother was born, when Disney’s Aladdin would debut on movie screens, and the latest addition into the Disney Afternoon line (Goof Troop) would be on television;…
The Kunio-kun franchise, better known as River City in the west, has had something of a resurgence these past few years.

Despite taking place in the distant year of 20XX, Mega Man and I go way back. In fact, ever since my first mechanical steps as a bionic busting botling, I’ve been positively obsessed with the titular Man of Mega. I played all his games, bought most the action figures…

You can order your copy of Collection of Mana on Amazon today! I’ll never forget the sense of awe and wonder felt when first booting up Secret of Mana’s superpowered cart back in 1993. Instead of being greeted by the electronic blips and pleasant pings I’d long been…
Every once and awhile, a game comes out that absolutely pushes a console to its limits. It might be difficult in this age of stunning high definition 3D graphics and surround sound to look at a game like Star Fox and see something extraordinary, but all the way back in…
When it comes to series outside of Nintendo’s own collection of classics, there’s none I’ve spent more time on than Street Fighter. This is the game that made me love fighting games and it’s managed to maintain a presence in the world for 30 years now. While most will…
Moving out and settling into a new place away from home is something everyone needs to experience. I recently did, crossing an ocean and starting fresh in a whole new country where I didn’t know anyone in my city. As I settled into my empty apartment with only the clothes…
