For older Nintendo fans, Space World 2000 is one of the most pivotal moments in the company’s history. The event where Nintendo not only unveiled the GameCube to the public but showcased Super Mario 128 and some ridiculously high-quality 3D renders for a Legend of Zelda prototype, Space World 2000…
Across Nintendo’s vast reach, Mario has quite a few unique games under his belt. While most people tend to focus on the main series entries, there’s many games that fly under the radar for one reason or another. One such oft-forgotten title is Super Mario Run.

Here w-, here w-, here we go! So they’re finally here, performing for…. Wait, wrong game. Cue Cranky Kong and his wind-up phonograph. For those of us who aren’t quite old enough to have experienced the old school arcade cabinets in their glory days, Donkey Kong Country may very well…

At first glance, Super Punch-Out!! would appear to be the second game in the Punch-Out!! series. Sure, Mike Tyson’s name was dropped when jumping from the NES to the SNES and the graphics were a major upgrade; yet, if you spent free time at the local arcade, you already know…
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. Publisher Arc System Works and developer Technos aren’t going to forget the franchise’s past, however, and have announced Kunio-kun World Classics Collection for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One…
Over the weekend we reported on an updated version of the NES game “Golf” hidden away on each and every Nintendo Switch system. Now the internet has discovered how to unlock it and it turns out to be perhaps the most touching Easter egg in video game history. To start…

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…
