The obvious connection this month: the release of this new movie, which probably meant I was getting a Fantastic Beasts item. While the Magical box for November 2016 wasn't my favorite Loot Crate, the Fantastic Beasts item was amazing, and made the crate for me!

One of the complaints about the NES Classic Edition, even before it came out, was that the controller cord looked too small. Why couldn’t Nintendo just make the controller cordless? Well, Nintendo didn’t do that, but a third party developer will be releasing a wireless NES Classic controller soon! A company called 8bitdo will be releasing a wireless NES Classic controller called the NES30 Classic Edition Set on December 16th. Here is how the controller is described at Amazon: ”…

Stardew Valley, a farming sim in the vain of Harvest Moon, was supposed to come out next month on the Wii U. Yesterday, the developer announced that they canceled the game for the system. They will be moving the game to the Nintendo Switch. We have the announcement and my thoughts on it below. Stardew Valley was a game that Nintendo promoted awhile back in a big Wii U Indie video. The game looked very much like a retro Harvest…

Mario Maker on the Wii U was a huge hit, thanks to wonderful level creation tools, the Mario Challenges, and the ability to play the levels of other players from around the world. The question must be asked, however: without the ability to play the levels of others via the internet, will Mario Maker on the 3DS be as successful as it's Wii U counterpart?

Over the holiday season, there was a little something called Black Friday. But even before Black Friday started, Nintendo had some cyber deals on the Wii U and 3DS eshops. My dad got Steamworld Heist, meanwhile, I downloaded Lego Batman 3 (it was only $9.99!). I had played the first Lego Batman and the second one too. I liked both those games, but I was not prepared for what I found with Lego Batman 3! I have played a lot…

Awhile back, we heard that Nintendo and Universal would be coming together to create a Nintendo theme park area in Universal Studios.

The most frustrating thing about free to play games on mobile is that you often are left waiting. Waiting for something to build, waiting for something to replenish, or simply waiting for a task to finish. The incentive, of course, is for you to purchase items that speed up the price, using real money. Pokémon Sun and Moon has implemented some free-to-play elements into their title, but without the real money component. How well does this work? Read on to find out!

With new consoles released all the time, we’re always looking to the future. As soon as we get used to one console, there’s another in the works. Today, we’re going to get our heads out of the future, and take a look back at some of the consoles of the past. You can’t appreciate the consoles of today without knowledge of what has come before.

When you factor in the Pokefinder, petting and feeding your Pokémon, dropping your Pokémon off at various islands to do certain tasks, and of course the Festival Plaza, the game appears to confusing for the average consumer.
