Recently, I heard that Sony would be discontinuing the Playstation 3 in Japan. Its amazing that it took them this long, what with the Playstation 4 doing so well. I use to own the system, but traded mine in awhile back. I still miss the Playstation 3 to this day. There were a lot of wonderful games on the system. I thought that now would be a great time to look back at my Playstation 3 memories and the games…

When I was a kid, I was watched all of the Disney Afternoon cartoons: Ducktales, Chip N’Dale, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, and more. I never did play the NES games that were released based on them. Years later, I got to play the Ducktales Remastered game on Wii U and loved it. And now a collection of the NES games has been revealed and it looks very cool. Please take a look at the following trailer and then come back for…

Nintendo never needs to build another 2D Mario game. With the release of Super Mario Maker for the 3DS and the Wii U, Nintendo has given players the tools to build Mario levels. Why would Nintendo ever need to build another 2D Mario? In today’s More Thoughts, I’ll talk about Super Mario Maker, the future of 2D Mario, if we’ll ever see another Super Mario Maker, and I’ll share with you codes for a couple of my Mario levels! I…

Nintendo had a special Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase video on youtube today. In the video, they showed off Indie games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. We have that video here for you, plus my thoughts on some of the games and a press release from Nintendo! I thought the Nindies showcase video was fantastic! There were a lot of good looking games in that video, but there were three games specifically that stuck out to me.…

Nintendo announced today that the eshop would be available at the launch of their new system: the Switch! Not only that, but there will be some Indie games on day 1 too. We have a press release below detailing what will and won’t be available on the Switch eshop’s first day! I remember when the 3DS came out and there was no online store. It was a few months before the Nintendo eshop appeared on the system. The Nintendo Switch,…

I remember playing Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation 1 like it was yesterday. No, it wasn’t yesterday! Its been awhile since I’ve played Crash Bandicoot. For those of us who have played and for those who haven’t played it, Activision announced some exciting news today! Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, HD remasters of the original Crash games, are coming to the PlayStation 4 in June. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will come to the PlayStation 4 on June 30, 2017!…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t regret buying a Wii U. There are a ton of great games on the Wii U. I own most of them. I also really love the Wii U gamepad. It is, currently, my favorite video game controller. That said, I’m not happy at all with how Nintendo has treated the system, especially near the end of its life. Let’s take a look back at the Life and Death of…

Chicken Wiggle is a platformer coming to the 3DS eshop. Not only will it have levels of its own, but it will also feature a level editor. Please take a look at the video below and then come back for my thoughts on the editor. The Chicken Wiggle level editor looks fantastic! At first, I thought it just looked neat, but as Jools Watsham showed more of the editor’s features, my jaw stayed open. The editor will allow you to…

When Yoshi's Woolly World launched on the Wii U last year it was met with high praise, and for good reason. Graphically, it was a masterpiece; the graphics were supported by outstanding sound and the great platforming elements we've come to expect from a quality Yoshi's title. With the release on 3DS, Nintendo has brought the Woolly world to a whole new audience.
