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…

With the announcement of the 2DS, I said that I believed that the 3DS family wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

A game like this is definitely perfect for the Nintendo Switch where you can play on the big screen in HD or play it on the go. Its also…

Yesterday, there was a Nintendo Direct. The Direct covered both 3DS and Nintendo Switch titles. What did I think of the titles shown? Let’s find out! Nintendo Direct had a new format yesterday. We should talk about that first. The new list style format for Nintendo Direct worked well and had things going at a fast pace. It wasn’t too fast though. This format was definitely interesting. That said, I hope Nintendo doesn’t do this all the time. I can…

A new Nintendo Direct aired tonight. Check out the video below and stay tuned for more coverage of this Direct tomorrow.

For a long time, I've longed for the revival of Banjo and Kazooie, knowing full well that it would never happen. We got a small view of that when Nuts and Bolts released on the Xbox 360, but frankly, it wasn't the sam

Not all platformers are created easy. Do you dare take on a hard 1-bit platformer? If so, then you may be interested in this announcement. If not, then you’ve been warned.
