The unique puzzle platformer is an example of another new franchise from Nintendo. And last night, Nintendo announced a third game for the character! Not only that, but a BoxBoy amiibo was announced too. Currently, these are both just for Japan, but we may see them in the West eventually. Check out the details about the…

I’m a huge fan of Mario. I love the games, especially the 2D ones, but I’m not sure why Nintendo is continuing the franchise. Yes, I know Mario is their mascot and they are not just going to suddenly give up on him, however I’m not sure what else can done with him at the moment. Super Mario Maker, in my opinion, is the ultimate Mario game. Its a Mario game that lets you create your own levels!! How do…

Last week, Nintendo posted a new video that focused on their upcoming NES Classic Edition system. This new video was a Nintendo Minute! Kit and Krysta show off the system and a couple of the games.

This new system, for those who don’t know, is a smtaller version of the original NES system. It does not use carts like…

Today I want to talk about the exploration aspect of the game and briefly about the game’s music! Here we go! In Paper Mario: Color Splash, you will be going to a lot of places. The world map in Color Splash is huge! There were people who didn’t like that you had a Mario level style world map like Sticker Star. Of…

In Part 1 of our Paper Mario: Color Splash Review-in-progress, we examined the writing and graphics of Color Splash. In today’s part 2, I want to look at the game’s battle system. Color Splash uses cards instead of stickers and while the battle system is turn-based, it is also very different from Sticker Star or any of the other Paper Mario battle systems. The most important question is: is the battle system any good? In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a…

3D action platformers seem to be making a comeback these days. For awhile, we were seeing mostly just 2D platformers, but now 3D platformers seem like all the rage. Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure for the 3DS is a 3D action platformer, but its also has rpg and puzzle elements too. The game is out now for the 3DS eshop. We received a review code for the game, however our review isn’t ready yet. We wanted to give you a…

Paper Mario Color Splash has taken a lot of flak from fans who didn’t like the previous entry in the series Sticker Star for the 3DS. Those fans said that the game looked too much like Sticker Star and they were not willing to give the game a chance to prove itself. I wasn’t a big fan of Sticker Star, but from the moment I saw Color Splash, I had the opposite reaction of those fans. I was really excited…
