Should Anyone be Surprised by Nintendo NX Rumors?
The Internet is heating up today as analysts begin "informing" the public that Nintendo will begin releasing details of the NX in April or May, with a full reveal in June, likely at E3. Is this really news? Did we not all expect this to happen? I think most gamers and media individuals have been calling for an NX release in time for Holiday 2016, which I would argue runs from October onward.

Nintendo the ideal Holiday Gift?
People have actively criticized Nintendo ever since the Wii U came out a number of years ago, but the reality is that the Wii U and 3DS still might be the ideal family Video Game gift this holiday season. The reason for this? Local multiplayer, something not easily available on the Xbox One or the PS4. Even though the rumored Nintendo NX will be available next year, there are some great deals right now on the Wii U, and we should assume current game purchases will work on the new console in some way.

Sub-5.0 Scores for Mario Tennis Unwarranted
I've been playing Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for a good while now, and frankly, it is not the greatest game. However, I have been reading reviews of others, and while I agree with almost 100% of what they are saying, I'm shocked by the scores I've been seeing. Most notably for me was the 3.5 the game scored from Nintendo World Report. Now, to be fair, I agree with everything the author said in his article, and in fact, have a lot of respect for the author himself. In my own experiences with the game, however, I've come to realize that Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is the perfect example of how there is a HUGE disconnect between reviewers and consumers.
