Last night, Nintendo updated the Switch. Most of the time, the updates add very little but this time we got a pretty big update! The most noticeable change is a new addition to the Switch menu: a red icon amongst the other icons like the News channel and the photo collection. What do this new icon do? What do I think of it? Let’s talk about it! The newest addition to the Nintendo Switch’s menu is a Nintendo Switch Online…

Donkey Kong Country is on the Nintendo Switch Online Service now (via the SNES app) and so I thought it was finally time to talk about the game. What’s it like playing DKC again? What’s my best memory of the game? When I was much younger, during the SNES era, I was a huge fan of Donkey Kong Country. The first game in the series. I never did play the second or third one back then (still haven’t played the…

Last night, Nintendo announced some new games coming to Nintendo Switch online’s NES and SNES lineup this month. Check out the video for previews of the games and then please come back for some thoughts on them. Star Fox 2, Super Punchout, Kirby Super Star, and Breath of Fire 2 are coming to the SNES Switch online lineup on December 12. Journey to Silus and Crystalis are coming to the NES lineup on the same day. Star Fox 2 made…

Star Fox has gotten a few installments. Nothing like the Mario franchise. Not even like the Metroid franchise. Its gotten more games than Earthbound anyway (what game hasn’t). But in my opinion, there has only been one great Star Fox game and thats the first game. Now its available on Nintendo Switch. Does this game still hold up? The first Star Fox game is the best Star Fox game. Yes, Star Fox 64 was pretty good. Star Fox 2, which…

I was going to write Batman: Arkham Knight for this entry of More Thoughts. Then I discovered…I did not like Batman: Arkham Knight. So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

The first time I played Chrono Trigger…I didn’t like it. This was back during the SNES days and I didn’t like rpgs back then, with the expectation of Earthbound. It wasn’t until I played Final Fantasy 7 that I got addicted to rpgs and after that, I got a chance to play Chrono Trigger on the Playstation 1 and I loved it. Now Chrono Trigger is one of my all-time favorite games. If you’ve played the game, I hope you…

I never did get the NES Classic Edition. Nintendo released a limited stock of those systems and they sold out as fast as they came in. And now Nintendo is doing it again. The Super NES (SNES) Classic Edition has been announced. We have more details, including what games will be in the system, below. The Super NES Classic Edition has been announced. Nintendo of America has priced the system at $79.99, and the system will retail in Canada for…

Castlevania, the classic Konami franchise, has been around for awhile now. I hear its the game’s anniversary this year too. 30 years was it? I can’t remember. Thats not why I decided to talk about the series though! The reason I decided to talk about this series is because its October and that means Halloween coming up. And Castlevania is a great game to play around this time of the year. I want to tell you about my favorite Castlevania,…

I’ve bought Earthbound three times now! I bought it when it first came out on the SNES, I bought it when it came to the Wii U, and now I’ve bought it on the New 3DS. The game arrived on the New 3DS today! Will you be picking it up? Earthbound came out on the New 3DS eshop today in North America. The game is also available on the Wii U. Nintendo has been giving the Earthbound games a lot…

I still own Star Fox for the SNES. I never did own Star Fox 64 on the 64 because I didn’t have that system. I did buy the game on the Wii however and played the 3DS remake of the game! I’m a huge fan of the Star Fox franchise, especially when its a full on spaceship shooter. In a new video, Nintendo UK took a look at the History of Star Fox. We should do that too! I’ll tell…
