Virtual Console

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’m a huge Animal Crossing fan. I own all of the Animal Crossing games (amiibo festival and Happy Home Designer included). The series is, without a doubt, my favorite Nintendo franchise! Awhile back, Nintendo of Europe brought Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U Virtual Console. However, there was no sign at all that they were bringing it to North America. Thats changing tomorrow when Nintendo of America brings Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U eshop. They…

One of the best RPG games ever created will launch on the North America Wii U Virtual Console today for the reasonable price of $7.99. Of all the games that Nintendo has put onto the Virtual Console, this SNES classic is by far the best. My weekend has just been lost completely, and if I didn’t have an obligation to review LEGO Star Wars, I would probably play this non-stop! Super Mario RPG was an outstanding game when it first…

When Nintendo announced 3DS re-releases of the original three Pokemon titles, I was fairly skeptical. After all, how desperately did Nintendo fans want to play a slightly improved – although very true to the original – Pokemon game from the early Gameboy days? Frankly, I was not sure how well these titles would catch on. A complete remake of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow in the style of the new titles? That would have taken off like gangbusters, in my…

Today is the 20th Anniversary of Pokemon! Are you celebrating? Nintendo released three games today on the 3DS eshop. Its a Saturday and usually nothing is released on this day. Today is special though. It is the 20th anniversary of Pokemon. The three games that were released are Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, and Pokemon Yellow. They were all Gameboy titles. Nintendo has re-released them for the 3DS and included local wireless Pokemon battles and trading! I’ve never played any of…

When Final Fantasy Tactics Advance came out on the Gameboy Advance, I didn’t play it much. My father was a huge fan of the game; he played the game over 200 hours! I loved the original PS1 game, but I just never could get into Advance. And then I got the game on the Wii U and I’m now I’m hooked! Why do I like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance so much? Let me tell you! Square Enix put Final Fantasy…

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers will all be coming to the Wii U Virtual Console this week, at least Nintendo seem to reckon so.
