Pokedex 3D review: It’s a guide…it’s an AR funhouse…it’s free!
3DS hasn’t yet become a gaming powerhouse (give it four more days), but as a portable, spectacular little science expo, it’s flat-out amazing. And Pokedex 3D is one polished, impressive freebie. Raise your hand if you’ve been ignoring Pokedex 3D since last week’s update. Yeah, I thought so. Go on, play with it…even though it’s not a game. Check out the sleek atm...
Wii U: Everything you could ever want to know
So Nintendo has spilled the beans on it’s on Wii U, but it seems that a lot of people are confused as to what that means. Will I have to buy a new console? Will the touch screen controller work with my current Wii? When can I get my hands on the darn thing? All these questions and more will be answered, just click on through!
What are some of your favorite indie games?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6pT_2E5xI0[/youtube] Tiny Wings is a clever game. Colorful. Easy on the eyes and ears. Addictive. It’s my new favorite indie game, like World of Goo and Osmos were before it. What about you? From a Nintendo fan’s perspective, what are the most memorable indie games in recent memory?
Your 2012 gaming plans according to Nintendo
E3 may be long gone, but this week Nintendo has outlined the games gamers will be gaming (see what I did there?) on Nintendo consoles in 2012. Notably absent is any mention of recent Japanese releases Last Story and Pandora’s Tower, which many gamers were hoping would help fill in the gaps until Skyward Sword and Wii U. Wii isn’t totally dead in the water though, check out Derek’...
Happy trails: Ten best Wii games remaining
Remember when consecutive vowels were the most confusing thing about a Nintendo system? Those bygone days when console names didn’t end with text messages? And U thought a remote seemed like a crazy idea. Nearly five years have passed since Nintendo launched its revolution, a small white console with a silly name that suddenly doesn’t seem quite so silly. Its pace may have slowed in re...
Poll: If you could travel back in time to any Nintendo console, which would it be?
You tell me: {democracy:150} Hat tip, Nintendo Power.
The best of the rest: E3 wrap-up
E3 has come and gone, but not without the Big 3 console makers showing the gaming public their goods. Prior to the Los Angeles show Nintendo had confirmed they were working on a new console, but E3 brought the first glimpse of the Nintendo Wii U. There was a very strong handheld presence at the show with Nintendo focusing a lot of it’s effort on it’s newly launched 3DS while Sony was s...
This game wasn’t worth $3.99 in 1989
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq9cgd00UkA[/youtube] Let alone 2011. Although it was an undeniably significant Game Boy title, Super Mario Land has never been a very good one, and the asking price of $3.99 to relive this awkward and inferior Mario misstep is absurd. As Blake said on this week’s podcast, “it’s a bad game.” What about you, Infendo? Agree with our criticisms of ...
Which of the 3DS eShop’s 350 DSiware games would you recommend?
The eShop’s initial DSiware library stretches much further than you might guess from the few dozen titles in the shop’s featured categories. Every user should scroll left to the “Search” option, set the filters to focus on DSi titles, and then…voila! Your once-starving 3DS has 350 DSi games waiting for immediate purchase and download! Of course, this is no big deal to...
Best gameplay description ever?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H50Qu000zL4[/youtube] As part of my summer-long quest to relive classic Game Boy games, I bought Final Fight One recently. Good game, as expected. What’s better is the game’s listed gameplay features. Whoever wrote these deserves a gold star.Â
Impressions: HD Experience (Zelda HD)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTkCIJGTe_U[/youtube] Although Zelda wasn’t playable at E3, the interactive HD experience was just what I needed to know that Wii U could cut the mustard graphically. It was basically just a looping video, but by pushing the touch screen buttons you could change the camera angle, change the lighting from dark to light, and change the from the televisio...
