We recognize that there are a lot of smartph...

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XOBs5t3YGU[/youtube] One of the many things that’s sorely missing from the Wii U library is a return of a one Samus Aran.

While I was speaking to him, a child came up behind and grabbed the 3DS from the table, im...
Nintendo’s official website adds “The Reviews Are In” page
This morning I was surprised and intrigued by the appearance of a new, rather vague, page on Nintendo’s official site called “The Reviews Are In.” Clicking on it, I found it’s another attempt by Nintendo to generate interest in its Wii U and Nintendo 3DS gaming systems. The page has a simple black/gray background with various quotes and scores plucked from Wii U/3DS game re...

Weekend Discussion: The Embarrasing Side Of Zelda Lore
Whether we admit it, or not, there is a dark side to the Legend of Zelda that is stored away within an unbreakable pot.

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnD3W9qI0iM[/youtube] Despite many attempts to erase their existence (As Hyrule Historia did by excluding them from the timeline), we have to admit that th...
