Pokemon Generation VI Wishlist
Pokemon was a big part of my childhood. I grow nostalgic as I look back on fond memories of getting Pokemon: Blue Version for Christmas, watching the anime in the mornings before school, and scouring booster packs for the elusive Charizard card. Suffice it to say that I’m really, really, excited for Generation VI, the new set of Pokemon games due to be released on the 3DS later this year. This is ...

What games bring you the most nostalgia?
Every year around Christmas time, I boot up one of my many consoles capable of playing Ocarina of Time and give the game whirl. It has been a tradition ever since the games release in 1998. For me, there is nothing more satisfying that curling up with a blanket and walking into Zora’s Domain….especially after Ganondorf freezes over the land of the Zora’s. For me, there are so many game...

I feel that we are entering a sad era in the life of video games. Although Iwata stated that we are not yet ready for cloud based gaming, sales figures are showing that we might be heading towards the demise of physical copies of our favorite games. The latest NPD figures (2012 sales in the US) show us that downloads have become more convenient and popular that buying a physical copy of the game....

How would you change the Wii U?
Patches. Updates. Firmware. All of these words are usually met with disdain for gamers, as usually they go hand in hand with lengthy downloads and/or broken features that need fixing. With the latest Nintendo Direct, we learned that the Wii U would receive not just one, but two firmware updates in the next couple of months. Although the update will indeed take away from our precious game-time, let...

Would You Play Your 3DS Games On Your Wii U?
What if you could play your 3DS games on your Wii U? Would it appeal to you? David Delisle knew the possibility was out there. The Game Pad would act as the bottom touch screen, and the TV would act as the top screen. So, he developed a device that he calls the EDS.
