Watch Ocarina of Time imagined as a Broadway musical
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgHXaCO5wbE[/youtube] Anyone who owned a Nintendo 64 knows that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a timeless classic to many (I personally find Majora’s Mask to be the superior title), but what if it were it turned into a 16-bit musical? Well, you get this three and a half minute number set to Koji Kondo’s memorable score that runs through ...
Nintendo DS to Get Thundercats!
Announcement of new games is always exciting, regardless of the title. It shows that there is forward moving progress within the Console developers as well as the game developers. With E3 fast approaching, and many other conferences already taking place, we are getting a glimpse of things to come. The multitude of new games and toys is sure to be mind blowing and surreal. We are sure to see so...
Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 – the Plot Thickens (Maybe)
Pokémon fans have a lot to think about lately. Black and White Versions are no doubt still getting good workouts (I know my White Version is), Pokémon Conquest is on the way next month, and Black 2/White 2 hit in Japan this June with an autumn release for the U.S. As if we don’t have enough on our plates to keep us satisfied, Junichi Masuda (GameFreak’s Game Director) recently advised ...
The Life of Video Gamers: A Mockumentary
Work has been pretty busy for me the last few days, and I have had little time to focus on anything else, but today I decided that I needed to take a much needed break and browse the world of the interwebs. While sipping my coffee and wasting time on Youtube, I found the below video that was posted by RunTrainEntertainmen. The video is a short mockumentary on the life of a gamer. It hits on some...
Review: Why Xenoblade Chronicles deserves a trip into GameStop
There’s no doubt, playing Xenoblade Chronicles is like having a second job. I put over 90 hours into the game and still could have gotten more out of it. If you’re worried about not getting your money’s worth for the game, I paid $70+ just to have an import copy, and the game was worth every dollar. Fear not RPG fans, Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most refreshing experiences...
Could Wii U Launch with Super Mario Bros. 4?
Nintendo has now confirmed that it is working on a 2D Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U based around the “Mario Experience” demo presented at E3 last year. At the same time, speculation is running wild that this game may be related to the supermario4.com domain recently registered by Nintendo. If the game is already well underway, could Nintendo be returning to those magical days when a new sys...
Final Fantasy I: Victory is Mine!
Final Fantasy 1 has always held a special place in my heart. It was the second RPG I played on the NES (first being Dragon Warrior) and the first that I really spent time leveling up and focusing on the game. With Dragon Warrior, I hurried through. I was new to the world of RPG’s and did not really know what I needed to do. I can remember spending about a week fighting a Rock giant (I th...
Analyst says Nintendo is to blame for declining video game sales. Huh?
With video games sales in the United States starting to take a tumble, Doug Creutz of Cowan and Company offered his two cents as to why this is happening: Nintendo is to blame. Creutz states: “Everybody needs to realize that the Wii software segment is trending down 50 percent year over year, and has been for the last 12 months. That is a massive decline. There’s no way you could not have a declin...
The History of Nintendo, The Musical
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR5DaYuDWYs[/youtube] To celebrate their 400th comic strip, Brawl in the Family creator Matthew Taranto put together a wonderful and well-thought out musical number chronicling the long history of Nintendo as a special gift to his fans. At just under four minutes, Taranto drew, wrote, and sung the entire piece that highlights Nintendo’s humble beginnin...
Miyamoto Jealous That He Didn’t Invent Angry Birds, Maybe a Time Machine Will Be His Next Project?
Shigeru Miyamoto has a lot to be proud of. He created some of the most beloved video game characters in the universe, yet he has one regret. He wishes that he had invented Angry Birds. How can such a simplistic mobile game create a hint of jealousy when you are the father of such iconic characters such as Zelda/Link, Donkey Kong and Mario? Now Miyamoto did not actually say the word “jealo...
Can Wii U’s Hardware Live Up to Nintendo’s Third Party Aspirations?
Reports have been coming in for awhile now about the Wii U development kits, and it seems that most developers feel that the console will have around the same power as the 360 and PS3. Some say it is a bit more powerful, some say it is a bit less, but it’s starting to sound like the Wii U will not offer a significant graphical advantage over the next round of consoles from Microsoft and Sony. If N...
