Looking good. More photos after the break.
Remixed Kirby looks sharp on eShop
Aren’t Nintendo holiday seasons great? The first-party fun kicked off last week with the amazing Freakyforms, continued through the masterpiece Super Mario 3D Land, added a 3D Kirby (well, 3D 2D) today, and continues steamrolling toward Skyward Sword this Sunday and Mariokart 7 in December! Not to mention that there should be some announcement very soon about those ten free GBA games for Amb...
Zelda Skyward Sword: Best dungeons ever?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZsK69PtuZ0[/youtube] Not quite halfway in and Zelda: Skyward Sword is already trending as one of my favorite Zeldas ever. Depending on how it pans out ’ and I’m definitelly in it to win it ’ I’d rank it on par with A Link to the Past, Ocarina, Wind Waker, and Minish Cap’my current favs. It’s certainly more inventive and better than Twiligh...
Nintendo goes 7 of 8 on consoles: Newest Zelda latest to reach upper ’90 rating
With exception to Zelda II, the black sheep of the series, Nintendo has never released a Zelda game for consoles that went on to score less than a 95 in aggregate reviews. In fact, seven of a total eight console Zeldas have scored a rare 95 average or higher. Skyward Sword for Wii, currently at 95/100, is no exception. Simply put, the game is worthy of its nominally hot score. It’s quickly ...
Nintendo partnering with EA for Wii U online?
Nintendo knows online multiplayer as well as Microsoft knows original games. In other words, not much. Which is why the former is reportedly working with EA to have them power Wii U’s online multiplayer and digital distribution. “An anonymous source, claiming to be working within Electronic Arts, says that the company is in talks to make Origin, EA’s digital games distribution pl...
Super Mario 3D Land Review: The plumber still amazes
What a relief! After months of waiting, Mario’s arrived on 3DS with all cylinders firing. Super Mario 3D Land isn’t just a good portable Mario game; it’s one of the very best Mario adventures, topped only (for me, anyway) by SMB3 and Galaxy 2. Sharp, ingenious, and fun beyond belief, this game’s a feast for Mario fans as it pays tribute to characters and locales from the fr...
Mario arrives today!
The reason many of us bought a 3DS in the first place goes on sale in North America today! I’m off to pick up my copy, along with (hopefully) the Tanooki Mario keychain that was part of the preorder deal. Anyone else jumping down a green pipe today? Were any of you lucky enough to attend the event in NYC and pick up your copy early? Did this convince anyone to actually buy a 3DS this afterno...
Review: Freakyforms is joyous, crazy and addictive
Freakyforms is one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played. That recommendation comes with a warning, however, for my tastes often veer far from mainstream gaming. This is a plotless, easygoing game that’s all about creating and collecting. It’s got a relaxed, happy Animal Crossing vibe and your time with Freakyforms will be evenly split between the amazing creation tools an...
Freakyforms first impressions: Wow. Buy this thing!
My wait for Mario’s upcoming game just got a little more bearable, because for the last two hours I’ve been unable to tear myself away from Freakyforms, a brand-spankin’ new Nintendo property that just hit eShop for $6.99. It’ll be a little while before I can write a review, because this is the kind of game that starts you off with limited options and keeps growing the more...

Charging forward–After 3D Land, what kind of plumber platformer would you like to see?
Just three days to go before the Mushroom Kingdom takes over your 3DS! After that, we still have Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, and a new Super Smash Brothers to look forward to. And then… Where would you like to see Nintendo take Mario for his next platform adventure?
