Lamenting the loss of third party support
I know quite a few Nintendo console owners who only play first and second party titles, but consoles live or die by their third party support and the lack of support is a major problem which has afflicted Nintendo since the days of the N64 and there won’t be more support from third parties until the install base is high enough to take a chance and come out financially secure. The latest to g...

Whether it be Farmville, Bubble Witch Saga, Candy Crush, or more, Facebook has been the hub for time consuming games. Although most of those games are also available on mobile, Facebook has stayed relevant as a marketing tool for the games, as well as a “cheat”...
GBA Virtual Console Lineup revealed for Europe, North America and Japan
Cast your mind back to the January 23, 2013 edition of Nintendo Direct when we first saw GBA support for the Wii U Virtual Console, now over a year later the silence has ended.

Review: Pokemon Battle Trozei (Nintendo 3DS eShop download)
I approached Pokemon Battle Trozei with two fundamental expectations. First, that it would be a puzzle game like most other puzzle games: simple, but with a lot of depth, and very addictive. Second, that it would follow the tradition of Pokemon games and be fairly easy: after all, the Pokemon games are made for kids. How hard could Pokemon Battle Trozei be? Quite hard, it turns out.
Kickstarter Alert: ‘NES” by Richie Palys
I am a sucker for video game music, even those of the early beginnings that seem more like beeps and boops compared to today’ symphonies.
