Weekend Discussion: Would Another Industry Crash Be Beneficial?
Would a gaming collapse help the industry? I ask because we seem to be in a gaming drought,overall. Sony and Microsoft seem to believe that beefing up their machines, makes them next gen worthy, along with adding in various other medias such as movie players, social networking, television connectivity/control, motion control, etc. Some of which have been copied form Nintendo and their history o...
Operation Rainfall: Over and Out
We can officially declare Operation Rainfall as a success. On April 16th, 2013, we can finally play Pandora’s Tower! After constant blood, sweat, and tears, it took one year and ten days for the trilogy of games to arrive in America since Xenoblade Chronicles release. Sadly, it is possible that Pandora’s Tower will be the last game released on the Wii U, but wipe those tears from yo...
The state of Nintendo, and how the company will fare in 2013
Nintendo didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2012. After what I consider to be a very successful 2011 what with the launch of a new console and the release of a fantastic Zelda title, 2012 just didn’t live up to expectations, even with the launch of a new console in the Wii U. With that said, the Wii U and 3DS seem to be really hitting their stride, and it seems as if this year could ...
Wii U Direct Recap
As I sit here and wait for the Wii U Direct to begin, I see many anxious gamers sharing their anticipation in the scrolling side bar. Although there is an adequate amount of infantile troll fails, there are just as many sharing their wish lists: BATRACHOS: BATTALION WARS 3 PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN Sku11kid: They wont show any special things, just gameplay of games that are ThorstenHaak: Super Metroid...
Nintendo Powers Top Ten Games
Nintendo Power may be over, but they have left their mark in the history of video games. Over the years, many games have graced their pages. So, it only seems fitting that Nintendo Power created a list of their top games of all time! Obviously, by “all time”, they restricted it to games released on Nintendo consoles. After the jump below, is the full list of their top 285 Nintendo g...
E3 predictions inbound. Here is what I think Nintendo will talk about in one weeks time.
I don’t think it’s any secret that this year’s E3 is going to be huge for Nintendo. It isn’t exactly doom or gloom for the company, but if they drop the bomb, it could be rough sailing for them for the foreseeable future. What will Nintendo reveal at this year’s show? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but I’m the one with the WordPress account, so my opinion ...
Monolith Soft confirmed as Project X Zone developer
Coming off of the excellent Xenoblade Chronicles, you would think that Monolith Soft would have another RPG title in the pipeline. Well, they do, but it’s now what you might expect. In the latest Famitsu magazine, Kouji Ishitani and Souichiro Morizumi of Monolith Soft revealed that the next title to come from the studio will be none other than the Namco/Capcom/Sega crossover title Project X ...
Preview: The Last Story
After finishing up Xenoblade Chronicles last month, my body just wasn’t ready for another huge RPG. I had put in The Last Story for a bit, but only enough to know that the game would be another 50+ hour adventure that I just couldn’t pass up. Now that finals are over and I have had an entire weekend to devote myself to the game, I think it’s appropriate to give my initial impress...
Does Nintendo Shun North America?
Over the years Nintendo has released many games in Japan that North America might never get the chance to play. Two examples, out of many, are Pandora’s Tower and Project Zero. Both games are highly sought after in North America, yet Nintendo seems to ignore our pleas. Sure, we are finally getting The Last Story, and that is fantastic news, but there is so much more we could have access to...
At last! The Last Story has been confirmed for a North American Launch.
I would like to think that Operation Rainfall has had a lot to do with Xenoblade Chronicles coming out this April to North American gamers, with their campaigns to let Nintendo of America know just how much the game was wanted. In a surprise move, Nintendo of America today announced in it’s Nintendo Direct video that The Last Story, another Operation Rainfall game, would be coming stateside...
What to expect from Nintendo this year
2011 was one heck of a roller coaster ride for Nintendo fans, wouldn’t you say? After coming off what I still consider to be one of the top five games to be released on Wii in Donkey Kong Country Returns at then end of 2010, Wii owners were left with little to nothing new to play until the release of Skyward Sword. Sure there were titles to fill the void such as Conduit 2, de Blob 2, and Kir...
Think twice before clicking that magnet link button, how piracy may kill Wii
It seems like just yesterday when I was passing around copied floppy disks to all my friends at recess of Maniac Mansion. Even back then developers were plagued by rampant piracy that they attempted to curb, and I would get phone calls well into the night asking what the code for the door was that was located in the instructions manual. Today piracy hasn’t gone anywhere, and in fact one coul...
