Mario Party 9 Site Updated

On March 11th, the 9th installment of the Mario Party series will debut to the public.  With a whopping 80 mini games, a co op and competitive play for up to four players, and the new boss battles, it is sure to keep you busy!  Sure there were just as many mini games in the other Mario party’s, but the way these mini games look seems like they will be outstanding.  Of course, I have not play...

Would New Games for Old Systems Really Be That Bad?

Recently, Dan posted an article about a new Super Nintendo game in development.  As I read the article I felt a chill of excitement run down my spine and started thinking, would this really be a bad idea if it continued? I know that a lot of people out there will be against it.  They will tell us that Emulators and downloads from the console specific stores are their choice of playing games from o...

I’m Sorry, I Can’t Come To Work Today, I Hurt Myself Playing Nintendo!

When I mention “Nintendo Thumb”, all of the old school gamers know what I am talking about.  The symptoms are the blistering, paraesthesia and swelling of the thumbs, mainly through use of the use o the directional pad. As much as I love the classic Nintendo controller, it was actually pretty dangerous for gamers.  It was not ergonomic, and its boxy, hard edges put a lot of strain on y...

Most Difficult Boss?

We all hate to admit defeat, and I especially loathe to lose.  But I have to admit something that I am not proud of.  In fact, I am ashamed of.  I have never defeated any of the “Weapon” bosses in Final Fantasy.  Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, Omega Weapon, etc… Feel free to take away my Gamer card…I will surrender it peacefully It is not that I haven’t tried, in fact e...

Nintendo Playstation?

As Gamers we all know that back in the day Nintendo and Sega were the big dogs.  Neither could be touched, and those who tried quickly suffered the worst dog bit imaginable.  Of course times change, Sega faded away, and Xbox and Sony found forever homes in our hearts. But, did you know that things could have been different? Back in the early 90’s Nintendo Nintendo knew that the SNES was a po...

Evolution of Nintendo

With Nintendo evolving once again with the release of the Nintendo 3DS as well as the anxiously awaited Wii U, I thought it would be cool to look back at Nintendo from its beginning.  Above you will see the classic logos. Below, you will see the evolution of their consoles and handhelds.  What was your favorite Nintendo system?  What was it about the system that makes it your favorite? 

What if Nintendo Rebranded Themselves as…Nintendo?

Nintendo has always been one of the best systems around, that is a given.  It has stood the test of time and weathered the passing of  great systems such as Sega, Neo Geo, Turbo Graphix 16, Atari, and Watara Supervision. However, over the past few years it seems to have been lost in the shadow of the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3.  It seemed for a while that Nintendo might not be able to keep up with...

Apple Announces Pokemon Yellow Was a Fake

iPhone users and Pokemon fans alike were excited to see the launch of Pokemon Yellow for the iOs.  It was so popular that in just two days it soared to number two on the paid app charts!  At the low price of $0.99 US it was a steal!  The problem, though, is that it is a fake. The game was developed by House of Anime and described as “just like the original”.  Once the app was installed...

Arts and Crafts with NES!

We have all had an NES, SuperNes, Gameboy, or another game that for some reason just quit working.  Whether it is repairable, or just not worth your time to repair, there are many alternatives to throwing away those old cartridges. Since one of my other articles was a bit more serious, I thought we could take a look at some of these nifty craft ideas that you can do.  And don’t forget to rep...

How to Repair a Bad NES Pin Connector

I think we can all agree that we love the NES, but at the ripe age of 27 it isn’t getting any younger.  Every time we blow in the cartridge and anxiously insert it into the system it could be the final time that we show the console some love.  The build up of dust, stray bug pieces and other unknown substances can wreak havoc on the inner system.  Not to mention the constant opening and clos...

I raced through several cups, challenging some of our finest readers, and (as ...
