Pokémon GO to Japan and Get a Special Pokémon McFlurry
Don’t you just hate when companies spend years developing a product, only for it to not be localized for you to enjoy in your home territory? Yeah, me to. Take the new Pikachu edition McFlurry that goes on sale July 14. It’s such a shame that McDonald’s and the Pokémon company couldn’t craft a deal to make this a worldwide launch. Localization couldn’t be very hard fo...
Infendo Review – Super Bomberman R
Make no mistake, this is a game with a lot of heart. There are plenty of little things I didn’t notice until the 5th time through a specific level.

Hanging up the Crown: Smash Wii U’s Losing its Tourney Mode
It’s a day that ends in “Y,” so you know what that means…more random Nintendo news! There was a rumor that started circulating recently that the Nintendo NX might be region-free, which would be wonderful news! This could lead into a whole new age for Nintendo gaming not seen since the SNES. The duality of Nintendo news is that there’s always a stoutly negative announc...

The (Once and) Future King: Part 2
Read the first part of this article here. It has been a rocky couple of decades for Nintendo. Going into the mid-’90s, they were at the top of their game. The Super Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System was a huge success, and their key franchises were ubiquitous within the industry — but then they hit a snag. Minor missteps, like the Mortal Kombat controversy, and major ones, like the Virtu...
