There is no doubt that everyone reading this post is a Nintendo fanatic. Whether you are a hardcore fan, or a casual Nintendo fan, you are undoubtedly here because you like the compan...
Review: Robot Rescue 3D
The folks over at Teyon games have once again given me the opportunity to present you with a review of one of their 3DS games. This time, I am reviewing Robot Rescue 3D. First off, I was surprised to see that the download not only included Robot Rescue 3D, but also Robot Rescue and Robot Rescue 2 for only $2.99! Three games for the low price makes the download worth it! I started out playing th...
Nintendo To Geek Out At Comic-Con
When you think of Comic-Con, you probably think of Marvel, DC, Image, some of the smaller indie presses, lots of cosplay, and maybe superhero movie stars.

Iwata Refuses To Lay Off Employees
This weekend’s discussion got a little heated at times,however, good or bad, I found a lot of passion for Nintendo. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on, everyone that commented seems to want to see Nintendo prosper.

Nintendo recently held its 73rd annual stockholder meeting this past week, and the company was able to share on its Japanese website the following questionnaire.

Reggie Speaks: “Games Drive The Install Base”
In an interview with Forbes, Reggie was ready when the tough question about the Wii U’s lack of power, compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, was discussed. In fact, he pointed out two very successful, yet underpowered, consoles from the past that dominated the marker…the PS2 and the Wii. Why were they successful? Simply put, it was the games. “The processing power of the hardware really...
Mark Cerny Hopes Sony Can Match Nintendo’s Legacy
Whether you are a PlayStation or Xbox fanboy, you cannot deny that Nintendo’s longevity deserves not only respect, but also praise. Through the years, we have seen the likes of Sega, TurboGrafix, and Atari disappear form the console business. Only Neo Geo has somehow stayed around as long as Nintendo, although they have hid in the shadows mostly. Mark Cerny, Lead Architect for Sony and the...
