Shulk joins the Smash Bros. roster…officially
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUl1EkUJ46k[/youtube] As far as I know, there was no fanfare from Nintendo before or during today’s Smash Bros. roster reveal. Thanks for generating the hype on that one, Nintendo…not. Still, we have an awesome new trailer that accompanies the reveal of none other than Shulk, who has been long-predicted by fans as playable, especially after this...
Xenoblade Chronicles now being sold for $90 at GameStop. Wait, what?
According to a post on NeoGAF, US game retailer GameStop has received a large shipment of copies of the critically-acclaimed Wii title, Xenoblade Chronicles. The catch? GameStop is selling individual copies at a staggering price of $90…pre-owned. The NeoGAF poster also mentioned that it’s possible to take the price down with coupons that are floating around online. That alone may be a ...
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...
Remember when Nintendo said Xenoblade wouldn’t sell? Xenoblade Chronicles is April’s 3rd best selling game
There is something to be said about fans getting what they deserve. Looks like I’m not the only one who enjoyed my time with Xenoblade Chronicles, because according to Gamasutra it was the third best selling game of last month. This is major victory for those of us that enjoy a well made, lengthy RPG from time to time, and hopefully enough incentive for Nintendo of America to keep the good times r...
Review: Why Xenoblade Chronicles deserves a trip into GameStop
There’s no doubt, playing Xenoblade Chronicles is like having a second job. I put over 90 hours into the game and still could have gotten more out of it. If you’re worried about not getting your money’s worth for the game, I paid $70+ just to have an import copy, and the game was worth every dollar. Fear not RPG fans, Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most refreshing experiences...

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 could ar...
