Super Mario Bros (1993) - a nostalgic guilty pleasure
Some films are indisputable classics. Others are a matter of taste or preference. And some are just awful, but there are those of us who love them anyway. One such film is Super Mario Bros.

While the Nintendo Switch has solid golf mechanics, it lacks content tied to the Adventure mode, which plays on low, uneven courses. Battle golf is a bit like Mario Party or Mario Golf because it is fun for the first time, but afterwards there is not much desire to come back to it.
Jingjing WangPublished 3 years ago in GamersThe Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Hd Review
Zelda games have always been about exploring worlds that seem huge, and discovering little corners and caves to tell all about. They have ventured into 3D space before they have, with Ocarina of Time focusing on grandiose plots and dungeons, but in Skyward Sword this sense of discovery seems to have disappeared into the background and broken the series focus on exploration. In 2011, Nintendo reforged The Legend of Zelda with the shake of the Wii Remote, but with the Sword of Heaven you feel like you're losing sight of the forests and trees to focus on the spinning sword waves, and the adventurous reach of the series is also lost.

5 Things I Learned About Money from Animal Crossing
If you aren't already aware of the wildly popular Animal Crossing: New Horizons, then you must not have been quarantined with a Nintendo Switch. It dropped right as the reality of quarantine was starting to feel real and endless - right when many of us realized we would be spending our spring and even summer indoors, waiting out the pandemic. For me, virtual island life became an escape from the monotony of life in my apartment, and the drudgery of working on my master's degree on top of working from home - a trifecta if ever I've seen one.
Tecmo Super Bowl
The time is December 1991, and the video gaming sports world is about to be changed forever. Tecmo Super Bowl was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in the United States, but nobody knew that it would become a cult classic that is still enjoyed today. Before Tecmo Super Bowl came out, sports games were unplayable. It was impossible to pass, run, maneuver around the field, or to even a complete a single play. Yet, the computer would effortlessly complete plays. The game was too difficult, thus making it unplayable.
Justin HigginsPublished 3 years ago in GamersSumire For Nintendo Switch
I decided to try a more indie-type game and found Sumire. The art in the trailer intrigued me. I never really play any calming games other than games on my phone or if you count Pokémon Snap as a calming game. It actually felt nice to play a different type of game for once.
Link's Not Dead...It's Worse
Majora's Mask is a pretty interesting piece of Zelda history. The 2000 title is just otherworldly enough to inspire theories left and right.
Kera HildebrandtPublished 3 years ago in GamersIn Defense of 'Pokémon' Genwunners
As described by Know Your Meme, "Genwunner is a pejorative term used within the Pokémon fandom to describe those who only appreciate the first-generation of video games for GameBoy, namely Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, and tend to bash the sequel titles and monsters in the franchise." Under this definition, I wouldn't be a genwunner because even though I think the first generation of Pokémon is the best, I still have an appreciation for the other games. However, even though I haven't drawn the ire of the Pokémon fandom I disagree, with the notion that it is unreasonable to prefer the first-generation over the others.

How Nintendo Saved My Life
Growing up as a child, I was always fascinated with Nintendo, specifically the Legend of Zelda franchise. I've always loved the storyline behind video game plots. In my childlike mind, I used to compare it to a high-quality movie that you could control. I started gaming out young, sitting beside my mother as she would play different games on our good ole trustworthy GameCube such as Harvest Moon, Final Fantasy, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I loved watching my mom play her video games in the late quiet of the night.

Animal Crossing & Depression
Ever since I was a child, I have been obsessed with video games. It didn’t matter what the genre was; I played a little bit of everything. RPGs, Racing games, horror survival, 2D platforms, you name it, I was dabbling with it at one point or another. The first video game console my siblings and I were introduced to was the NES or Nintendo Entertainment System released on July 15th, 1983. My eldest brother actually had an Atari 2600 before coming into money to buy his first gaming system, which was the NES. By the time he purchased a Turbo Graffix 16, he had donated the previous console to us in the middle 90s.
