All Nintendo, all the time; the latest news and discussion about Nintendo games, accessories and consoles, from Nintendo Switch to retro consoles.
Sumire 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.
Smash at E3: My Personal Picks for DLC Fighter 10
It’s that time of the year again – after being absent in 2020 due to the pandemic, the time has come for E3 to set the entertainment world ablaze once more. Suddenly, the air is rife with predictions for what will be revealed at the event – new games, DLC for older titles, and of course, brand new systems. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this edition of E3 is one of the most hyped yet due to its comeback after a year long absence, and a large portion of that hype is due to several eyes being on Nintendo for what they plan to reveal during the event – while the rumors about the next edition of the Nintendo Switch dominate the conversation about Nintendo’s plans at E3, another major talking point of their reveals is the character that will make their way over to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of the second wave of downloadable fighters. So far, the 2nd Fighter’s Pass has been a mixed bag in the eyes of a majority of fans of the hit franchise – while inclusions like Steve and Sephiroth have blown away fans, the addition of Min Min and Pyra/Mythra were not received so positively by some fans, with the latter receiving a particularly harsh reception due to their status as yet another sword fighter in a game that already has 20 of them.

Majora's Mask is a pretty interesting piece of Zelda history. The 2000 title is just otherworldly enough to inspire theories left and right.

Hayley DodwellPublished 3 years ago in GamersA Little Ray of Sunshine
The year was 2006. I had been married for two years and my wife and I were expecting our first child. I was officially an adult. I had a family and was knee deep in my first career. I was working at a chemical factory in a lab doing product testing. Pretty much what I had always dreamed about doing right out of college. The only real problem with the job was the hours. The plant never closed, running 24 hours a day for most of the year. Which meant for me anyway 12-hour shifts, two weeks days and two weeks nights. After several months of working there I was exhausted, and I needed a break. My wife decided to plan us a surprise miniature vacation. During one of my weekends off I came home to packed bags and we went and stayed at a local hotel, just disappearing from the world for two days. It was a huge relief for me even though it was literally just down the road and was great fun. It also led me on a path of self-discovery that I did not realize I needed.
Gray Beard NerdPublished 3 years ago in GamersFrom Animal Crossing to Stardew Valley
I started playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons probably around the same time as many others - when we were in lockdown for the first time and needed a way to while away the hours. Eventually though, I got bored and many of my friends stopped playing. I noticed that, instead, a lot of them were playing Stardew Valley. Naturally, I had to give it a go for myself.

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.

Nicole PetoPublished 3 years ago in GamersMy Suggestions for Pokemon Go
If you ask anyone who knows me they will tell you that I love to walk and I love Pokemon, so one would think I would have hopped right onto Pokemon Go. Alas, it took me quite a while to get even give the game a try, and even longer to actually get into the game.
