All Nintendo, all the time; the latest news and discussion about Nintendo games, accessories and consoles, from Nintendo Switch to retro consoles.
'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' (Great in Concept, Underwhelming in Execution)
I wish to preface this by making it clear that this is simply my impression of the game, never having played the GameCube or Wii versions, and only getting into Zelda as of roughly two years ago, having first played Wind Waker HD and Skyward Sword before this. Also, it was by no means a bad game, it just wasn't everything I hoped or thought it would be. This is not intended to disrespect or invalidate anyone who enjoys this game. If you love it, that is great for you and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Now that we have that out of the way, let's get down to business!
Justin SmithPublished 6 years ago in GamersHow the Nintendo Switch Succeeds by Becoming the Underdog
The Nintendo Switch has become Nintendo's biggest success in years. But the trick Nintendo used to achieve this success is extremely different than other strategies gaming giants use.

With the advent of the Nintendo DS console came a new raft of Pokémon games, beginning with the Diamond and Pearl. These games saw the return of features like the real time clock (last seen in Gold and Silver) as well as new features like the Pokétch, an in-game device that allowed you to keep an eye on pokémon left in day-care, view your team without opening the in-game menu, and much more. There were an additional 107 new Pokémon available to catch as well as a post-game National Pokédex, which made Diamond and Pearl compatible with the Game Boy Advance games.
Jack TinmouthPublished 6 years ago in GamersGet Out of My Nintendo Labo(ratory)!
In an age of ever progressing virtual reality, the days of steering wheel and fishing rod video game controllers seemed to be a thing of a past (do you member? I 'member). That is until Nintendo announced the Nintendo Labo (projected to launch April 20, 2018) the first series of build-to-play interactive video game controllers.
Zach KimbellPublished 6 years ago in Gamers'Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle' Review
I remember the first time I played through XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It was a solid game, but one that caused my stress level to increase tenfold. There never seemed to be a moment of reprieve, even while I was tinkering around in the underground headquarters. Was I making the right decisions? Would they come back to bite me on a future mission? It was a never-ending game of second-guessing myself, yet somehow still enjoyable.

Accountability. Without it, my credibility as a writer and, dare I say, a journalist, is left with an aura of decay. That festering cloud will continue to rot and grow until I’m little more than a tabloid artist, spinning improbable tales for the bored and the unemployed. It’s not a future I want for myself, and so I aim to hold myself accountable for my actions, thoughts, and words.

Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and their remakes as Omega, Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire are fantastic games that introduced a whole host of new Pokémon to fans of the franchise, as well as one of the most overpowered legendary Pokémon in Rayquaza (the Mega Evolved form ended up having its own tier created in competitive battling; AG, or Anything Goes). While all the new additions weren't quite that strong, they certainly gave a refresh to game play.

Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game published by Nintendo, and technically the seventh entry in the Fire Emblem series, but the first to be localized for western audiences. It was released in North America in 2003.

Next in the series of Pokémon games is the Johto based games, Gold and Silver. One major difference with these compared to other games in the Pokémon franchise is that there are sixteen badges to collect as after you finish your journey through Johto, you gain access to the Kanto region.
Jack TinmouthPublished 6 years ago in GamersWhy I Love: 'Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'
SPOILERS I shamelessly admit that a not insignificant amount of mental preparation was required for me to even fathom trying to write about this game without going full fan-girl mode.
'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'—2017's Game of the Year
If you missed the game awards the other night, and haven't heard yet: SURPRISE! 'Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' got Game of the Year!
Savana VerretPublished 6 years ago in Gamers'Star Fox: Guard' - a New Way to Tower Defense
If you played Nintendo games in the 1990s, you know who Fox McCloud is. He's the ringleader in a pretty well known game called 'Star Fox', a shoot-em-up game where you fly around in a pretty cool spaceship and save the galaxy from the evil Andross. A new 'Star Fox' game is set to drop later this month, titled 'Star Fox Zero', and everyone is pretty amped up about it. But along with Zero, there's another 'Star Fox' title that you need to look into, especially if you dig tower defense games.
