All Nintendo, all the time; the latest news and discussion about Nintendo games, accessories and consoles, from Nintendo Switch to retro consoles.

Alpha Protocol
It's up for debate what people may class as old games or retro but shouldn't retract from a fan's enjoyment. While your Dad might consider Pong or Arkanoid retro, you will consider the likes of Medieval and Croc to amongst those retro titles. The point is it's all quality gaming and can still be enjoyed by both sides of the retro spectrum. Sega made some great video game consoles back in the day and fans were particularly sad when they had to stop due to financial constraints. Their games however were just as good and they made some great role playing games back in the day. What instantly springs to mind is the epic martial arts title Shenmue which may have caused their financial downfall because of it's massive budget. I however would like to focus on an unheralded Espionage RPG for Playstation 3 and X Box 360.

A Classic in its Own Right
We are all aware of the large spectrum of games available to the public. On one hand, we have our hardcore gamers who live for the Souls series and frequent the FG community to participate in FighterZ or MVC3. Then there are the more calming, sandbox games such as Minecraft and, of course, Animal Crossing. AC premiered back in 2001 on the Nintendo 64 in Japan. Now, in 2020, Nintendo released New Horizons in March with amazing reception, surpassing Nintendo's lifetime sales predictions within the first 11 days. As a veteran AC player, I am not suprised in the slightest.

Super Mario 64 is one of the best games ever made, hands down. But as with most of the games you get really into, it gets frustrating when things are tricky. Here are the ten most frustrating power stars from the game (in my opinion).

Animal Crossing and the Law of Attraction
For those who aren't familiar with Animal Crossing or the law of attraction, here's a quick overview of both: Animal Crossing is a fun and lighthearted video game by Nintendo in which you as a human interact with a community of anthropomorphized animals. This article points to examples from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, available for iOS and Android (though any version of Animal Crossing will display many similar and some identical features to those mentioned here). You can download Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for free on the App Store or get it on Google Play.

Animal Crossing New Horizons a first impressions. Top Story - April 2020.
Is 10 days enough for a review, no? I would call this a first impression of Animal Crossing New Horizons. My last article did well when the game was newly released. I have clocked around 70 hours of playing and I'm still playing at least 3 hours every day.

Nintendo's Most Neglected Franchise
It's about time this game got some more love. While everyone else was hyping themselves on Animal Crossing, I spent my last week of March helping myself to the free trial for ARMS - a game that I honestly didn't care for much when it first launched, but with the then-recent Smash Bros. DLC announcement and free trial complete with a new special event, it couldn't hurt to finally dip my toes into such an out-there fighter.

How to make Animal Crossing New Horizons even better
I’ve already poured a lot of hours into Animal Crossing New Horizons already. I’ve been catching fish and bugs, digging up fossils, donating to the museum, talking to villagers, and trying to play the stalk market correctly even though my stalks are tanking right now. While the game has its flaws, it is still very enjoyable and a fun to play game. Players can even come up with their own challenges like trying to collect all the fruit or build a stockpile of wood and iron so when your tools break you can easily make new ones. But there are still things that I would love to see be added to the game. With updates happening to the game quite regularly, there is plenty that can and might still be added to the game.

7 Things I Would Bring to a 'Pokemon Yellow' Remake
I got into Pokemon back in its early days—yep, I am OT. An original trainer. The first game I played was Pokemon Red, but it often frustrated me that you could not obtain all the Pokemon in-game. Specifically, I wanted to obtain all the starters without having to go through the hassle of using a trade cable with a friend.
