Will I ever get a tribute up on time? Probably not on this site. Still, one day late (by a short margin) is better than never, I suppose. Today’s honor is the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Kart in North America (with Japan’s coming out only a few days prior). And this […]

New Super Mario Bros. 2 comes out this Sunday, August 19th, but over on Mario’s Hat, you can already check out my review for it. That’s right; the site’s namesake and subject of one of its first stories has finally been reviewed. To reiterate: I like it a lot, and it is a really good […]

Hmm, update time… what to do? I don’t want to do another review just yet; I’m doing some of those on Mario’s Hat (look for them this week) and Slide to Play already, and I don’t feel like more. Ah, I know! I’ve been holding on to this one for some time; it was meant […]

Curious about the latest downloadable titles for Nintendo platforms this week? Then head over to the Toronto Video Game Examiner to see what’s available and how how much it will cost you. The big highlight this week is Double Dragon II for the Wii Virtual Console. With Double Dragon Neon just around the corner, this […]

The similarity between the four New Super Mario Bros. titles is “intentional,” says Producer Takashi Tezuka in an interview with GameSpot. “That similarity in the visual style and the control style is all intentional. The things we feel like we’ve already promised the gamer is that Peach will be kidnapped by Bowser, and Mario will […]

You can check out this week’s Nintendo Download titles at the Toronto Video Game Examiner. I even managed to tie it all together with a wedding theme! How? See for yourself! The stand-outs this week are Mega Man X2 (got that to support Mega Man, despite owning three other copies), Donkey Kong Jr. (already got […]

At Nintendo’s E3 2012 press conference, two new Mario games were shown off: New Super Mario Bros. U for Wii U and New Super Mario Bros. 2 for Nintendo 3DS. And make no mistake, I’m excited for both; New Super Mario Bros. U looks and is said to be bringing back some classic elements from […]

I played the first Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, though I did not finish it. Partway in, I just began to feel a little “meh” on the whole thing. “Perhaps,” I thought, “this reboot is not for me.” So it was much to my surprise when word emerged of a new Castlevania for the Nintendo 3DS, […]

I just wanted to let everyone know that my review of Mario Tennis Open is now available at the Toronto Video Game Examiner. Scoring this one was tough, and in the end, I’m still not sure whether I made the right call or not. Examiner uses a hard 5-point scale– no .5’s, or anything of […]

Though I may not have said as much about it here, I’ve made no secret that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is one of my favorite games– period. And in the kart-racing arena, I honestly feel that SEGA and Sumo Digital have managed to craft a product which actually surpasses Mario Kart in many ways, […]

Here we are, the final console maker conference. Let me start once again with full disclosure: The Wii was my second console after my PS3. I also bought a DS far into its life span, and far after a PSP. There are few games Nintendo itself publishes anymore that interest me and that list does […]

And in the end, there was one. And speaking of one, of the big three conferences at E3 2012 this year, Nintendo’s is the only one for which GameSpot requires me to enter my birthdate. Go figure. So, full disclosure? Well, I’m not sure I really need to– just look at the name and logo […]
