This thread is for old people! (But feel free to chime in if you've played the old classics through Animal Crossing or... other means.) (more) |

It's 2012, and the Wii hardware is ancient. It is an overclocked Gamecube, so it's hardware from 11 years ago. This year Nintendo will launch the Wii U, which will be more powerful than 360 and PS3, and finally have Nintendo games developed in HD... (more)

I don't remember what version it's on. Anyway, let us discuss the new apps/UIs for these two consoles! (We don't really have to do a shootout. I just wanted to discuss both.) (more)

I just came across this article, and it made me think of achievements in games (partly because it says "Achievement Unlocked" at the end). I think it shows really well how achievements could ruin gaming for some people... (more)

Now, I understand why game designers utilize these tried and true settings: They're what we've got in the planet Earth of ours. But it gets a little tiring knowing that every Mario game, every Metroid game, every Sonic game from here until eternity will have this stuff... (more)

In the latest podcast, DrFink mentions being worried about 3D Land's reportedly short levels before the game came out. And I think it's an understandable worry, that I shared. We probably all subconsciously equate "short" with "less", whatever it is that's being discussed... (more)

Unfortunately, I had a horribly extended airport pick-up yesterday, so I had to cut my Skyward time short, but it did give me time to listen to the 25th Anniversary dealio at ear-bleeding volumes. Brief impressions: Pretty damned good! I enjoyed the full experience even more than the clips on the Nintendo Channel (which makes me think that the live show would have been even better)... (more)

Since the dawn of time, well maybe not that far back, publications have played games. Then they rate and review them for apparently our benefit as consumers. Sometimes they align with your views, sometimes they don't. Every gamer is different. With the slew of Skyward Sword reviews coming in and a few of them being controversial for their scores or comments, It's making me wonder who you all actually trust? I admit I haven't really examined all of the 38 different publications currently collected in our Zelda Review Thread, but I definitely know who I trust. When Nintendo World Report gave the game a 10/10, that is pretty much all I needed. Then when Famitsu did the same with their 10/10/10/10 rating, I knew my beliefs were real. Sure what they had to say mattered a lot too. It's not just about the number. I trust those two sources quite a lot with my gaming decisions, looking to them for guidance on any game I'm unwavering on, or when I'm looking to solidify my own thoughts or not. I used to feel that way with IGN but after the core group left, things got weird (though really that started before they even were out), but even seeing their perfect score puts a little smile on my faith. Makes me feel like they're not as crazy as I thought considering what I believe to be true from the trusted reviews I do care for... (more)

As I stand today at 11am, us Canadians are remembering the soldiers who have died in the Wars we have fought in (Veterens Day for our American Friends). I'm not sure what I would do if faced to fight for my country - I'm wondering if I would have the guts and the skill to fight without being blown up within the first 30 minutes and as I get older, I grow more proud of the people who have sacrificed everything they have just so we could enjoy what's left...

It's kind of weird to me that people care about Nintendo characters or have 'favorite ones' at all, honestly. At least with the ciphers like Mario and Yoshi. But, really, with all of them. Once they are removed from their context, my affection for them ceases... (more)
