For the last ten years, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and I have kept passing each other by, with no more than mere glances in the other’s direction before ultimately going our separate ways. Whether in the form of a physical SNES cartridge or a quick download vie the Wii U Virtual Console, I have had…

Resonance: Castle from Yoshi’s Island
Yoshi’s Island is a charming game from the SNES era that I didn’t get the pleasure of playing until not too terribly long ago. The game’s crayon-like art style and general adorableness pairs well with upbeat music, the likes of which have been stuck in my head thanks to Super Smash Bros long before I…
I Finally Played Yoshi’s Island
The most I knew about Yoshi’s Island was the fact that most (if not all) people who play it find baby Mario’s crying extremely aggravating. In fact, I knew there were several Yoshi games out there, and I didn’t even know which one it was that included such a…unique feature. (I was mainly confused about…
Top 5 NES Games Included in Nintendo Switch Online (So Far)
With a couple dozen NES games now available on Nintendo Switch Online, you might not be sure which games are worth your time and which are not. Well, now that I’ve tried out nearly all of the games being offered, I thought I’d make your choice a bit easier with a list of top 5…
Top 10 Games from Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection
Nowadays, retro games are easier to obtain than they’ve ever been, thanks to such services as Nintendo Switch Online or collections where dozens of games are amassed on a single disc. Never having owned any of the Sega consoles, one such collection that I simply had to buy was Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection on the…
Resonance: Ghost House
Super Mario World was the Mario game that I grew up with. Though it took many years before I was ever able to actually beat it myself, I still looked back on it with (mostly) fond memories, as a symbol of my childhood, alongside such classics as Donkey Kong Country and The Legend of Zelda:…
Resonance: Astral Observatory
Out of all the games I’ve played, no game connects with me emotionally quite like Majora’s Mask. My first exposure to the game was the short-lived playthrough Mother Duck started on our brand new Nintendo 64. She only completed the beginning of the game, up until you get your ocarina back from Skull Kid. Intimidated…
A Newcomer’s MediEvil (PS4) Review
I want to start off this review by saying that, no, I have never played the original MediEvil game on the PS1, having been a Nintendo-only sort of gamer back in the 90’s. In fact, my first exposure to the series, in any sort of form, was the inclusion of Sir Daniel in PlayStation All-Stars…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s Favorite Games to Play Around Christmastime
This week, we’re covering the games we enjoy playing around Christmastime, whether it be alone or with others. I must confess that I don’t have many games that I would specifically play around Christmas, so I’m instead going to largely focus on games that I have played around Christmas (regardless of how much fun was…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s Favorite Jiggies
With Banjo and Kazooie’s semi-recent inclusion in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, we thought we’d make a list dedicated specifically to the bear and bird duo, a list of our favorite Jiggies! Today, I am listing my top 5 Jiggies from each game on the Nintendo 64. Let’s get started!
