In case you’re wondering about the vague title, I didn’t want to spoil something major for Ultimate’s World of Light, so… Ahem, though World of Light was not nearly as cinematic as Brawl’s Subspace Emissary, what few moments it did have were epic indeed. But what I think surprised me the most was not any…

Who is Your Smash Bros Main?
Now that Super Smash Bros Ultimate has been out for a little over a month, I thought it would be fun to pose a little question to all of my fellow Smash Bros fans out there. Who is your main and why? If you want, I can go first….
Super Mario Party Finally Gets It Right!
I’ve been a fan of the Mario Party series since the very first one back on the the Nintendo 64. I’ve played countless hours across Mario Party 1, 2 and 3, and moderately enjoyed the first couple of entries on the GameCube. Ever since then though, I’ve been waiting for an entry in the series…

Super Mario Odyssey was…Wow
Though I’m about a year late, I am thrilled to have finally gotten the opportunity to play Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo’s newest and most innovative console yet. Though I had a rather unhappy history with Mario’s first 3D outing on the N64, Super Mario 64, that doesn’t mean that I don’t prefer playing as…
It’s Official…I Have a Switch!
That’s right, I bought a Switch. For a time, I had no idea when I was ever going to buy Nintendo’s newest console. I mean, while Super Mario Odyssey looked amazing, I couldn’t really justify spending $300 when I would only buy one game. As was also the case with the Wii, I wasn’t truly…
