Looks like Nintendo is going to be able to kill it after all.

I’ve Changed My Mind About Open-World Zelda Games
When I was perusing some old posts of mine, few stood out as sorely requiring a revisit than a review I wrote back in 2017 about Breath of the Wild. When the game first released, it was a momentous occasion for any Zelda fan. Hyrule was larger and grander than ever before, and we had…
Link’s Awakening is Still Excellent
Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s not. Whatever the reason, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is still everything an old Zelda fan wants!
40 Years of The Legend of Zelda: A Month of Nostalgia and Reminiscing
In February of 1986, the original Legend of Zelda was released in Japan on the Famicon (AKA the original Nintendo console). Produced by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto himself, the game was inspired by his boyhood adventures around Kyoto. Going on to become one of the most highly praised video game franchises of all time, it’s…
DK64 Boss Ranking: These Bosses Are Just Bananas
Donkey Kong 64 was one of my favorite games growing up. Sure, it was very bloated and tedious with all the collectibles and the five playable characters that weren’t always convenient to swap between. Nevertheless, my duckling self still got a lot of fun out of this clunky, yet charming, platformer. I already ranked the…
Emulation and Mods are Fascinating!
With modern gaming quickly going bad, perhaps it’s time to consider the possibilities of gaming’s past.
DK64 World Ranking: The Best and Worst Places to Monkey Around
Donkey Kong’s venture into the 3D platforming space was a mixed bag, to be honest. Starring five Kongs, each with their own collectibles, the game could be quite tedious at times, even by collectathon standards. Plus, it was often far too silly for its own good. (The combination of copious amounts of burping sure to…
Unforgettable & Resonance: King K. Rool’s Fakeout Kredits & Gangplank Galleon
Replaying Donkey Kong 64 on the Switch has reminded me just how much I adored Rareware’s take on the Donkey Kong franchise during the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 era. Say what you will about modern Rare (is there anything to say about modern Rare?), but back in the day, they knew how to make…
Ranking as Many Kingdom Hearts Games as I Can Keep Up With
In recent months, I’ve been replaying most of the Kingdom Hearts games thanks to a handy collection I have on the PS4. In case you’re not familiar, this is a Final Fantasy and Disney crossover RPG created by Square Enix. The series is known for some complex lore and an emphasis on friendship and the…
Super Mario 64, You’re My One and Only
If the recent release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reminds me of anything, it’s that I never completed Super Mario Galaxy. Because of that, I never touched its sequel, either. Super Mario Sunshine is also in the DNF pile. Super Mario 3D World was fun but left me cold. I recently saw Super Mario…
