If there’s anything to be learned with all the shenanigans surrounds new releases over the past few years, it’s that you’re almost always better-off waiting for the sale. Because, unless it’s a first-party Nintendo game, all games go on sale sooner or later, and they’ll almost certainly be in a much more playable state. One…

Nintendo 64 Games Are Coming to the Switch…At a Cost
By now, Nintendo Switch Online sports a hefty collection of old-school titles from the NES and SNES, leaving us to ask, “So where are our 3D titles, Nintendo?” Well, we have finally received the long-awaited announcement that Nintendo 64 games will be made available on the Nintendo Switch. At an additional cost. Okay, awesome…wait, what…?
Fixing Donkey Kong 64
Of all the games Rareware put out in the mid- to late 90’s, DK64 might just be the most polarizing. The Donkey Kong collect-a-thon has both staunch defenders and zealous detractors, with both refusing to acknowledge certain aspects of the game. As for me, my perspective on the game has shifted over the years. I…
Dying Light Reanimates Once More for Nintendo Switch
Much like the shambling corpses it’s named for, the zombie survival genre is still shuffling around despite being considered “dead” since at least 2011. New games still get made, and older “classics” keep getting resurrected in the hopes of squeezing just a little bit more juice out of one of gaming’s oldest (and most overused)…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is Truly Charming
When I picked up Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle earlier this year, I knew I was in for a treat, but I had no clue of just how rewarding an experience it would be. The game had long been on my radar, but with so much else jockeying for my attention, it slowly faded from…
The Latest Metroid Dread Teaser is…Wow!
Okay, so I don’t usually do this, but spoiler warning for those wanting to go into Metroid Dread completely blind. I, of course, don’t know anything more than what’s already been shown by Nintendo, but Nintendo just revealed a lot in the last trailer, so turn back now if you want the full impact of…
There Should Be a Legal Path to ROMs
Nintendo been in the news again lately, this time for getting another ROM site to take down all their ROMs under threat of legal penalties. I’ve been kind of split on this issue for a long time. One one hand, all game companies are well within their rights to defend their IP, but I’m not…
Resonance: Mid Boss Mayhem
Even though my time with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has been scattershot since I first started playing it, my sessions with the game have been wonderful. Giving credit where credit is due, that’s thanks in large part to its incredible soundtrack. I can’t say that in all my years with Mario and Mario-ish games…
Looking Forward to Ruining More Friendships in Mario Party Superstars
It’s already been a couple months since E3, and I’m still feeling psyched about the Nintendo’s 2021 line up. Metroid Dread is at the top of my list, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t darn excited for Mario Party Superstars too! I’ve been a huge fan of Mario Party since the very…
