As the summer heat carries on, so to does this extended family trip/visit. As I write this, I assume it’s been a good time so far, so I can only hope that your August is going well too. I wasn’t sure what I was gooing to look back at today, but then I happened to…

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is Back!
I’d say that Nintendo surprised just about everyone when it announced a remake for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door last year. I mean, the company had spent the better part of 15 years trying to pretend that it wasn’t fans’ most beloved entry in the series and insisted on taking said series further and further…
The Duck’s Most Anticipated Games of 2024
Now that 2023 is over, we have another year’s worth of games to look forward to. To be honest, I don’t have a whole lot of games I’m particularly excited about, but of the few on my list, at least there’s some nice variety, including a remake of one of my favorite RPGs, a relaxing…
The Trials of Finding the “Next” Game
I don’t know about you, but I often find myself dreading the end of whatever game I’m playing. It’s not so much because I hate to see it end; I actually rather dislike games that drag on for too long. Rather, it’s that I’m really not looking forward to having to find the “next” game….
Spooptober – Count Bleck
Most of Mario’s foes are comically evil; they’re doing the whole “take over the world” or “kidnap the princess” thing, but they’re so goofy that you really never take them seriously. Super Paper Mario’s Count Bleck isn’t like that though. He’s got a funny name and odd manner of speaking, but he poses a real…
And I’m Done with Ni no Kuni: A Response Post
It is always a shame when one of our favorite gaming franchises either dies or is reduced to a shadow of its former self. Not long ago, Hatm0nster published a post on how he was finally done with the Paper Mario franchise (as am I), due to the sad fact that the series has lost…
I Think I’m Done with New Paper Mario Games
There was a time when Paper Mario was one of my absolute favorite series. I loved just about everything about them. I loved the aesthetic; I loved the characters; I loved the writing, the combat system, and the way they made Mario’s world feel bigger than the same old Mushroom Kingdom we’ve seen time and…
Paper Mario: The Origami King – So Far, So…So.
The newest Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Origami King, is finally here, and this time I decided to jump-in right away. I’ve been waiting since Super Paper Mario for the series to get good again, and the pre-release media for this game was encouraging. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve got enough for some…
Paper Mario Makes His Tetris Debut
Tetris 99’s 15th Maximus Cup is here, and this time it’s all about Paper Mario. As per usual, the Maximus Cup is open to all Tetris 99 players, and fans only have to play in order to obtain the new Paper Mario: The Origami King theme. See it in action after the jump!
I Wish I Could Be Excited For Paper Mario: The Origami King
I used to be a big fan of the Paper Mario series. Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door are still two of my all-time favorite games. I even enjoyed Super Paper Mario and its more action-oriented play-style. It’s been 13 years since Super Paper Mario, and Nintendo has yet to make to…
