Pokken Tournament Review: Evolved Fighting

Real Talk By: KJ

I respect the Pokémon fan base, and fully understand its popularity.  Personally, i have had a hard time getting into the series.  Played and enjoyed Pokémon Red, but that’s far as it went.  There were rumblings of an experiment.  Namco x Nintendo would join forces, combining this popular series with the Tekken fighting engine.  Would this combo work? Have I seen the light? Enter Pokken Tournament. Continue reading “Pokken Tournament Review: Evolved Fighting”

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Review

Real Talk By: Ms. Throwback

Nintendo is at it again with its Zelda franchise.  They have a habit of teasing us with updated versions of past titles, while working on the most current installment.  We expect perfection, and they generally come close.  While I’m sad that I’m not reviewing a completely new game, I was extremely happy to play Twilight Princess again.  As with other titles in the series, there are no shortages made to the in-depth characters, vast environments, and funky story line which has made Zelda one of the most well thought about series of all time.

Yoshi’s Woolly World Review: Laced Up

Real Talk By: Ms. Throwback

At this point in time, Yoshi has had several large-scale games of his own.  While our friend has traditionally been Mario’s right-hand-man, he over the years, has obtained a large fan base of his own.  Namely the Yoshi’s Island series has had large-scale success and Yoshi’s Woolly World (Wii U) aims to do the same.   Continue reading “Yoshi’s Woolly World Review: Laced Up”

Super Mario Maker Review: Build Greatness

Real Talk By: Ms. Throwback

There was a good amount of hype around the release of Nintendo’s latest title Super Mario Maker for the Wii U when it was first announced.  Many people compared it to high-profile games franchises that have had vast success including PlayStation’s exclusive Little Big Planet series which also allows the player to create and share their own levels.  While Super Mario Maker is at its base a side scrolling platform title in which the player can create levels, that is where the similarity to any other title ends.   Continue reading “Super Mario Maker Review: Build Greatness”

What We Need From Nintendo’s Eshop

Real Talk By: Ms. Throwback

It’s been four solid years since Nintendo launched the virtual console, or eShop for the original Nintendo Wii and we’ve seen some amazing title arise from the ashes for another play through.  Since then it has come over to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS but recently it seems like something is missing, or maybe more correctly, that it could use a little something more.

Mario Tennis Retro Review (N64, Wii U)

Real Talk By: KJ

My introduction to Mario Tennis was through a local McDonald’s of all places.  Though it provided shoddy service at best, as a kid I was able to look past it. Pokémon Stadium, Excitebike 64, Wave Race 64, and the game we’re reviewing today all demoed on separate TVs. This was an elite set-up.  The timed demos would cut you off after a while.  It would reset, my friends and I would wait.  Go right back at it again.  Fast-forward fifteen years, and we are still playing this game.  Why is that?
