Too Much Awesome

I am a very biased Mario Kart fan. There, we got that out of the way. I’ve been going on and on about how excited I was to finally get my hands on Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS, going so far as essentially promising that I’d love it. Now that I’ve had a [...]

Every year we find ourselves in the same place here, writing up on the big companies of the year and judging how well they did or didn’t accomplish the goal of being a video game company. Gus took a strong Pro Sony stance with his 2011 Sony Wrap Up, Brian was less thrilled about Microsoft’s- [...]

There’s no getting around the fact that I’m a Mario fan. It will inevitably paint everything I say in reviews of either any Mario game or any game that Mario would be rather comfortable in (that being platforming, kart racing, and arcade-style sports). It shouldn’t then come as a surprise that when Super Mario 3D [...]

It’s been a few months since I broke down and purchased a 3DS, but it only dawned on me yesterday that while I have played through The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, I’ve yet to give my full impressions of the title. Well, Zelda is still going through its wonderful 25th anniversary, so [...]

I mentioned a few weeks ago that while at PAX I spent a lot of time over at Nintendo’s booth and said that eventually I’d give a rundown of their holiday 2011 lineup. Well hey! Guess what I’m doing today! I’m still enamored with the Big N, so here is a brief preview of a [...]

I made it abundantly clear last week what my stance on Nintendo currently is and probably will remain, even if some others don’t share the same opinion. To sum it up again: I love me some Nintendo. Now that I’ve finally got my hands on a 3DS and played around with it a bit, I’m [...]

Today is a special occasion for me here at Toy-Too Much Awesome. Today is my 300th post (according to my backend stats), so I wanted to celebrate by writing something very near to me as both an interest and part of my identity. For my last milestone I talked all about my greatest Pokemon accomplishments [...]

Last week, this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo came and went, and with it launched an arsenal of gaming news and previews to show us just how busy our holiday season will be this year (very VERY busy). There is a lot to talk about, so that’s why I’m here to sort through it all; to [...]

At the end of last week, I mentioned five games I’d like to see made for the 3DS with the explicit purpose of using the 3D functionality to add something to the final product. Not one to rest there, I’ve still been kicking ideas around in my head, searching for the perfect list of games [...]

Seeing as how the Nintendo 3DS comes out on Sunday here in the US, it’s been on my mind pretty heavily. I had the chance to head out to a local Best Buy and try out the demo copy with Pilotwings Resort, marking the first and thus far only experience I’ve had with the 3DS’s [...]
