Too Much Awesome

I grew up with the original Nintendo. I was a fanboy back then just like the rest of us, long before “fanboy” meant what it means now. Nintendo could do no wrong during that time and depending on who you ask, that’s still true today, but I beg to differ. The NES turned me into [...]

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 [...]

I enjoy the Metroid games as well as the next Nintendo fanboy. I especially love the Metroid Prime series, a fact that’s popped up a few times in lists I’ve done here and there. So when I heard about a new Metroid game I immediately flipped out with excitement. And then of course I heard [...]

Trilogies. Is there anything better? Usually, yes. Trilogies have a tendency to crash and burn in the final chapter, or even worse, they add a second trilogy with Midichlorians. Video games tend to throw off the shackles of the trilogy framework in favor of long-running franchises. However, we have some definite instances of trilogies that [...]

So Metroid: Other M is now out. I haven’t played it yet. Notice that “yet” there. Don’t worry, I intend to play through this one as soon as possible, I just haven’t yet. Still, it’s my duty to inform our many, er, several readers about the big Wii game that’s got everyone talking. What I [...]

Guess what comes out on the 31st? Metroid: Other M. I’ll have a review for that eventually, but in the meantime, I wanted to take the time to write about my experiences with the Metroid series, a series that is seriously fantastic. It may be surprisingly, but the Metroid series has in recent years become [...]

You may not know it about me, but I actually think myself a pretty avid music lover. I just don’t listen to what most people listen to. What I listen to most of all are video game soundtracks, so when I want to up the stakes a bit I listen to video game remixes, and [...]

The Metroid Prime games are some of the best games available. The first Metroid Prime was one of the games I listed as a must-own for GameCube lovers/Wii owners who are looking for good cheap games. Metroid Prime 2 is also excellent but for different reasons. Metroid Prime 3 pushed the Wii to its limits [...]

The Nintendo Wii is a fun system, but it is notorious for having a lack of top-tier games on a consistent basis.  But the Wii also has a GameCube processor built in, so let me give you a nice rundown of some games you could pick up for fairly cheap. Note that games re-released for [...]

The DS is a great system all on its own, but don’t forget that you have the option of playing Game Boy Advance games on it as well, (unless you have a DSi).  There are some great games you may have missed out on, so let me remind you of them.  Here are five Game [...]
