GBA Favorites Roundtable
Apr 29, 2007
— Clark says — Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is not only one of my favorite GBA games, it’s one of my favorite games of any system. From beginning to end, this game is full of so many clever puzzles and brilliant platforming moments. Klonoa was such a refreshing change of pace from all the Super [...]

Speak!
Apr 19, 2007
So I just finished playing Super Paper Mario. I gave it an 8/10, which is pretty good (unless you’re one of those people who only buys 9.5s or higher). One of my biggest gripes with the game, however, was its glaring lack of voice acting. The constant barrage of text was exhausting, especially when characters [...]

GameCube Favorites Roundtable
Mar 7, 2007
One of the Wii’s greatest features is its direct GameCube backwards compatibility. This offers a great opportunity to play some of last generation’s missed gems during those inevitable Wii droughts (like right now). Here are some of the editors’ favorites: Clark says: This one’s going to sound kind of strange, but one of my favorite [...]

Yeah, it’s already February, but every gamer knows the first few months of a new year are slow while everyone recovers from the holiday rush. The “good stuff” is yet to come, and here’s what the Nintendo Spin staff is looking forward to most for 2007: Clark says: I’m anticipating just about every Wii game [...]

Getting Right Backup
Jan 27, 2007
Initially, I wasn’t too impressed with the Wii’s SD card slot. I had (and still have) no intention of uploading my pictures and using the Wii for a slideshow presentation. But, of course, this isn’t the SD card’s only purpose, and I frequently use them to copy and transfer my Wii game saves to my [...]

The Curse of TV Games
Jan 7, 2007
There’s a strange, new phenomenon sweeping across the nation, and no, it’s not the Playstation 3. It’s TV games. Video games have never been wholly confined to just home and handheld consoles. Tiger Electronics has been pumping out crappy electronic “toys” for ages. But this is different. TV games are actually receiving a lot of [...]

Wii Browser Impressions
Dec 22, 2006
The Wii’s Weather Channel went up a few days ago, and now the trial version of the Opera browser is available. Yes, this is just a “demo” that can be downloaded for free until March and will remain free until June. Then it’ll cost you 500 Wii points ($5) to keep it, so the story [...]

Wii Problems
Dec 12, 2006
I love my Wii. The remote and nunchuck combination is the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used, and Excite Truck and Wii Sports are now ingrained into my daily schedule. But the Wii is not perfect. While that $250 machine is a great value and provides some good fun, it has its problems, as well. [...]

Proporta Aluminum DS Lite Case Reviewed.
Oct 3, 2006
Ten years ago, I owned one game system that my parents didn’t pay for. I had saved up allowance and lawn mowing money for months to be able to afford it, and when I finally went to Target to claim my Game Boy Pocket, I was utterly ecstatic. I played Super Mario Land obsessively, and [...]

The Game Cases Case
Sep 18, 2006
I am ever protective of my games. They were, after all, an expensive investment, and I’ll go to great measures to ensure they remain in like new condition. As such, I spend a great deal of money on game cases. Nintendo 64. Game Boy. Game Boy Advance. As long as they were available, I bought [...]
