“Nintendo Japan has announced that it will begin selling its Game Boy Micro on September 13 this year, with the unit shipping with several fascias and a selection of commemorative software. Shipping a cheeky two days before Sony’s white PSP, the unit will ship alongside 20th Anniversary Super Mario Bros, Mario Tennis Advance and a [...]

Wario is like Nintendo’s alter-ego they express through game design in order to alleviate their corporate frustrations. Wario hasn’t gone adventuring for a while and has instead opted to stay at home and make crappy games as a scheme to score money. In retrospect, it may seem like Nintendo is doing the same with the [...]

Sports video games are surprisingly popular. I didn’t realize so many people preferred pretending to play football than actually playing football. I guess if you aren’t any good at the sport, it makes sense to stick to virtual reality. That doesn’t mean you should compromise for something which doesn’t capture the full art of the [...]

Whether it be building a city or making people clean up after themselves, simulation games can be a lot of fun. Not every aspect of human life needs to be made into a video game, however. Super Dishwasher and The Library Game should certainly stay away from virtual reality. What about being the stuntman for [...]

Sheep have become a commonplace joke in video game design. They’ve served as a profitable investment (Harvest Moon), innocent obstacles that explode when clicked repeatedly (Warcraft II), objects to be smashed or punched or cut in half (Cel Damage), the latest in kamikaze technology (Worms), catapult filler (Tak and the Power of JuJu), and a [...]

Sabre Wulf is a relatively unknown name. Aside from a brief cameo in Banjo-Tooie, this generation of gamers hasn’t seen anything Sabre related. As Rare continues to ironically publish more GBA games than Xbox games, they have decided to resurrect the Sabre Wulf franchise in what is a very fun and refreshing experience that outdoes [...]

We live in fortunate circumstances which allow us to retreat home after school, kick off our shoes, and zone out in front of the TV until break time (dinner). The quaint farm life is more of a suppressed American memory, though the reality certainly still exists in remote towns. Thanks to the invention of video [...]

The Metroid series had become a cult’s memory due to an unnecessarily long gap between Super Metroid and the present. The most Samus got out of the Nintendo 64 era was a leading role in Super Smash Bros. With the introduction of the GameCube and Game Boy Advance, however, Nintendo has decided to milk Samus [...]

Only an ignorant gaming novice would deny the impact the original Donkey Kong had on the video game industry. No timeline or documentary is complete without it. Nintendo, always wanting to make a little money off past successes (see: Classic NES series), has brought Mario and Donkey Kong back to their roots of barrel-rolling and [...]

The GameCube is the industry’s scapegoat. If you need to take a cheap shot at someone (or something), you aim at Nintendo. This has been the company’s home console’s fate. But one can’t ignore the impact the Game Boy Advance has made on the market. It’s huge! It’s so huge, we’re seeing GBA iterations of [...]
