Saul: Nintendo’s recent announcement of WiiWare was certainly not unexpected but still very much welcome. Back when the Wii’s Virtual Console service was announced, Nintendo promised that eventually it would open up its doors to allow independent developers to create new content. This new content is intended to complement the growing number of classic titles [...]

Japan, the U.S. and Europe are all about to recieve a number of online titles, or have done so in recent months, forming Nintendo’s first major steps into home console online play.

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 [...]

Saul: Wow, what a game!! I was thinking this about an hour into the game, before I even knew that the game still had about 15 more hours of content waiting for me. Such is life when you are playing what has got to be one of the best games of this console generation. Resident [...]
