Top 5 Mario Games

University final resits are... very, very time consuming. On that note: Top 5's? To hitch a ride on the website bandwagon, Mario has been in my life since I was three years old and Super Mario Bros. was the first game I ever played. Mario has literally, in some way or another, changed my life and my relationship with video games... and surprisingly still, nostalgia plays no part in how I reflect on the series....... read more

Splatoon Was Nearly a Mario Game

One of Nintendo's pleasant surprises at this year's E3 was Splatoon. The game takes the squad-based shooter template and puts a Nintendo spin on it. It's also a breath of fresh air in that it's a new IP (something Nintendo desperately needs). However, the game was nearly a Mario spin-off. Speaking in the latest issue of Edge magazine, Shigeru Miyamoto said: There were heated debates over who the main player...... read more

Why the Inclusion of The Duck Hunt Dog in Super Smash Bros. Was Brilliant

To say that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U has been a huge success for Nintendo would be a fair statement.

Some would say it's the game's mechanics ("Easy to play, but difficult to master"). Others would cite the large and diverse...... read more

It was revealed earlier this month that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will not support the Circle Pad Pro add-on.
