Nintendo Remains the Perfect Eco System for Young First Time Gamers

Posted on February 25, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

My son turned five years of age at end of January. Being that he seems to love old Sega Genesis Sonic games and Minecraft, I felt that it was the proper time to finally let him have a video gaming system of its own.   I was a five-year-old myself when my mother first got…

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

While the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console of all time, I would be doing myself and our readers a disservice if I told them that Paper Mario was my favorite N64 game. Heck, it wasn’t even my favorite RPG on the system.  While critics raved about Paper Mario 22 years ago, I never found…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Final Fantasy VII – The Game That Changed Fortunes

Posted on February 3, 2022February 4, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

This week, Final Fantasy VII turned 25 years old (Japanese release), and it seems like the perfect moment to think back and reflect on how big a game it was for both the Japanese Role-Playing genre and the PlayStation’s emergence as the dominant home console player in the mid to late 1990s.   Squaresoft Never…

The Top 10 Nintendo 64 First Person Shooters of All Time

Posted on January 11, 2022January 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Nintendo 64 was the powerhouse of its time. It was, for the most part, the only machine between the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn that could do justice to the first-person shooting genre. Thus, the system was known for its great and numerous FPS experiences, even though the Nintendo 64 had an anemic lineup…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Perfect Dark

Posted on December 24, 2021December 30, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Nintendo’s 64-bit console was a great system, despite its failure to maintain Nintendo’s dominance of the home console market. The system, hampered by its chosen format for media (cartridges as opposed to CDs), featured some of, if not, the most revolutionary games of all time.

Rumors: Breath of the Wild 2 to Arrive by November 2022

Posted on December 20, 2021December 20, 2021 by Samuel Rivera
