Nintendo Switch Online subscription members will have something special to look forward to in February. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask finally arrives to the service, though we can’t vouch for the eventual quality of the emulation. Does Majora’s Mask Make the Service Expansion Pack a Worthy Investment at Last? If you have never…

The Top 10 Nintendo 64 First Person Shooters of All Time
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…
Breath of the Wild is the Greatest of All Time According to Japan (Top 100 Games List)
A Japanese TV Channel took up the task of polling 50,000 Japanese gamers. The poll asked these gamers to name their favorite game of all time. Given the large sample size of polled gamers, the choices listed here represent the current state of Japanese gaming, as far as Japan’s favorite games go. So let’s do…
Buying New Home Consoles 20 Christmas Seasons Ago
20 years ago, many home console gamers had a very merry Christmas. Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s GameCube were new consoles on the market, and the PlayStation 2 was beginning to hit its historic stride with great games like Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 arriving on the system. If we dig deeper, we…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Perfect Dark
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. The N64 was home to the greatest first person shooters…
Rumors: Breath of the Wild 2 to Arrive by November 2022
When it comes to big releases like The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo usually keeps a very low profile, and details of the games (leaked to the press) are kept at a bare minimum until the titles are closer to their release date. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 has followed Nintendo’s modus…
A New (Old) N64 JRPG is Coming to Nintendo Switch Online on Dec. 10th
Last week, I complained about how barebones the Nintendo Switch Online service is. The service is quite anemic. In terms of games quantity, and the N64 (and Genesis) expansion pack which drives the price of the service up to $49.99, is laughable at best. However, my concerns (in last week’s article) primarily centered on the…
Throwback Bit Thursday: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
It is hard to believe, at times, but it has been 10 years since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D graced Nintendo 3DS systems everywhere. Ocarina of Time’s portable remake was the sole reason for my 3DS purchase, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Ocarina of Time 3D: A Perfect…
Nintendo Switch Online: Is The Service Worth it for JRPG Fans?
Let’s forget, for a moment, that Nintendo’s Nintendo Switch Online subscription service is filled with first party Nintendo games that are arguably better than any JRPG in history (Super Mario, Metroid and The Legend of Zelda can’t be beaten). Hardcore JRPG fans do not want to hear that, however. They want to know if paying…
The Best Console Launch Games of All Time – Part 1
With Black Friday gone, and the Holiday season fast approaching (though there are no console launches this year), I have decided to list the best console launch titles of all time. After all, most gamers that want a new console (be it PS5 or XBSX) haven’t been able to nab one. Thus, the new console…
