Video game reviews, fan fiction, gaming news, and more! Since 2003. We especially love JRPGs, RPGs and the best of the rest. Never Ending Realm: Where your favorite games live forever!
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…
Here at Never Ending Realm, we love JRPGs and the music that accompanies them. A special place in this writer’s heart is the classic tunes of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past. I remember playing this SNES JRPG and loving every minute of it, especially the memorable music. My favorite track from…
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will turn 23 years old in just 3 days, and thus, there has been no better time to reminisce, and discuss, what perhaps is Zelda’s most important entry on this edition of Throwback Bit Thursday. The topic? The game’s story, and how Miyamoto (and Nintendo EAD) approached some…
Before we go any further, I want to make clear that these numbers were pulled out of Wikipedia (in large part), so some of these tallies might be either inaccurate or not up to date. An example of this is the Assassin’s Creed sales tally. The game had sold 155 million units prior to Assasin’s…
A strange topic of discussion has arisen over the past couple of decades within gaming forums: The dispute of whether or not, The Legend of Zelda (series) should be classified as an Action-RPG (which would make it a Japanese RPG), or an Action Adventure, or perhaps, both. The argument has driven many to question whether…
Game for Game, The Legend of Zelda is my favorite video gaming series. I don’t think I have ever handed out as many 10/10, and 9.5/10 to as many games in any other series. My favorite game of all time is a Zelda game (Ocarina of Time). My favorite gaming universe of all time is…
The Legend of Zelda has sold over 118 million games over the course of its 35 year old life span. These numbers make it one of the most commercially successful franchises of all time. Apart from its commercial success, The Legend of Zelda, is renowned for its actual greatness as a gaming franchise. Has there…
With The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword just a few days away, we wanted to take a look at all of the known improvements that Nintendo will be making to the game. Originally released on the Nintendo Wii, Skyward Sword has aged a bit and motion controls are not as popular as they once were….
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is my least favorite 3-D Zelda. It was released in 2011 at around the same time that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim did. Consequently, Skyward Sword gathered dust for months before I managed to finish it. Out Dated Visuals Skyrim looked amazing on the Xbox 360. Conversely, Skyward Sword…
For the previous 5 entries rounding out the Top Ten games for the Nintendo 64Â click here. The Nintendo 64…the first true bastion of 3-D gaming on home consoles. Three dimensional visuals came easy to it thanks to its formidable horsepower (for 1996 hardware). Thanks to Shigeru Minamoto’s genius, the Nintendo 64 had games that defined…
