While not a banner year for gaming of all kinds, and certainly not a banner year for the world at large with celebrity deaths, political and social upheaval and the murder of an innocent gorilla, 2016 did have a few gaming gems to keep us occupied in our respective disaster shelters. Many games that were cultural phenomena this year like Overwatch, the new Doom, and Uncharted 4 were technically derivative of games from years past, but their new features, graphics, gameplay tweaks and characters helped them elevate gaming as a whole to new heights. The same is especially true for our 2016 Game(s) of the Year, Pokemon Sun/Moon.

Nintendo Humble Bundle Live!
Tuesday, May 26th, 2015A surprising and excellent move from Nintendo today as they team up with Humble Bundle to allow gamers to pay what they want for a bunch of indie games for Wii U and 3DS. This is the first ever console-specific Humble Bundle and if Nintendo can do it we can probably expect to see bundles from Sony and Microsoft in the near future.
The charity this campaign is supporting is code.org that seeks to expand Computer Science education in both elementary and high schools around the world.
So, if you’d like some indie games for Nintendo systems on the cheap, or with the added bonus of donating to charity, you can pick up the bundle here.
Nintendo Direct Apr. 1, 2015 Summary
Wednesday, April 1st, 2015Nintendo’s Direct presentation was as good as ever.

Read on for an edited copy of Nintendo’s own summary of the event.
