Amiibo Retro 3-Pack Unboxing – Game Usagi Opens
Saturday, September 26th, 2015My Favourite CoD: Black Ops II for Wii U
Thursday, September 3rd, 2015
With Black Ops III due out in November and the public betas just recently finished, I was looking for something to scratch the Call of Duty itch I was left with. Advanced Warfare‘s hype got me to buy in on day one for PC because I was looking for something more dynamic than Ghosts, but the gimmicks that permeate that game and inability to avoid the hoards of gamers that are much, much better than me left me far shy of the dozens of hours I normally invest in CoD multiplayer modes to begin with, so I didn’t really feel like going back there. This led me down the path of CoD self discovery over the next couple of days bringing me to an interesting conclusion: in spite of its shortcomings my favourite CoD since MW2 is Black Ops II for Wii U.
Splatoon (Wii U) Quick Impressions
Wednesday, May 27th, 2015
Splatoon is a really interesting game from Nintendo for many reasons. It’s Nintendo’s first competitive shooter since Metroid Prime: Hunters, one of their first big new IPs for the Wii U, and one of Nintendo’s first forays into the realm of ranked online matchmaking. Any new foray for any games company is bound to have a misstep here and there, so how does Splatoon compare to other modern competitive third person shooter offerings? Read on to find out how much of a splash Splatoon made on us in our first few hours with the game.
Nintendo Humble Bundle Live!
Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
A 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, 2015
Nintendo’s Direct presentation was as good as ever. Nothing mind-blowingly out of left field except for the sudden announcement of the return of Lucas to Smash Bros and maybe the plush Yoshi’s Woolly World amiibos as pictured above, but lots of interesting and neat new information. Read on for an edited copy of Nintendo’s own summary of the event.
April Fools Nintendo Direct Inbound
Tuesday, March 31st, 2015
In classic Nintendo fashion, Nintendo announced today that at 4:00pm CST tomorrow they’re going to announce a bunch of real news in the midst of all the jokes that will be floating around the web. Nintendo historically likes doing this for some reason, but whatever that reason is ? colour us excited. Don’t be pulling for any NX or Zelda Wii U news, but expect more info on Yoshi’s Woolly World, Splatoon, and hopefully North American wave 4 amiibos. We’ll have our usual summary after the event with the coolest news of the day, so stay tuned!
You’ll be able to watch the Nintendo Direct presentation when it goes live right here.
