Is Nintendo GameCube the Most Underrated Console Ever?

New DVD release, , ,
A lot of words have been spoken about the Nintendo GameCube in the 20 years since the console’s release, but the one you’re most likely to hear if you ask fans about their thoughts on the console’s legacy is “underrated.” In fact, the popular sentiment is that the Nintendo GameCube is the most underrated console ever made. It’s a fascinating legacy for a device that once seemed destined to become Nintendo’s worst-selling home console ever (before the Wii U justifiably stole that title). We’ve talked about this more extensively in the past, but the Nintendo GameCube was something of a…

Is Wario the Ultimate Nintendo Fanboy?

New DVD release, , ,
WarioWare: Get It Together! not only revives one of Nintendo’s most enjoyable pick-up-and-play experiences but reminds us that Wario has managed to become far more popular over the years than Nintendo seemingly ever intended. We don’t want to remind you of SNL episode where Elon Musk dressed as Wario, but here we are.  Indeed, it’s doubtful Wario was ever supposed to be little more than Mario’s “Star Trek-esque” evil doppelganger. I mean…just look at the guy. His trademark symbol is essentially an upside-down “M” and the origins of his name roughly translate to “bad Mario.” He initially appears to be…

Why Nintendo Abandoned the Game Boy Name

New DVD release,
For years, the Nintendo Game Boy dominated the handheld gaming market en route to arguably becoming synonymous with the very idea of handheld gaming. So why did Nintendo stop using the Game Boy name almost 16 years ago? To be honest, the answer to that question is complicated and open to a fair bit of speculation. While this is a topic that Nintendo has talked around over the years, there are not a lot of high-level Nintendo executives who have directly addressed that question in a way that eliminates all possible doubt. Having said that, we do have a pretty…

What’s Pokémon TV on Nintendo Switch?

New DVD release, ,
Have you ever been watching Pokémon on TV or a streaming service and thought, “why don’t they have more Pokémon? Why must I be distracted by programs that don’t feature adorable monsters?” If that’s the case, Pokémon TV might be of interest. Now available on the Nintendo Switch, the free app is all Pokémon all day! It features a large collection of the anime, specials, web shows, and even a spotlight on the card game. Digging deeper, at the current moment Pokémon TV features 10 seasons of the anime. This includes the first two seasons (up through the Orange Islands…

15 Best Nintendo Franchises Ranked

New DVD release, ,
Sony and Microsoft super fans will have a hard time admitting it, but Nintendo has created the most incredible catalog of properties in the history of gaming. They may get made fun of for their slow development time and occasionally repetitive entries within their biggest franchises, but people just can’t get enough of that feeling they get when they re-discover Mario jumping on Goombas or Kirby transforming into his nemeses. With nearly four decades of game creation to explore, it’s hard to rank the absolute best franchises from Nintendo’s considerable history, but that’s exactly what we’ve set out to do.…

No, there’s no way to convince everyone that one Nintendo console is actually better than the rest, but we’re looking back at Nintendo’s history…

The Nintendo Fan Games That Tried to Revitalize Pokémon, Metroid, and Super Smash Bros.

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In 2016, Milton Guasti’s Metroid 2 remake (AM2R) was released online after a decade of work. One day later, Nintendo sent DMCA takedown requests to the websites that hosted it. Many fans were shocked by the decision. Guasti seems more surprised by the efficiency of it. “Throughout the years I started seeing that [a takedown] could be possible,” Guasti recalls. “What I was not expecting was that it happened so fast.” New fan-made gaming projects are developed and distributed all the time, and often embraced by studios, but as those in the creative community know, Nintendo has historically been adamant about…

30 Best Nintendo Switch Games

New DVD release, ,
After four years of the Wii U, we were eagerly anticipating its successor. While there were plenty of great games on the doomed platform, the Wii U just never caught fire with the public at large. But four years into the Switch’s lifespan, and Nintendo has turned things around dramatically. Instead of winding things down, the Switch shows no signs of slowing down, with plenty of excellent third party games in its library, as well as more than a few innovative titles from the Big N as well. The platform has also been a great way to bring underrated Wii…

20 Nintendo Games That Changed History

New DVD release, , ,
In an industry dependent on ever-changing technology, there’s no video game company quite like Nintendo. They made a name for themselves as the company so synonymous with gaming that parents called every game console “Nintendos” for years to come, and they’re still the source of some of gaming’s greatest modern experiences. There have been a lot of discussions over the years about the best Nintendo games, but there’s an arguably more interesting conversation to be had about the most important Nintendo games. After all, Nintendo hasn’t just consistently delivered the games that defined the childhoods of multiple generations; they’ve spent…

Nintendo Switch 4K: 10 Games That Will Benefit Most From an OLED Display

New DVD release, , , ,
A Bloomberg article reveals that Nintendo is reportedly ordering OLED screens from Samsung in preparation for the 2021 release of the long-awaited “Nintendo Switch Pro.” Details are thin at this time, but the new Switch hardware will likely support 720p resolution in handheld mode, 4K output to a television, and enhanced overall performance via unspecified improved “computing power.” While we’ve heard rumors of an upgraded Nintendo Switch before, this latest report is far more substantial than any we’ve seen in recent years. Besides, few people doubt that Nintendo will eventually release improved Switch hardware. Not only have they previously released…

Nintendo Direct 2/17 Trailers: Super Smash Bros, Mario Golf, Zelda, and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s been quite a while since Nintendo has hosted a substantial Direct presentation that focuses on trailers and news for the biggest upcoming Switch games. In fact, this February 17th showcase was the Nintendo Direct of its kind since September 2019. Of course, the long gap between such presentations is understandable given that the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production schedules across the industry and impacted everyone’s ability to share substantial updates about their upcoming releases. As a result, 2020 Nintendo Direct presentations were highlighted by a celebration of Super Mario‘s 35th anniversary, indie showcases, and various Super Smash Bros. updates. At…

Here is how it compares to other consoles when launch aligned. In the same time frame, the PS4 was around ~67m and the PS2 was around ~69.5m.

What Control and Hitman 3 Cloud Streaming Means for Nintendo Switch

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Leave it to Nintendo to use a previously unannounced Nintendo Direct presentation to reveal that Control and Hitman 3 are coming to Nintendo Switch via a cloud streaming service. While these aren’t the first Nintendo Switch games to support cloud technology (Resident Evil 7 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey beat them to the punch), previous uses of this concept were seen as a dry run test of bigger things to come. Well, it certainly feels like that’s what’s happening right now. So what does this mean for the future of the Nintendo Switch? It could be years before we know the…
