I’m going to make a very bold statement here: Yoshi’s Story is the most underrated Nintendo game ever made. The little dinosaur’s N64 romp has been criticised over the years for being too short, too easy, and not a patch on the game many argue to be the greatest platformer…
Read MoreHow do you create a follow-up to one of the greater successes of the video game industry? If The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is any indication, you reuse much of the same assets and launch it less than two years after its predecessor. Here’s the kicker: you reimagine everything…
Read MoreThe sequel to the NES and arcade classic Double Dragon will be brawling its way on over to the 3DS’ Virtual Console sometime soon. Just when that might be is sort of up in the air, as no details other than a trio of screenshots were released by Nintendo today.…
Read MoreThere’s not much variety to “old school action game” Johnny Kung Fu, but what’s there is fun at first. If only developer UFO Interactive Games could have been bothered to create more of it.

Perhaps understanding just how bad the reputation for this game is, it’s…
Read MoreWell, maybe not all 8-bit, but with a pair of NES classics kicking off the company’s 8-bit Summer- it feels like 1989 all over again. I kinda split the difference there with the dates, in actuality this week’s pair of NES games posting to the 3DS’ eShop were released in…
Read MoreI’m in the middle of writing a review for Theatrhythm for Otaku Gaming, but I feel compelled to write about it here as well, because, frankly, this game has restored my faith in gaming. That faith had been waning – to me, the games industry has lost a great deal…
