Hey you weirdos. I know you are just itching to read more about awesome gaming stuff, so why don't you check out this place on the internet:

Happy 25th Birthday, Game Boy!

25 years ago today, the original, green-screened 8-bit wonder known as the Game Boy launched in Japan. Selling almost 120 million units, it revolutionized the way we played games on the go. Between Tetris, Pokemon, Zelda, Kirby, and various Mario games, Nintendo took hold of the portable market, and arguably, has never lost its grip.

Zelda Tunes: Back to the Future

As you all know, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a great game. And as usual, it has an excellent soundtrack. Below is an orchestrated version of the main theme: Ballad of the Goddess.

Thursdownloaday - April 10th, 2014

Thursday is one of my favorite days of the week. First off, it's when we get new games available for download on Wii U and 3DS. Secondly, it's the day before the day before the weekend. Plus many other reasons probably.

Hiroshi Yamauchi: The Man, the Myth, the Mario

As many of you likely know by know, Hiroshi Yamauchi, President of Nintendo for over 50 years, has died at the age of 85. Let's take a look back at the man who helped create what is arguably the most influential video game company in history.

Don’t Lego, Jack!

Over the last few years, there have been several games based around various fictional universes, but with everything made from Legos. Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars, and Lego Harry Potter have all been released with good sales and seem to be well-received by fans. They still haven’t made a Lego Kung Pow, but I’m still hoping.

The Year of Luigi

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I love you!*

Earlier this morning, Nintendo broadcast another Nintendo Direct, showcasing upcoming games and content, some of which was unannounced.
