It's Thursday, and that means we get new downloadable games!

Sale: Target offering Nintendo 2DS for $99

In need of a 2DS? Then look no further! Head over to Target and pick up a 2DS for less than hundred dollars (before tax, of course).

Review: Mario Golf World Tour

One of my favorite things about video games is the ability to experience things you would otherwise be unable to do, like being good at golf. Thankfully, the Mario Golf series has allowed athletically-challenged gamers like me to enjoy the thrill of golf without being exposed to the dangers of sunlight and green grass. Mario Golf World Tour for the Nintendo 3DS is the newest addition to the Mario Golf series. So is it worth your hard-earned coins?

Nintendo WiFi Connection - ONE WEEK LEFT!

There's only one week left of Nintendo WiFi Connection, so if you haven't downloaded puzzles on the first four Professor Layton games, or shared creations on Mario vs. Donkey Kong, you better get on it! It's also the perfect time to play some Mario Kart Wii online, since Mario Kart 8 comes out in 18 days! Or play Super Smash Bros. online since the new 3DS version comes out soon! Or play Tetris DS! Or Pokemon games! Or MarioKart DS! Or whatever! Go do it!

Retro Sunday - May 11, 2014 - Super Mario Bros. 2

One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon is play old-school games. I'm not sure why, but it just seems like a lazy Sunday is the perfect time to delve into some retro goodness. So, for the first Retro Sunday feature, let's talk about one of my personal favorites.

Review: Kirby Triple Deluxe

Kirby Triple Deluxe for Nintendo 3DS is the latest game starring Kirby, Nintendo’s flagship pink puff. It is somewhat of an unofficial sequel to Kirby Return to Deamland (Wii, 2011). It is also the first portable Kirby game since Kirby Mass Attack (DS, 2011), and the first Kirby game on 3DS. So does it copy the success of its predecessors, or does it suck?

Monster Party for Monster Hunter

Monster Hunter turns 10 this year. To celebrate, Capcom is offering specialized memorabilia for fans of the series. For example, an electric guitar shaped like a monster-hunting weapon. Yes, that's right, an Electric Axe Axe.

Nintendo Working on Nintendo-Themed Skylanders-Style Game

You know Skylanders, right? The game with the toys that you scan to get more characters? Yeah. Nintendo is making one.

And it all starts with Mario.
