It was Sept ‘98 when it hit US Stores and I was a Senior in High School. I had heard of Pokemon but only knew it as a “kid’s game” but I loved the box art with a giant turtle thing with CANNONS ON IT! Blastoise to this day is one of my top 10 favorites of all time, easily, and I’ve been a fan since.

Finished Wind Waker HD last weekend, go to past halfway on Twilight Princess HD with a little under a week to go before Friday! Then I’m going to Switch on over to Breath of the Wild. The hype is real!

As part of the team that I beat the game with, I first fell in love with the look of Palossand. When someone hit me with a water attack and the Water Compaction kicked in and I thought that was pretty sweet.

A lot of tension and nervousness abound in the gamer world as the Switch is ready to release in a week. Granted, there is a lot of unknown information, which in this day and age, no news is good news, but I’m remaining optimistic. I’m looking forward to the release, first time since the N64 I could afford and get…

Some valid points made on both fronts for and against it, but in taking a step back, and I know there’s more to it technology wise, but I guess when I imagine a new system coming out, I would have the Virtual Console designed as a plug-in type service. The same technology that goes into it, couldn’t it be copy/pasted…

I’ll have to check this out, thanks!

For anyone wondering, does not apply to preorders.

Anyone in the Beta able to talk about how the External HD Support is performing? Any noticeable bugs/differences in performance?

Man, a lot of hate towards the Megabloks. I’m not a Mega Fanboi by any means but I’m a huge Destiny fan and picked up almost all the sets at a buy 1 get 1 half off at the end of last year. I put them all together and although they have some minor gripes, they were mostly quality, especially the Spider Devil Tank.

Loved the game on the Wii U when it first came out, I thought for sure they’d patch and add more characters as time went on but it’s gotten no love, assuming because the Wii U was abandoned. A shame too, I like the game a lot!

If I’m gauging DLC reputation on Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart, I think we will get our moneys worth with Zelda. It is a bummer you can’t buy it separately, they did do that with the other games so when you saw the season pass bundle, it had some discount to it, like for Mii Plaza games too etc. We will see where…

I have two of these, excellent quality, comfortable, great sound, highly recommended for the price too!

Backstory, I played Pokemon Blue on the original Gameboy and couldn’t afford anything until I was older and that’s when I got a Nintendo DS, so I went from Blue to Diamond, and I loved the idea of a Dragon/Ground combo. Ground is one of my favorite types, loved Golem on Blue so to see a Dragon (another favorite…

New to the 3DS when they announced the price drop and ambassador program, myself and two friends, all of us from Cleveland drove up to Toronto for the Zelda Orchestra. At the time I’d only got a streetpass here and there and this place was packed with 3DS users, it was a streetpass convention! I couldn’t go through…

I voted PS4 on purely using it only for Trophy Look Ups. You can click on the trophy and search on the name and it pulls up the browser. Using it for surfing? No, but it does get used here and there so I guess that counts.

Same here, at least to get the daily xp bonus. I’m bummed it doesn’t stay at the max if you continually play daily (like after day 7, it should stay at day 7 xp for the first pokemon you catch, you’re committed to playing daily, reward those players instead of resetting it back to 0). I play more on these events to…

I can’t quote a source for sure but I remember reading or hearing an interview with Reggie about the Nintendo Account being a way to tie it together (and you mentioned it again in your article Gita), but I also heard there was going to be another Direct within the first two weeks of February dropping to give more…

Thanks for the information! I will definitely have to look into that.

Huh, how about that, thanks for the tidbit of info! That matches up as I had to obtain Gauntlets of Ogre Power and a Girdle of Strength to be able to wield it.

I’d like to think it’s all luck, but whenever I roll dice for anything, it usually favors the lower number end of the spectrum. It’s like I have loaded dice that works against me, always. I state this as set up.
