The Legend of Dark Witch | REVIEW


Posted on October 15, 2014 by Jason Nason

The Legend of Dark Witch is a simple platform game from Circle for the 3DS. The game feels and plays similar to Mega Man, so if you’ve played those games you’ll know what to expect, and it doesn’t let you down.

The plot of the game is simple to get you going. In the game, somebody has stolen all of the Syega Crystals, which gave their powers to the people of the world. After all the Syega crystals are missing, the world plunges into darkness. As the dark witch Zizou, you must retrieve the missing Syega Crystals.

The first thing that drew me to this game is the look of the game, to be honest. The Legend of Dark Witch is a 2D side scrolling platform game where you run and jump, shooting enemies and avoiding obstacles. There is definitely an anime flair to the art in the game, as well as the look of the sprites. They are all beautifully done, as are the levels and backgrounds. There was definitely a lot of attention paid to these elements, and they make playing the levels more inviting.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS | REVIEW


Posted on October 5, 2014 by Jason Nason

I’ll admit it’s been a while since I’ve played a Super Smash Bros game. In fact, you would almost consider me a new player to the series. It’s been that long. And while I got on board early and played the original game on my Nintendo 64 way back in the day, I never got around to getting (or playing) either Brawl or Melee on the Gamecube or Wii.

Yeah. That long.

I still remember a day when you only had a small handful of characters to choose from and a small smattering of arenas in which to battle. The number of arenas in the new Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and the characters you have to choose from when you start the game, is massive. And varied.

Super Mario 3D Land | REVIEW


Posted on September 28, 2014 by Jason Nason

I don’t think there’s been a Super Mario game I haven’t enjoyed. From the very first game way back in 1985 on the NES up until today, every platforming Mario title has been thoroughly enjoyable.

Super Mario 3D Land is no exception.

Years ago when Nintendo realized that people were craving a traditional side scrolling platforming Mario title, the company car out with New Super Mario Bros. The game was a huge success for Nintendo and spawned sequels on the 3DS, Wii and Wii U.

This game takes all of the best elements of those games and takes it to the third dimension. Sure, there is Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, but those games were a whole new gameplay experience in themselves.
