Mario Kart 8 Slides On To Wii U In Spring 2014
Posted on June 11, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards
Equip your best turtle shell and get ready to practice your power slide because Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Wii U has been announced. The latest entry in the long running franchise is set for release during the Spring of 2014!
Mario Kart 8 on the surface looks like an amalgamation of Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7. Motorcycles and hang gliders return from each respective game but that isn’t the only trick NIntendo has up its sleeve. A new anti-gravity mechanic allows Mario, Yoshi, Peach & Crew to race along the walls, underwater and even upside down on the bottom of tracks!
Check out Iwata-San’s explanation of Mario Kart 8’s gameplay after the jump, We’ve also got an embedded trailer shown seperately during Nintendo’s E3 live-stream.

Zelda: Oracle of Seasons / Ages Available Now
Posted on June 7, 2013 by Les Major
The two classic Gameboy Color Legend of Zelda titles by Flagship, a previous subsidiary of Capcom, are available now on the 3DS eShop! Each is a seperate overhead Zelda game in the same style as Link To The Past by the developers of Minish Cap for Gameboy Advance.
For those who long for more classic Zelda adventure like this, not only am I sure you’re excited for Link To The Past 2 which is on the way to the 3DS this holiday season, these are a set of adventures you may have missed. Personally, I’d missed them, playing Link’s Awakening prior and unfortunately not these two titles.
Gamers can get these titles at a discount until June 20th. Each game is $4.99 until then when the price goes up by a dollar per title. So if you’ve been looking for a great fantasy adventure to spend your time in when not studying for exams or just to get ready for the lead in to summer, Nintendo has you covered!

The continuation of the Pokémon series is looking great, and now it looks like you can ride on at least one Pokémon in this new 3D world. Nintendo is really improving this sequel, making both battles and the world you’ll explore into a seemingly fully 3D experience. Of course this only helps to show off the tech of the 3DS however it really looks like quite a surprising improvement over a series that was already looking better and better.Read More

Lego City Undercover | Review
Posted on April 21, 2013 by Les Major
Lego City Undercover is two things, and does both very well. It is an all new Lego adventure in the theme and concept of your favourite titles to date, improving on that design. The game is also possibly the first youth friendly Grand Theft Auto inspired title. It really ends up feeling like you’re getting two games in one with all this content. It took me over 24 hours to get through the story, and I still have side objectives around the city to complete.
Undercover focuses on Chase McCain, a police officer just returning to Lego City after years away. In true GTA fashion, this brings you into the world not knowing how it has changed, either. So you’re exploring along with your character. There is very little I took issue with in Lego City Undercover; I really did love the game. It begins with a broadcast from a radio station, and this is quite a tease since the game itself includes no radio stations. So much otherwise reflects GTA wonderfully. The music in Undercover is great, but for those big action scenes that called for it, they could have faded out the radio stations and got back to the original soundtrack.Read More

Donkey Kong Country Hits to the 3DS in May
Posted on April 20, 2013 by Jason Nason
Donkey Kong Country Returns, which was released for the Nintendo Wii back in 2010, is being re-released for the Nintendo 3DS this May. The game is not only being rereleased but also rebalanced for the portable.
With the 3DS’ focus on casual gameplay the challenge levels of some levels have been made a little easier with some tweaks. Whereas in the origianal Wii title you were given two hearts for Donkey and Diddy Kong, you will have three hearts each in the 3DS title to allow you to take more hits. Another new addition to the game is the addition of a portable DK barrel, allowing you to call upon your partner whenever you choose rather than tossing a DK barrel when not needed, thus wasting it.Read More

Zelda Oracle of Ages / Seasons Coming To 3DS VC
Posted on April 20, 2013 by Les Major
As if getting to return to an all new adventure in the world of A Link To The Past wasn’t enough recent Zelda news, gamers can also get ready for the upcoming release of the Gameboy Color classics Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons on the 3DS Virtual Console. The games seperately focus on two worlds, one of which features Link time traveling, and the other controlling the seasons respectively. Both Capcom developed games will be released on May 30th.
If The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX is any indication of the price point for Gameboy Color titles, gamers can expect the two new titles to potentially sell for $5.99 each.
