J. R. R. Tolkien famously wrote his kids a series of Christmas Letters, telling the story of a far away land inhabited by Santa and a hilarious creature called "the North Polar Bear." He also completely one-upped pretty much every parent th...

One of the best parts of booting up a new fighter in Super Smash Bros. is plopping them into the Kid Icarus level with Pit and hearing the (typically) hilarious fourth-wall-breaking Palutena rant. In case you haven't tried this (now st...

I've never owned a Roomba. Either my surface area isn't big enough to warrant using a robot to clean it (a dorm) or I've opted to just deep clean my floors myself in tandem with my wife. There really is no middle ground in my life for a Roo...

Every so often Nintendo puts up obscure activities on their many random subsites they have lurking about, including their "Play Nintendo" brand. One such oddity was a Valentine's Day poll simply asking: "Who would you want to give a Valenti...

Look, it's kind of impossible to tell what age Mewtwo is exactly within the confines of the Pokemon universe. But if you roll with me and use Mewtwo's birthday of February 6 and birth year of 1996, when the first Pokemon game was released i...

Banjo-Kazooie speak is my aesthetic. I mean, the series in general is just my thing: in the same breath you can have a kindhearted bear spout uplifting quotes while his companion bird completely dunks on your hopes and dreams. It's incredib...

While I've been playing games my whole life, in the past several years I've basically become an expert in VR. I own every major VR platform to date, including Oculus Rift/Go, Vive and PlayStation VR and have seen nearly everything they have...

My progress in Kingdom Hearts III has been more slow than steady. It's my first time diving into the series, so getting a feel for Nomura's familiar yet also totally bonkers universe has been an... adjustment. The sluggish and expository di...

Mega Man is pretty mega, this is true. He's often adopted by various agencies for his services (like Red Bull, which was innocuous outside of this killer art) but now he's been commissioned by...the Osaka police force?! Yep, according to th...

The recent Resident Evil 2 remake is Good. It's scary and sometimes silly, an all-around engaging (and replayable!) reimagining of a classic game. Resident Evil 2's modern incarnation is a survival horror high water mark. It's the haunting,...

When this beautiful piece of Ghibli-inspired art came across my desk from artist salvamakoto, I immediately smiled. Although Castle in the Sky jumped into my head (the artist tagged their piece as "Ghibli fan art"), my mind then immedi...

Now that New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is out in the wild (and doing well, apparently), it's time for the miscellaneous Nintendo marketing to roll out. This time it's none other than: an arts and crafts project! This one is as simplis...

You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us secrets and that's what we need. Our own CJ Andriessen, master Zelda clip finder, is at it again. This time Alpha00Zero managed to capture an amazing bit of footage from Breat...

My wife has really gotten me into the art (ha) of arts of crafts over the past decade plus: creating game related stuff only helps motivate me. These invitations from GandaKris' NintendoDIY channel are pretty nifty, and I can easily see mys...

This little old post from Littlewolf128 hit me like a ton of bricks. Yeah, I definitely want a GameCube dock for my Switch, especially when the GameCube controller ports actually work by way of the GC to Switch adapter! Digging into th...

"Nani?!" pretty much sums up the reaction of this mass of Guardians who expected to get the drop on Link in this Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild video. As shared by CHC_Yu-Da on Twitter, the player controlling Link manages to nail six s...

I am a simple man: when I see Game Boy Advance era art, I'm immediately drawn to it. Created by Sea Handler Art, this fantastic rendition brings the Phantom Thieves to the forefront of a bygone handheld, and I have to say, it fits.&nbs...

Nintendo is no stranger to crossovers (I mean just look at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which has Final Fantasy and Pokemon in the same arena), but you can always leave it to fans to comb everything that the company has missed over...

It's our first wacky Zelda: Breath of the Wild video of 2019! At this point Breath is nearly two years old and these clips are still trucking. Shared by Unusual Videos, Link manages to get to some high ground to fire a perfect, pi...

Raf Grassetti is kind of a badass. In addition to working on characters for comics, toys and games (including God of War), he also tries his hand at various other properties, including...Super Smash Bros.? Late last week he posted the first...

Mods, man. This is why Minecraft is so popular. Like many people I could sit and watch creation videos all day. Whether it's stretching the limits of LittleBigPlanet or full-on 1:1 versions of places like Middle-earth or objects l...

Having known a few people who had wedding (eternal bonding) ceremonies in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, I for sure bet that several of them would have taken up Square Enix on this real-life extra package. Yep, as an extension of the in...

I can just imagine the look on Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime's face as fans and games writers everywhere ask him what he thinks of the Bowsette phenomenon. A faceless rep offered up a "no comment" repose, probably for the b...

You might need to type a throwaway message before you can come up with an accurate response, but here goes: which thumb do you use to hit the space bar? Right? Left? Both? None of the above? It started with an innocent question posed in Des...

A hub really helps make or break a World of Warcraft expansion for me. Going back to Dalaran was a highlight in Legion, and I'll never forget the war-torn feel of Shattrath. This poster has me pining to return to the former yet ag...
