Recently released in Japan, Captain Toad is a cute little Super Mario 3D World spin-off about collecting coins, gems, and stars while on your way to defeat a giant bird. …Either that or it’s a tale of greed, robbery, and mass murder on a grand scale. [Note: This article is a tongue-in-cheek look at the…
In the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, there is a hot springs in Lavaridge Town. Players could go and soak in the steamy water with some old ladies. Lavaridge Town returns in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. So does the bathing. The grannies, it seems, do not. Hot springs are called “onsen” (温泉) in Japanese.…
The new Pokémon games are good. You should play them, if you can! The question is, which game should you pick up? Pokémon is unique in that, if you want to play it, you always have a choice between two different versions of the same game. Typically, the versions are denoted by colors or stones—Red…
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire release for the 3DS tomorrow, and to celebrate that, here’s a trailer that goes over every mega Pokémon in the game…in anime form.

Not the most… expected combination, but the original Doom with a sugary sweet Super Mario 64 filling works surprisingly well, all things considered. Doom: The Golden Souls is a mod heavily inspired by Super Mario 64. It’s been in development for quite some time, but version 1.0 just butt-stomped onto the surface of the goomba…
That Mewtwo downloadable character for Super Smash Bros.? It’s supposed to be a freebie to those who buy both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game. It’s supposed to be.

Pikachu…are you okay? Where did your face go? Why is your body doing that!? Turns out, all you need to transform the iconic critter into a demon is to glitch him out. In this case, Chadtronic finds that “cartridge tilting” a copy of Hey You, Pikachu! results in a Pikachu that would feel at home…
Yesterday, Nintendo released the v1.0.4 update for Super Smash Bros. 3DS, which, as they announced last week, adjusts balance in the mascot fighting game. Yet… nobody’s quite sure what they actually changed. Yep, inexplicably, Sakurai and crew decided not to include patch notes in the most recent update for their handheld Smash game. Here’s the…
Ocarina of Time might be the first video game where I obsessively followed its development. It was a pre-cursor to games culture today where we pore over video footage, speculate and — for want of a better terms — get hype. But back then it was screenshots. This is a collection of screenshots from the…
Okay, look. As much as I love Smash, even I can admit the entire premise of the game is ridiculous. Nevermind all the tensions about how one should “actually” play such a silly (but amazing) game. Smosh Games hilarious breaks down Smash Bros., and then does the time-honored tradition of renaming all the Smash characters…
David Melnarik got his mum to sit down on the Smash Bros. website and try to name every character in the game. Some of them, she knew! Most, she did not, but that didn’t stop her from guessing (and in many cases improving on Nintendo’s actual names). It’s similar to something from earlier in the…
