How I Made A Nintendo Game A Little Bit Gayer

One of the first things that you’re told in Tomodachi Life, Nintendo’s newest life-sim for the 3DS, is that characters in the game can have babies. Specifically, it’ll take your first imported Mii, and it’ll show them holding a baby with a faceless person of the opposite gender. That was one of the first things…

I Like What Tomodachi Life Did To My Voice

Tomodachi Life is out today. There’s a lot to say about Nintendo’s whacky life simulator and the game’s lingering controversies. But why say them in my voice when I could be talking in any number of ridiculous computerized Mii voices? Character creation menus always bring out my insane gamer side, and the one in Tomodachi…

What is Mario Maker? Is it real? Could it be one of Nintendo’s big surprises for E3 next week?

The New Theatrhythm is Everything I Want in a Final Fantasy Music Game

I have already talked at length about how the music of Final Fantasy has affected me, so you can probably guess that I enjoyed the original Theatrhythm—though that’s not to say it didn’t have its problems. Luckily, the sequel, Theatrhythm: Curtain Call, has done a great job addressing these problems. Good – A Lot of…

Nintendo Chief Satoru Iwata Missing E3 On Advice Of His Physician

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, a longtime fixture of the gaming giant’s E3 presence, will not be at this year’s show, Cindy Gordon, Nintendo of America’s vice president of corporate affairs has told Kotaku. She downplayed any cause for alarm. “You won’t be seeing Mr. Iwata in person at E3 next week,” she wrote in an…

The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy package is coming to the 3DS eShop this winter. Hell yes. Everyone in the world must play these games.

Is this… Super Smash Bros. Brew-l? Today’s screenshot from Super Smash Bros. Wii U is probably the weirdest one so far. It doesn’t feature any fighting at all, instead it shows Brewster and co. from Animal Crossing, drinking coffee. Oookay. Good to see though that Masahiro Sakurai didn’t lose his sense of humor. via Miiverse…

One Year Later, Did Nintendo Keep Their E3 2013 Promises?

Now last year, Nintendo didn’t have a traditional E3 briefing. No stage, no live show. Just a forty-minute Nintendo Direct video, filled with Iwata, footage of games… and promises. Not as many as we’ve seen up to now, but promises nonetheless. Nintendo’s tightly-packed presentation was basically a long string of upcoming games, for the Wii…

The Best Luigi Death Stare Videos

I’m not gonna lie: Luigi’s Death Stare is my favorite thing to happen in 2014 so far. Given that I’ve spent the entire morning watching these ridiculous videos of Luigi’s Mario Kart 8 death stare, compiled over at CollegeHumor and the /luigideathstares subreddit, I thought I’d round them up and share them. Make sure your…
