[Feature] Some thoughts on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Features | 13 Comments
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is out today. If you’re aware of the series, you probably know what you’re getting yourself into with this digital collection. That’s one of the reasons why we’re not doing a traditional review on Nintendo Everything. Still, I’ve spent some time with the remastered trilogy, and I wanted to share a few thoughts.
I’ve played the first two Ace Attorney games and loved them dearly. I have fond memories of Justice for All in particular. I’ve also now played quite a bit of the third.
GAME OF THE MONTH – Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Game of the Month, Site updates | 3 Comments
Comment: Game of the month? Austin, are you saying that you’re giving Super Smash Bros. for Wii U an award for being the best game that came out in December?
Absolutely not! I’m announcing a new feature for the website that we’re calling “Game of the Month”, where most staffers on Nintendo Everything creates some piece of content relating to a particular game as a sort of homage to its quirkiness, quality, or cultural significance. The very first game of the month we’ll be choosing is Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a tribute to its release last month, and starting next weekend we’ll be bringing you a feature topic on that game every week. Opinion pieces, historical analysis, reviews– everything is fair game during Game of the Month!
Current GOTM Schedule
Dec. 13 – ‘Me and My Amiibo’ by Kira
Dec. 20 – ‘Namco Roulette: An Introduction to Pac & Pals’ by the Pat-man
Dec. 27 – ‘The Wonder of Smash’ by Vincent
Additionally, in the future I’m considering allowing readers to submits ideas for articles about the game of the month that they would write and then have featured on the website. If we decide to do something like that for this month I’ll let you all know soon! Get some ideas brewing about Smash for Wii U in the meantime, and look forward to these upcoming feature articles.

The Top 10 Third Party Nintendo DS Games
Posted on 9 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in DS, Features, Reader Poll | 9 Comments
It’s hard to think of a Nintendo console in recent memory that had as much third party support as the DS. Sega, Capcom, Square-Enix, Atlus, XSEED and even Rockstar all supported the console with some of the finest games on the system. True, the popularity of the console also meant that store shelves were usually packed with garbage shovelware, but we’re not here to discuss those. Instead, let’s take a look at ten of the third party games that defined the Nintendo DS throughout its lifespan:
Discussing Everything #9 today
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Discussing Everything | 0 comments
I was thinking that today’s Discussing Everything would be light on news… until The Game Awards happened on Friday! We should have plenty to talk about between the likes of Zelda Wii U and Mario Maker. We may sneak in some other news and Captain Toad as well depending on how things go. And, as always, you’ll have an opportunity to submit random topics/questions.
Discussing Everything will take place at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT today. Be on the lookout for the chat post shortly before then.

The Top 5 Most Under-Appreciated and Disappointing Games on the Nintendo DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in DS, Features, Reader Poll | 30 Comments
Like Fred Durst, our series of “Best of DS” lists keeps on rollin’ with a double feature of the top five most under-appreciated and disappointing titles on the console. Let’s start off with the good and recognise the games that might have scored well with critics, but fell under the radar for whatever reason.
Even though I’m happy with the games you guys picked, the “most under-appreciated” might also be the “most unnecessary” list, because how do you use a popularity contest to determine if something is the most under-appreciated? Of course, the deepest cuts were the ones that didn’t get enough votes to make the list so consider the real victors to be Bangai-O Spirits and Kira Kira: Pop Princess:
The Top 10 Nintendo DS Soundtracks
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in DS, Features, Reader Poll | 8 Comments
Highlighting the best soundtracks on the Nintendo DS might just be my favourite entry in our month-long series of DS-related articles. Not because it’s easy to write about soundtracks after dropping music class in high school, but because it turned me on to all the best music on the console. Shout-outs are in order to whoever put down the DS game adaptation of the animated movie Robots, which is the only thing more forgettable than the movie itself. The soundtrack, however, happens to be this amazing synth pop score, which turned out to be composed by the developer of Escape Goat! Well anyway, Robots didn’t come remotely close to making the list, but here are the DS soundtracks that did:
