[Feature] NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!) – Earthbound Week 1 Details

Posted 11 years ago by Austin in Book Club, Features, Site updates, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Here we go again…

Hey look, the Book Club is back, and we’re playing recently released SNES classic EarthBound! You can purchase the game on the Wii U eShop for $10 or on the internet as a Super Nintendo cartridge for several hundred dollars.

Don’t know what the Book Club is? Well golly, let me explain! Once upon a time, the hosts of NintendoEverything’s weekly podcast decided that they wanted to play and discuss the same game with one another instead of all playing different games. Thus, the idea for the “Book Club” was born.

Every few weeks we all decide on a game to play and then play it over the course of a month or so, discussing the intricate details of the level design, gameplay, story, and anything else that may cross our path while we play. It’s meant to be a super detailed and intricate discussion akin to a real-life book club, and we would love if you played along! Check out the FAQ below for more details.

“How far do I have to get this week?”
Deadline for email submissions this week: Saturday, August 10th

I’ve never played Earthbound before, but from a bit of research I’ve done I think we’re going to try and make it to the location in the game called “Winters”. I’ve been told that’s roughly 5 hours into the game, which is a lot of time, so don’t feel bad if you don’t make it there. We may not make it either.

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Hit the break for info on how to participate in a discussion, plus other ‘Frequently Asked Questions’!

[Interview] Just Add Water talks Oddworld, recreating the atmosphere of a PS1 title, and why it took this long for them to work with Nintendo

Posted 11 years ago by Austin in Features, Interviews, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD and Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty are coming to Wii U next year.

They’re worth your attention.

[REVIEW] Cloudberry Kingdom (Wii U)

Posted 11 years ago by Austin in Features, Reviews, Wii U | 1 Comment

Imperfections don’t stop Pwnee Studios’ first title from being mesmerizing, addicting, and unmistakably unique.

System: Nintendo Wii U
Release Date: August 1st, 2013
Developer: Pwnee Studios
Publisher: Ubisoft

Author: Austin

It’s not often that a developer’s very first game manages to be both picked up by a big-name publisher and given some fairly significant attention prior to launching, but in the case of Pwnee Studios’ “Cloudberry Kingdom”, that indeed happened. Citing the plump plumber himself as inspiration, Cloudberry attempts to bring players along for a 2D platforming journey comparable to the best of them, and amid some lofty aspirations and interesting gameplay decisions, it’s clear that Pwnee Studios– although perhaps not masters just yet– knows how to put together a solid experience, and one worthy of your time.

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 52!

Posted 11 years ago by Austin in Features, Podcast | 1 Comment

This episode in a nutshell.

A long, drawn out, meaty episode to be sure! We talk about games like Cloudberry Kingdom, Katamari Damacy, and 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors, after which we go over your weekly news, listener questions, and a discussion about the Wii U Gamepad: Has the device proven its worth yet, or are we still waiting?

This Week’s Podcast Crew: Laura, Jack, and Austin
