We look like we know a lot about videogames… right!?
I’ve gotta agree with Laura on this one: We’ve gotta stop doing such late podcasts! At least we made it to the end and through yet another two hour episode talking about Skyward Sword vs. Twilight Princess, all your daily news, some Mario discussion, and a few Resident Evil: Revelations HD impressions.

As many of you know, the podcast crew here at NintendoEverything has just wrapped up their first ever Book Club (for Video Games!), completing Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars in five weeks. This week, we unveil the final piece of this puzzle: The “Group Review”, where the three of us will write a brief summary of what we thought of the game, tied with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down.
Just a note: These aren’t necessarily meant to be totally objective, but rather a simple subjective summary of what we thought during our playthrough. Don’t hastily make a purchase based on them.
Hit the break for the reviews.
A few worthwhile deals are running on Amazon at the moment.
First up, LEGO City: Undercover is currently available for $39.99. All purchases come with a Chase McCain minifigure, valued at $9.99.
New Super Mario Bros. U is also on sale for $39.99. Get ready for the New Super Luigi content by tackling the “original” Wii U game.
Last but not least, you can grab Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $29.99. Activision’s first-person shooter was initially priced at $60, so you’ll be saving $30.
Coaster Creator 3D developer Big John Games is bringing Big Bass Arcade: No Limit to the 3DS eShop. Originally planned for a retail release on Wii, the game has now been converted into a digital product for Nintendo’s handheld.
Big John Games already completed the porting process. It’s now being tested by Nintendo.
Big Bass Arcade includes ten lakes, forty tournaments and challenges, seven fish species, ten lures, and a record tracking system. The 3DS’ touch screen or button inputs can be used to reel in a fish.
Warner Bros. hasn’t announced a release date for LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey as of yet. But according to Amazon and GameFly, the game will launch for the 3DS and PlayStation Vita (the DS version is due out later in 2013) on June 25. GameStop lists a June 18 date, but the point here is that Laval’s Journey will be out in mid to late June, based on retailer information.
Only a tentative summer window has been confirmed thus far. If LEGO Legends of Chima really is due out in about a month, Warner Bros. may want to make the news official soon.
Last year, Kotaku published an article that was filled to the brim with allegations about Silicon Knights and Denis Dyack. Through information provided by anonymous sources, the piece discussed the supposedly troubled development of X-Men: Destiny and how Eternal Darkness 2 was secret being made alongside the project.
Dyack is now with Precursor Games, but these allegations aren’t behind him. While Precursor has been focusing on its crowdfunding efforts for Shadow of the Eternals, Kotaku’s piece continues to be brought up on a regular basis.
And so Dyack has responded to the situation with a 30-minute response video. You can find it below:
Man… how disappointing. No one ever expects licensed games to be impressive, but since this one comes from Firebrand Games, I was hoping that the final result wouldn’t be this much of a letdown.
