Discussing Everything #11 tomorrow
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Discussing Everything | 0 comments
Tomorrow’s Discussing Everything will take place at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT. Bumping the event back a half hour seemed to work well enough last week, so we’re doing the same thing this week!
As far as what we’ll be talking about, there was a surprising amount of news over the past few days. The most interesting things were found through new interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto. We’ll discuss the important bits he shared and probably a few other topics as well.
Here’s a Podcast – Episode 103!
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 3 Comments
ON THIS EPISODE: We’re back! For a moment. To signify our triumphant return we bring you one of the funnier episodes we’ve ever had amidst a flurry of game discussion about Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Bayonetta 2, Castlevania, Pokémon Omega Ruby, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It’s a bit tangled and messy, but what are you gonna do? Fire us?
PLUS: A little bit of podcast navel-gazing and story time as we discuss how things went for 102 episodes, our favorite moments, some behind-the-scenes trivia, and the future of the show.
AND: A huge pile of listener mail with lots of kind words about the show, discussion of Zelda, our lesser-known game recommendations, our favorite eShop games, and much more. Will we ever be back? Nobody gets to know that except lord Elrond himself.
This Week’s Podcast Crew: Austin, Jack, and Laura

The Best of the Nintendo DS – Staff Opinions!
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in DS, DSiWare, Features | 4 Comments
As our celebration of the Nintendo DS’ 10th birthday draws to a close, the Nintendo Everything staff got together to discuss the games we thought defined the console for us. You’ve probably noticed all the DS-centric listicles we’ve been posting over the last few weeks, but these were all user-voted so we didn’t exactly have much control over the games that made the list. So with that in mind we’re adding in our opinions on everything from the best soundtracks to the most disappointing titles, including a few games that didn’t make the original lists.
Each of the staff members contributing has their own unique gaming tastes and just so you know exactly who to argue with in the comments section, the guys who you’ll be hearing from in this article are:
Name: Brian
Site Role: The Leader of the Bunch, You Know Him Well
Name: Patrick
Site Role: Famicolumnist, Bought Too Many DS Games
Name: Austin
Site Role: Buster of Eggs, Veteran of the Review Crew
Name: Kirara
Site Role: The Radiant Reporter, Amiibo Aficionado

[Feature] Me and my amiibo – Why Nintendo’s plastic gamble means more to me than I thought
Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in 3DS, Features, Game of the Month, Wii U | 5 Comments
Author: Kira
With the recent release of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and the 1st and 2nd wave of amiibo, I have started to reflect on how these little NFC “Figure Players” have added an entirely new dynamic to the series that we’ve never had during this franchise’s history. With the addition of the amiibo we’re given an array of new possibilities that add depth and scope to a game that already had quite a bit for a brawler, and even with other companies having already released similar types of “toy” peripherals we are seeing a whole new side to what the future might hold for video games.
More: Amiibo, battle, highlight, NFC, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Discussing Everything #10 tomorrow
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Discussing Everything | 0 comments
This week’s Discussing Everything will be taking place once again tomorrow. However, please note that we’ll be starting a half hour later – 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT. I’ve been noticing that a bunch more people have been showing up for the second half of the event, so I’ll be curious to see what happens if we begin 30 minutes later than usual. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll return to normal time next week.
The Top 10 First Party Nintendo DS Games
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in DS, Features, Reader Poll | 7 Comments
Alright, it’s time to wrap up this series of features by counting down the best first party games on the Nintendo DS. Well, first and second party games, really. If it was published by Nintendo, it’s fair game. Anyway, the ten Nintendo-published games you guys voted as the best on the console are as follows (hope you like plumbers and Pokémon)…
[Feature] Some thoughts on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Posted on 10 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 10 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.
