[Review] Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
Posted on 8 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Reviews | 66 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: November 20, 2015
Developer: Camelot
Publisher Nintendo
Author: Austin
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a game that lacks guidance when you start it up; it’s a mish mash of menu options, and they don’t tell you which icon to try first. But where Smash Bros. uses a lack of direction to overwhelm– like Charlie entering Wonka’s entirely edible room– Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash feels a lot less excited about its own content. Even the game can’t be bothered to show you around.
“Well, here’s all this stuff I guess.”
What should I do first?
“Uhhhh…”

New Hyrule Warriors Legends details – Linkle’s story and crossbows, new weapons, more
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 54 Comments
A few days ago, the Japanese Hyrule Warriors Legends Twitter account teased more news for the game. Famitsu has come through with a four-page report on the title.
First, a note about stages. With the introduction of the new Wind Waker episode, the stages themselves will have a slight change in atmosphere that players can look forward to. As an example, Lake Hylia has an evening scene added. Valley of Seers also has a blue sky again due to being liberated from Cia’s magic.

[Let’s Talk] What did you think of this week’s Nintendo Direct?

Let’s Talk #30: What are you playing? – November 2015
On Thursday, Nintendo finally presented a new Nintendo Direct. Fans were waiting a long, long time for this one.
The new Nintendo Direct was light on brand new game reveals, but there were still plenty of noteworthy announcements. Zelda: Twilight Princess HD was finally confirmed. The original Pokemon games are finally coming to the 3DS Virtual Console in February. Two Dragon Quest games are heading west next year. And the big one: Cloud is coming to Smash Bros. There were other things mixed in as well like Splatoon gear/maps, new/free DLC for Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, and Pokemon Picross. Heck, we even saw a few more seconds of Zelda Wii U footage, which I think came as a surprise to many.
What did you guys think of the latest Nintendo Direct? Are you satisfied with what was shown? Or were you left wanting more? Any thoughts on specific announcements? Let us know in the comments below!

Roy amiibo will be a GameStop exclusive in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
It’s been a very busy day for amiibo news. We’ve heard about new Animal Crossing figures plus Famicom R.O.B coming to North America, and we even saw a first look at the Ryu amiibo.
That’s not all though. Found it what seems to be a GameStop display is confirmation of another amiibo exclusive. In the United States, you’ll only be able to purchase Roy at GameStop.
