The 10 best Legend of Zelda games, ranked
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best Legend of Zelda games of all time. More specifically, we’ve made a list of the 10 best entries the series has seen to date.
With most big name Nintendo franchises, it’s fairly easy to see which game is most popular among fans – not necessarily the best, but the most popular. For example, many Mario fans will tell you Super Mario Galaxy is their favorite entry – that doesn’t mean it’s the objective best, per se, but it does mean it’s probably the most popular. Pokemon fans at this point in time will probably tell you that Black and White or HeartGold and SoulSilver are their favorites. But things are more complicated for the Legend of Zelda series. Breath of the Wild, while a fantastically successful game, did sort of split the hardcore fanbase in two: those who prefer the new open-world gameplay style, and those who prefer Zelda’s more linear outings. In other words, it’s virtually impossible to put together an objective “best Zelda games of all time” list. But it doesn’t mean we can’t try!
So here’s our 10 favorite Zelda games in order, and along the way, we’d like to ask you to let us know what your own personal top 10 Zelda games are in the comments down below. There are no wrong answers! Before we continue, do be advised that we’ll be discussing spoilers for many Zelda games. Make sure you’re okay with that before you continue.

Paper Mario’s lost Nintendo 3DS trailer found after 14 years
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
It took fourteen years, but someone has finally managed to get their hands on the original Nintendo 3DS trailer for Paper Mario.
Before Paper Mario: Sticker Star became what it was, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems were seemingly going in a different direction for the title. Rather than what we got, the plan was to stick with more traditional gameplay that the series’ was mostly known for. That meant things like partners, a more standard RPG system, and more.
