I think every gamer has their own list of retro games that need a sequel. E3 often inspires big hopes that we’ll *finally* see a new iteration of a favorite game that’s gone underappreciated or ignored for years. Usually games in that camp didn’t sell well despite their cult following, and/or have the rights to …
Will the upcoming Shredder’s Revenge be one of the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games? I certainly hope so, but in the meantime, let’s look at some excellent Turtles titles you can play right now! If you grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, you’re almost certainly familiar with the phenomena that was …
If you’re a fan of old-school platformers like Donkey Kong Country, then stick with me for this Kaze and the Wild Masks review! I’ve always adored quality platforming games. The Mario series has long been one of my favorites, but I actually hold the Donkey Kong Country games in even higher regard! So when one …
I bought an original NES! Since I recently re-purchased a Model 2 Genesis and built up a small collection, I was inspired to do the same for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the first console I ever owned (but traded in long, long ago). After grabbing Turtles II and III for my cartridge cleaning post, it …
I’m pretty sure I’m legally required to try ranking the Legend of Zelda games on the 35th anniversary. Especially because it’s been my favorite series since I was a kid gaming on the NES! (when I had no idea what to do in Zelda II even though I loved it). No other game series embodies …

Not only is it important to maintain your games, but like I mentioned in my practical game collecting in 2021 post, you can save money buying old carts in rough shape! So how do …
It’s almost impossible to separate nostalgia from my personal best Game Boy games. Like many gamers my age, the Game Boy was the first handheld system I owned, and I still remember it fondly. I got it for Christmas in 4th grade with both Link’s Awakening (as a pack-in) and Wario Land. And boy, I …
Looking for the best Switch games to play with your kids? You’re in the right place! Nintendo has long been my favorite game company because it always keeps me smiling. Its flagship series for each of their consoles captures the imagination and hearts of all ages, the Switch being no exception. What’s really awesome is …
We have to talk about the best Game Boy Advance games since the handheld is now 20 years old! Also how in the world is the Game Boy Advance already 20? That’s just absurd. Released in 2001 (pretty close to the GameCube), it was a much needed update to the super successful but aging Game …
As I packed my collection for our recent move, I realized I have the fewest games for the Wii of any Nintendo console! I need show this little “revolution” from Mr. Iwata some more love. It’s unique controls and gimmicks were a breath of fresh air at release (and provided a great distraction for me …
