Hi, So this was originally going to be posted back on July 28th, but I decided to wait until bigger news websites like Nintendo Life to report on it, and they did , so I'm deciding to publish this now as a bit of a smaller and simplified report about it. Welp, the time if finally here, Nintendo unveiled the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 2 DLC. And for a quick opinion, it doesn't look that bad. Hell, the visuals looked like it improved by a whole lot, not by MK8's visual territory, but enough that doesn't look ugly in general like the first wave. I mean take a look at these courses: Very amazing, anyways. This DLC confirms a datamine leak that surfaced when the DLC released in March. Well, what am I talking about? Basically, a Twitter user by the name fishguy6564 did some cracking that makes the game collect prefixed data from the files that were left by devs working on the DLC and place them in the upcoming cups if they're selected. People speculated that this is just te...

Ahh, Nintendo. They're definitely the strangest company in the gaming industry. If you think you figured out their plans, they'll pull off a u-turn that you won't expect. This is one of those times. Basically, June was the busiest month within gaming. Tons and tons of announcements from the Summer Game Fest, that Microsoft Showcase, and that Sonic Central showcase that we don't talk about. We expected Nintendo to do a Direct within the middle of June, but that turned out false. And then we heard leaks and rumors that there was gonna be one on the 29th. Obviously, that was a day off, and it was entirely focused on third-party games for the system. How was it... It was surprisingly better than I thought. Basically, these Partner Showcase when they began in 2020 had huge negative feedback. Thankfully, when the last one came on October of that year, they actually managed to turn the ship around, and it turned out fairly decent. This one however, managed to make the past Pa...

Yes, coming from fanbyte, 1-2 Switch sequel is real and that it's a load of horseshit. My response? Don't even waste your time and money on it if it's real and just buy Mario Strikers Battle League or something idk.

So, Nintendo finally showcased some new Nintendo games coming this year. And you know what, I'll go on and say... It's actually alright. Yeah it wasn't anything too awesome and shit, but there's some games on there that left couple of fans excited, including me. Let's get off to Part 2 of this Nintendo 2022 Blog. Mario Strikers: Battle League Already kicking off with one of few big highlight announcements of the show. Mario Strikers is back baby! As someone who hasn't played the soccer game on neither GameCube nor Wii, this looks like to be a good start to try out the series. And while I'm exited... I'm also optimistic. You see, Mario sports have a really bad rep on the Switch. And it all comes to releasing the game in some form, and finish it later via updates. It's unfortunately a common thing a lot of game studios do regardless if they're big or not, and it really sucks. And okay, I understand the argument that some do offer them for free and...

Hey y'all, so it's been a while right? So basically what's been going on is that there's been a lot of things happening recently. Heck just a few days ago Nintendo dropped their financial reports where they revealed that the Switch hit over 100 million hardware sales, making it their most successful console since the Wii. Also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling despite it being released 5 years ago. And there's also something that's sparking some excitement. Yep, it's that time of the year once again. New Direct airing tomorrow where they announce... games. So, what am I gonna do? Push back the Leaks/Rumors + Predictions as a Part 3. That means that I'm going to go over the details of the announcements there was on the presentation as Part 2 of the blog. Then, Part 3 will go through the leaked/rumored games that weren't revealed on the Direct and then go down with my predictions on what's going to happen in the next 10 months. And that's th...

  Note: This was originally planned as one big blog post, but with how much information I'm going to put down, I'm separating this into 2 parts. The first part is jotting down the upcoming Switch games this year with my anticipation, and the second part will talk about the rumors and leaks along with predictions.   Ah, 2022 is finally here. And it's a big breath of fresh air since my free trial of life is about to expire on March 19th. Anyways, gaming... isn't necessarily the one to be excited about in recent times. With things like corporate meddling, lies, politics, lawsuits and all of that sad stuff, it's overall a corrupted shell of its former self, sad I know. However, just because gaming nowadays isn't as good as its glory days, it doesn't mean there's no good games in today's time. There's plenty. As a recent example, there's games like Metroid Dread, It Takes Two, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Resident Evil Village, Shin Megami Ten...

So, as you all know and love to hate, Nintendo Switch has this online service called Nintendo Switch Online, where you get to play online games that use a peer-to-peer connection, play obscure NES/SNES games, have cloud storage, get useless deals, and use the useless smartphone app, all for $19.99/year. It's pretty much a useless service and exactly copies what Microsoft and Sony are doing. Now we have this "big" expansion for the Switch Online service. Let's see what they have to offer:           1. Nintendo 64 games Okay, so this is pretty expected. I mean, we have Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, Mario Tennis, Yoshi's Story, Mario Kart 64, etc. We also have upcoming ones like Banjo-Kazooie, Paper Mario, Mario Golf, Majora's Mask, and a whole lot, so that's cool. We also get to buy the controller, which one question, why the hell would you do that in the first place? Now we get to the next console Nintendo revealed:       ...
