Miyamoto to Reveal Super Mario Bros. 4 at E3 for the Wii U?!
1104/16/2012
You read that headline right folks. According to Eurogamer Miyamoto-san will be heading to Los Angeles, as he always does, to publicly reveal a brand new Super Mario Bros. for the Wii U. Just last week we heard that Nintendo of America grabbed the rights to the domain "SuperMario4," and everyone assumed this was going to be for the 3DS considering all the talk about a new 2D Mario heading to that system. During our recent podcast Steven and I discussed this very subject, with both of us saying a Wii U launch title would be much more appropriate for Super Mario Bros. 4. So what's really going on here?

Miyamoto Wants a New Link to the Past…and So Do I!
604/12/2012
Miyamoto wants a new Link to the Past, and so do I. From the very first time I played A Link to the Past I knew this game was something special. After replaying it with Steven a few months back, it holds up perfectly even after 20 years! If Miyamoto wants to create a new Zelda in the same vein as ALttP, I say go for it! I've always wanted a direct sequel or at least a game set in the same universe using a similar art style and gameplay. Could my dreams finally be coming true after all these years?
Reflection #2: Cremia’s Hug
804/12/2012
This is not a particularly well-known event in in the grand scope of video games, perhaps because it isn’t built upon death or sadness, but instead around a rather understated warmth that has always resonated with me. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask enters the darkest territory of any Zelda game [...]
