Nintendo Direct 2016

Been a bit busy for the past month thus the lack of  posts; I still have a couple post ideas on pending, so expect more to come. Anyways, this post would be just my thoughts on the most recent Nintendo Direct of 2016.

Mid 2015, Back from wherever..

Hope, Anger, Avarice, Will, and Fear

Long time, no post.. a severely long time. Kinda been thinking of doing either a monthly post... most probably i'd bum out and do quarterly one instead.

Anyways, I'll try cram down some general goings-on to catch up on this.

Biggest loser and gaming

Huzzaaah!

Around mid-February some of my office buddies got into a mini-contest at work. Essentially, the rules are like the Biggest Loser (I never watched the show actually) that would run for two months and winner takes the cash prize.

Mario Mario Mario... Luigi!

 

When I learned 100 lives trick, it was pure awesome. And also, I hate you Hammer Bros.

My most fave video game characters, Mario and Luigi. I actually like Luigi better coz of the green overalls. Anyhow, so I've been building up my Mario collection and got these bit art displays. Don't know what they are really called or who made them; wish I can track more of them down if ever. 

 

Anyhow, this end of the year Nintendo released two major Mario games. Super Mario 3D land and Mario Kart 7, both games are a joy to play. Super Mario 3D Land, awesome game and should have been the launch title with the 3DS unit. Solid game but wish the game was longer or a bit harder.  As for Mario Kart 7, I'm not a guy for cars but I always enjoyed playing Mario Kart. Fun game, lots of replay value and there is of course the WiFi matches and community where it would definitely extend the game's replay value. :)

Well, that's my take on it, so click on the break for the game reviews from Gametrailers. 

Legend of Zelda 3DS

Game number 2 for my 3DS. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. This has held as of the one best games of the series. I never had N64 and to resort to other ways to playing this. Anyhoo, this was a sure buy for me since I never got to finish the game. Well, that's for now. A very short post because I'm mostly lazy.

 Note: Gametrailers Review after the cut if anyone cares.

Nintendo 3DS!!!

Yep, that's right I gave in. I bought a Nintendo 3DS earlier than planned, last weekend to be exact. I was planning to buy this around late May due to the Nintendo eShop not being fully released yet. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with the purchase.
