Over the past quarter-century, Super Mario has battled many foes: his arch-nemesis Bowser, Daisy-napping alien Tatanga, future frenemy Wario, and a bizarre Shadow Mario that turned out to be Bowser Jr. in disguise.  (Obviously I am excluding Wart, since Mario never actually battled him, what with the whole thing being just a dream and all.)

My amazing wife got me exactly what I wanted for Father’s Day this year – a Nintendo 3DS. Now I know I had been hemming and hawing a bit over whether to pick one of these bad boys up right away. And quite frankly, I’m not sure that I missed out on anything [...]

OK, I’ve calmed down a bit, sorry about that.
But you can understand why I’m so excited – Nintendo just had their E3 press conference, where they announced their next home console, the Wii U.

Still, I have been [...]

Well, should I?
I’m not *always* an early adopter.  I’ve so far managed to resist the temptation of the Verizon iPhone, believing it makes sense to wait until the 4G model.  But when it comes to Nintendo, I tend to like to get my gear early.  Mehler and I (mostly just me) camped out for 30 [...]

I hate most stores, but I can browse for hours at Nintendo World.
If you’ve never been there, you should definitely check it out. It’;s in Rockefeller Center, next door to Today’s studio. They have some great events over there, like fun launches for new games, usually complete with T-shirt giveaways (I [...]

OMG! Today, Nintendo just held an amazing E3 conference. Some of the highlights:
Donkey Kong Country Returns – A new 2D Wii game in the style of the SNES classic series. It’s like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, except with Donkey Kong! Sweet!. And since its coming out this fall, we [...]

It’s here – it’s finally here!  We just gout our Netflix Wii disc in the mail!  Now we can stream tons of movies and TV shows right to our TV!  I just checked, and there are a lot more choices in the “Watch Instantly” category than there were the last time I checked, which was [...]
