It's been bittersweet saying goodbye to the 3DS eShop, especially on the system's 12th birthday. At least I got to redownload some games/videos and take a trip down memory lane. Plus the music on the Wii U eShop was so good. It will be missed.

 
 
 

Happy birthday Panda! I always get excited when you like one of my comments. Me in my head: Panda noticed me! Have a great day! 😁


 
 
 

Since it released today, I think it's fair to announce that I got to work on the set of The Last of Us show back in 2021! I'll probably check it out later since I need to get a whole new streaming service to watch it, but I hope you guys enjoy it!


 
 
 

I want to thank-you guys for being so supportive as I've settled into lurking more than my earlier days. I'm still here, tossing upvotes around. Much love. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday!

The Beautiful Silence of Metroid

"..." Did you hear that? That was the dialogue of a silent protagonist. I’m a pretty reserved person so you might think I’d be into silent protagonists, right? Not quite. When I’m playing games, I like to be immersed ...

Celebrating the Nintendo 3DS' 10th Anniversary

The Nintendo 3DS leaves a legacy as one of Nintendo's most important systems during its time on the market. However, the system needed to overcome a bumpy launch window first to achieve that success. To celebrate a system I've loved ov...

 
 
 
 

So glad to see a new TMNT game! I haven't gotten into a good one since 2009's Smash-Up and their appearance in Injustice 2.

 
 
 

Now that E3 2021's live event has been cancelled, do you think any companies are going to join E3's virtual events even though they can stream presentations on their own?

 
 
 

Out of everything that could possibly be announced during the next Nintendo Direct, I'm hoping for a new 2D Metroid game the most. Fingers crossed! Honorable mentions: New Kirby game, Skyward Sword HD
