The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: Koopa Klaus
What happens when the dastardly King Koopa kidnaps Santa Claus? What else? The Mario Bros. (and Princess Toadstool and Toad) to the rescue! And then, all is well, and Toad even learned a lesson about giving. Now, let's see how well that holds up in New Super Mario...
Smash Bros. X-Mas
Since he's already all dressed up for the part, King Dedede decides to play Santa Claus for all the good little boys, girls, and anthromorphs in the Smash Bros. world: ...whoops! Someone must have mistakenly put a "naughty" box into the "nice" pile! But then, what did...

Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good NiGHTS
Before video game demos were commonplace enough that you could play them in your own home, SEGA devised a way to get people into the holiday spirit with one of their flagship titles for the Saturn known as Christmas NiGHTS. Bob Mackey of the 1UP Retro Blog has written...
Last-Minute Wii Shopping Ideas
This is coming a bit later than I had planned, hence the "last minute" part. Christmas is nearly upon us, and I've wanted to assemble a short Wii gift guide for those looking for a good game at a good price. Nothing against Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, but I haven't...

Classic 7up Christmas Commercial
I've decided to add a little Christmas cheer around here... Ah, how I miss the 7up Cool Spots. They had a nifty Super NES/SEGA Genesis game, and I think they just made the product a little more enjoyable, as you could easily look at the logo on your can or bottle of...
Tails and Sonic 2 Turn 17
I'm really going to have to quit acknowledging the anniversary of every little video game-related thing that comes up. But before I do that, one more for the road, I guess. SEGA's Sonic City Blognik pointed out today that Tails, and thus Sonic the Hedgehog 2, turned...
Caution: Spoiler Alert
Oh, do I ever hate spoilers. I'm willing to accept it after a given period of time-- there's a point where it's simply your fault if you haven't seen/played/read the material in question, I believe. What drives me crazy is when you never see it coming, and it's so...

A Look Back at 22 Years of Mario
It is much to my regret that at this most joyous time of year, i.e. the release of a new Mario title, that I am unable to really sit down and put pen to paper (or rather, fingers to keyboard) and talk about my history with the franchise and what it means to me. And it...
Mario Rings in the Holidays and New Super Mario Bros. Wii with Voicemail Messages
Is anyone else looking forward to New Super Mario Bros. Wii like I am? If so, then you might be interested in some of these cool voicemail recordings of Mario and Luigi which Nintendo of Canada's PR agency sent me earlier, featuring yet more awesome voice work by Mr....
Nintendo 64 Revealed at E3 1996
First, apologies for not updating the site more. On top of my regular duties, I've been working on reviewing some games, namely various versions of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010, and if SEGA ever responds, maybe Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. That said, I...
TMNT: Smash-Up Review Now on Kombo
At long last, following numerous interruptions, distractions, and other things getting in the way, my review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up for the Wii is now available on Kombo.com. And boy, is it a doozy. I think it would have been better served had it...
Boy Obsessed with Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!
Here's a little gem that was made back in 2007, but only found its way to the pages of GoNintendo earlier today. It's a fun little look back to what it was like playing (and trying to get) video games on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 80's, as Alex...
Scorpion vs. Donkey Kong
This won't end well... So, think you can beat his time? --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Miz: “I’m a Casual Gamer, and I’m Awesome”
Upon arriving at the hotel for the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 review event two weeks ago, THQ had left itineraries of what to expect. And there was one item of particular interest: a "Creation Workshop" in which we would create a wrestler in the new game and have it...
Tons of New Super Mario Bros. Wii Stuff
Wow, I never imagined that so much stuff surrounding the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii would surface in such a short time. But what better place to start than the intro, which shows how Peach gets snatched, as well as how the new power-ups get scattered across...
R.I.P., Captain Lou; We’re Gonna Miss You
What a whirlwind the past seven days have been. Wednesday, I fly out to LA to check out WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010, which I do on Thursday, flying back early Friday (arriving well into the evening), and then meeting my dad at the airport for Thanksgiving on Saturday...
How Games Were Marketed 31 Years Ago
Sorry the updates have been sparse lately, folks, a few things going on, and it will get worse before it gets better. Working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up for a review, I have to go check out WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 later this week, my dad is coming up...
