THE LAST CHALLENGERS ARE APPROACHING!

Image
With only two characters left to be revealed in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate's DLC Pack Two (and seemingly the last two of the game) speculation has been running rampant. Whether both characters are revealed during Nintendo's June 2021 Direct, or one is revealed at a later date, I have my mind set on two possibilities of who the last two characters could be. IMPA,  The Legend of Zelda Out of Nintendo's flagship franchises, the Legend of Zelda has been grossly underrepresented in the crossover games of all crossover games. Since the announcement of Ultimate, over three years ago, Impa was the Zelda character I wanted the most to be a playable fighter. I know that Skull Kid was/ is the more popular Zelda rep, however, Impa felt more deserving in my eyes. The character, in various incarnations, has been a staple of the Zelda franchise since the very first game (says the manual). The iteration of the character which I wanted to join the roster back in 2018 was from Ocarina of ...

BANJO AND KAZOOIE JOIN SMASH ULTIMATE

Image
A new Smash challenger approaches at E3 as Nintendo has announced the latest character to join the Super Smash Bros Ultimate roster. And that character is actually two characters, Banjo and Kazooie- in their two for one classic duo. Before we get into the actual trailer, let’s take a look at their history. Side note: if your confused, Banjo is the bear (his name is based off the instrument he plays, the banjo), and Kazooie is the red bird (her name is based off the instrument, the kazoo). Banjo and Kazooie were created in 1998 where they debuted in the game of their own names “Banjo-Kazooie”.  That game was developed by Rareware, the company which developed the beloved Donkey Kong games, and the original game was released in the Nintendo 64. In that game, the storyline follows Banjo and Kazooie stopping the evil witch Gruntilda who captured Banjo’s sister. Banjo and Kazooie have had numerous platform games, three main games, “Banjo-Kazooie” (1998), “Banjo-Tooie” (...

SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
Hey everyone, today was the panel for Nintendo at E3 where a bunch of stuff was shown off. At the convention, some games were available to play such as Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee. However the main trailer that was shown off was the new Smash Bros port which was teased earlier this year, which is now titled "Super Smash Bros: Ultimate" where everyone, I mean everyone that has ever been playable in a Smash game before will be a playable character in full release in this game, as well as a couple new characters. Above is the video hosted by the director of the game, Masahiro Sakurai on all the content. Below is the complete list of characters in order in the upcoming game. Mario Donkey Kong Link Samus Yoshi Kirby Fox Pikachu Luigi Ness Captain Falcon Jigglypuff Peach Bowser Ice Climbers Sheik Zelda Dr. Mario Pichu Falco Marth         [21e.

POKEMON "LET'S GO" TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
The new Pokemon Games for the Nintendo Switch have been announced, and the rumors are true, the two new games are titled "Let's Go Pikachu" and "Let's Go Eevee", however with the new trailer, we see a brand new Kanto remake which looks brilliant with brand new features, a slightly different art style, and some exciting integrations. So let's go ahead and take a look at the trailer. So with the Let's Go games, we see that the game seems to fall in line with Pokemon Yellow a little more with Pikachu being a protagonist. However, in these games, Pikachu or Eevee will be the starter, depending on what version of the game you get. In the trailer, we see the nato region professor, Professor Willow back. He seems the base as he was 25 years ago. I am not too sure how he will be weaved into the narrative of the game, like if his grandson is going to be Blue, the antagonist or if that is going to be changed. In the background of the shot, there ar...

MARIO ANIMATED FILM ANNOUNCED

Image
The company that is responsible for the creation of three films and one spin-off film about yellow fart joke machines is going to make a Mario movie. That is right, Illumination Entertainment is going to make a Mario film confirmed by Nintendo. To start off with the facts, the film will be co-financed by Nintendo themselves alongside Universal Pictures (who I will get into a bit), the film will be produced by Illumination founder, Chris Meledandri and the legendary creator himself, Shigeru Miyamoto! So what do I think? this is absolutely awesome. Illumination as a company has found some success in their films, from there great animation style to their beloved characters. But bringing what is arguably the most beloved character in video games to the big screen is sure to be a success. Not only that, with the support of Nintendo and Miyamoto himself, the film has all the guides it needs to have a story which flows. If I had to speculate, the film would most likely have Mario sav...

NINTENDO E3 2017

Image
Today Nintendo dropped a lot of new at E3, they announced a lot of games, a couple of them I really want to talk about because I am so excited. But the new games we have coming to the switch is Yoshi, and Kirby and now Metroid, Samus is back! But here is a full playlist of all the Nintendo stuff at E3, including Zelda breath of the Wild DLC, Splatoon 2 gameplay, Just Dance 2018, the trailer for Mario + Rabbids,  and Rocket League is coming to the Switch. But the big things everyone is talking about, Mario Odyssey, the trailer was so awesome, it reveals so many features that can be done in the game, that the hat is more than just a sentient hat, it can control everything, which I guess will probably take a big part in the story of taking down fancy dressed Bowser. I am excited for Odyssey and the worlds that the game is going to take Mario to looks so awesome. The game I am the most excited about is the Sonic game for the Switch, Sonic Forces. This looks so amazing, ...

POKEMON GO GEN 2 ARE COMING!

Image
Pokemon Go is finally going to have 80 new Gen 2 Pokemon coming to the game this week! I am so excited, I will brush the dust off the app and play it.The update is around 6 months from when the game launched, but I think that not as many people will play, but it will still be a lot of people playing.There are new items in the game such as new Berries which can slow the movement of Pokemon, and there are going to be new stones which I believe you need to evolve a gen 1 Pokemon into a gen 2.Like Golbat to Crobat. I am so excited for the new Pokemon to drop in Pokemon Go.I am going to get Cyndaquil as my starter Pokemon, what starter Pokemon are you going to get? let me know by dropping a comment below.As always thanks for reading, take care.

NINTENDO SWITCH PRESENTATION + NEW GAME TRAILER REVIEWS

Image
So Nintendo had its press conference last night where they showed off so many new games including, Zelda: breath of the wild, Mario Oddessy, many more games, and of course the Nintendo Switch,  so let's get into it. So first the Nintendo switch, it is going to be released on March the 3rd and will retail for $299.There are going to be 2 styles of the console, one which is black and gray and the other has one blue remote and one red remote for two players. Zelda Breath of the Wild, wow, that game looks incredible, the story line seems interesting and there is so much drama in the game, Zelda is looking stressed out and also looks like a bad ass, the graphics in this game look on point, and I am excited to see the story of this game and hopefully play it. The next game revealed is Super Mario Odyssey, this game looks so fun,m Mario is in New York jumping around, there is a forest map and the story once again is Bowser has captured princess peach.But the game still looks ...

SUPER MARIO RUN REVIEW

Image
Super Mario Run is Nintendo's first mobile game (Pokemon Go was more of a Niantic project than Nintendo) which is Mario on his quest to save Princess Peach from Bowser.The game mechanics are good, Mario automatically runs and you have to tap your screen to jump, so it is like the classic, classic Mario games. This app is free, you get the firs 3 levels free, but there are about 20 other levels, which you have to purchase for $10.00. So is it worth it, Yeah kind of, in the levels, you have to collect 5 special colored coins, and when you collect them there are another 5 in the level and then another 5.So 1 level can kind of turn into 3 levels, so for $10.00, it is almost like 60 levels.So this also adds to the replay value of the game. You can also play other 'player online', but I think that its a computer. The game is only available on apple devices, at this moment, which may be a reason why this isn't as big as Pokemon go or something. I would give this app...

DITTO IN POKEMON GO!

Image
Pokemon Go has been out for a while with the peak play time in the initial July release, now the game is dying, few players like myself, have come back for the Halloween update but then Niantic announced the Thanksgiving special which isn't anything amazing.But the biggest mystery, Ditto is now in the game finally, and you can get him anywhere as he can be disguised as the most common Pokemon which are Pidgey, Rattata, and Magikarp.So Ditto can be anywhere so I'm definitely going to go try catch him.I have already possibly encountered him as pidgeys' and rattatas' that have less than 150cp have ran away from me when I've caught them with a great ball.The Legendary and Generation 2 update will come out in December so I will be playing Pokemon Go then.I will do an update on my Pokemon Go status before then so subscribe to get that. Today it Thanksgiven, so Happy thanksgiving if you celebrate that, I am just thankful for everyone that is following this blog, and j...

NINTENDO SWITCH TRAILER

Image
So Nintendo has released the trailer for their new console/device which is the Nintendo Switch which has many different modes of connecting to your tv, playing as a portable device and taking the controls off the portable device to make it like a home console.The idea of the device seems cool, but I will have to wait and see if I will buy it.Feel free to leave your thought in the comments below.As always thanks for reading, take care.

MY POKEMON GO COLLECTION

Image
So I have been playing Pokemon Go for over 2 months now and I have had many rage worthy incidences but I have managed to keep   my  cool ...  somehow???? Ok so here is my Pokedex I have 67 registered in here and they are nothing special.I managed to get all the starters, I started off with Charmander and then I managed to get Bulbasaur and then Squirtle.My story with Squirtle was that I went out found a slowpoke and then I was walking elsewhere and then I found a Spearow which I caught and then Squirtle showed up outside a dollar store.I threw a ball and I caught him, but he managed to get out, managed to catch Squirtle again he escaped I was going to throw another Pokeball but then I realized I ran out ;( I only have 7 full evolutions I nearly completed the abra evolution but Alakazam was in the sightings but I couldn't track him down. Only on Thursday I was at home and a Snorlax came up in the sightings but I sadly couldn't track him down. I don't have...

APPLE I-PHONE 7 REVEAL AND MARIO MOBILE GAME

Image
So Apple just revealed their iPhone 7 and it looks incredible.Two cameras are something new, but having a stereo type sound system is also amazing and is a problem other apple products have suffered from.Apple also released with it the new Airpods which are wireless earbuds, which is something really extraordinary. The most exciting news though is the announcement that Mr.Miyamoto made was that they are going to release an official Mario mobile game! this is awesome.Ther is going to be like an endless run game and I believe you can vs other players online.It is so great to see Nintendo a company that has taken a long time to convert to things like disc now striving in the market where games are at.So I guess Sonic had to share the light in the app store someday. Well, are you excited for Mario coming to your mobile device? let me know by dropping a comment below.I try to make content every week here, so I would appreciate if you subscribe ,to not miss anythi...

POKEMON MOVIE?

Image
So after the success of the Pokemon Go game is there Hollywood is finding the opportunity for a live action Pokemon movie.Legendary Pictures is moving towards the idea.But WHAT! a Pokemon movie in live action would be insane.I am guessing that it would most likely follow the franchise's golden boy, Ash Ketchum with his beloved Pokemon, Pikachu.The Pokemon themselves would most likely be animated with cartoonish facial expressions to appeal more to kids.Overall would you like to have a live action Pokemon? let me know by dropping a comment below.As always thanks for reading, take care.

POKEMON GO REVEIW

Image
FINALLY! Ok so Pokemon go has finally come out and it is amazing.The game starts off with you able to create your own avatar and then you chose one of 3 starter Pokemon, Charmander,Bulbasaur  and I think Squirtle .I chose Charmander because I really want to evolve him to Charizard.Also, there have been a bunch of Zubat's spawning around my house so that Pokemon is probably going to be my most evolved. One thing before you get to do all that, the Pokemon Go servers have been up and down and it took me at least 11 trials to eventually get on.First time it said could not connect to the servers and then I retried, 7 or so times, I reinstalled the app again and it still didn't work., then I was going to accept the terms and conditions and the app crashes on me, that happened 5 times but then I managed to get past all that and then I was creating my avatar then it crashes, but then I tried  going on it again and it worked!SO advice: NEVER GIVE UP! ...

NINTENDO ANIMATED MOVIE UNIVERSE IN THE WORKS

Image
Nintendo has had a certain track record with film, like the Super Mario Bros, live action movie, however, this may all change.In a recent interview with Asahi Shimbun Nintendo CEO, Tatsumi Kimishima has said that the company needs to invest in video production and wants it to be on a global scale.He also said that he wants films to be produced sooner than five years away.With Nintendos previous projects it would most likely be that these films are going to be animated.There haven't been any words of what characters would be getting their own movies but I am suspecting that they would go with their very classic characters and games of Super Mario Bros, The legend of Zelda and Metroid.There could also be a possible Donkey Kong movie could be in there as well as well as a Tetris movie.The movies would most likely be in a shared cinematic universe like the MCU possibly leading up to a Super Smash Bros team up movie.Overall I would be down with a shared Nintendo film universe, let ...
