Jetpac is an arcade-style shooter made by Ultimate Play the Game for the ZX Spectrum and the VIC-20. Ultimate Play the Game later became known as Rare, a company responsible for a number of hits. One of those hits was Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64. As an unlockable bonus minigame on DK64 you could play Jetpac. This is the version I’ve played and will be the basis for this little review.

The arcade hit Donkey Kong famously had its first true appearance unaltered for home consoles on the Nintendo Switch, but there have been a number of ports attempting to replicate the experience between these two releases. Today I’d just like to talk about two of them. Continue reading “Donkey Kong (NES & N64)”
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is an adventure game for the Wii U. It is also an HD remake of the The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the GameCube. For this review I’ll be talking about Wind Waker as a game in general rather than pointing out the differences between the remake and the original.

Super Mario Maker has been quite popular on the Wii U. In fact, it’s the very thing that made me NEED to get a Wii U sooner rather than later. I’ve since acquired the system and the game. Needless to say I’m beyond pleased, but I’ll save all my gushing for the upcoming review. Not too long ago (though perhaps a bit to long at this point to be all that newsworthy), Nintendo announced in their Nintendo Direct that Super Mario Maker would be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. This gave me mixed feelings. Continue reading “Thoughts on Super Mario Maker Coming to Nintendo 3DS”
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a Nintendo 3DS remake of the original Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. For this review I will be assuming you’ve either seen my review of the original, seen some other coverage of such, or have experienced it yourself like so many others. I’ll be focusing on this version’s changes as well as my first time experiences with the Master Quest mode. With all of that out of the way, let’s see how Ocarina of Time, often considered one of the greatest games of all time, goes about keeping up with the times.

Super Mario World is a 2D platformer for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the follow-up to Super Mario Bros. 3 and is the first of the Super Mario World series. Bowser is up to his old tricks once again of kidnapping the princess. This time he keeps her locked up in a castle on Dinosaur Island, where he has also imprisoned many of the inhabitants, the Yoshis, inside of eggs. Apparently they don’t just hatch from them… but… okay, whatever. It’s up to Mario and Luigi to save the day. Continue reading “Super Mario World”
