  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

    It’s been an absolute joy to revisit this game, and it really does look great with its new HD sheen, and like with Wind Waker HD, I enjoy the handiness of having my map and items on the Wii U controller. Sure, there are occasional frustrations – like anytime you ride Epona, with her clunky…

  • Bayonetta (Super Smash Bros.)

    I love Bayonetta so damn much – both the character and her two games, which are some of my favorite gaming experiences – and so I was pretty damn happy when they announced that she’d be joining the Super Smash Bros. roster (and you can bet I’ll be getting her amiibo figure as soon as…

  • Xenoblade Chronicles X

    When you get into this game, you GET into this game. I’m only 6 hours in, and am still feeling myself around the various (and admittedly expansive) systems, and learning to appreciate the depth that’s on display here. What I do already know is that I so love being in this world, and exploring the…

  • Mario Kart 7

    Last month, as I was feeling sad because the new tracks were getting released for Mario Kart 8 and I didn’t have access to my Wii U (it was sent by sea from Japan), I broke down and picked up Mario Kart 7 for 3DS (the fact that it was on sale was further incentive).…

  • Bayonetta 2

    When I finished the first Bayonetta the other day, I did something I’ve never done before: I immediately started playing the sequel, because I couldn’t wait to play more. And as much as I had fun playing through Bayonetta, that first level alone in 2 was enough to let me know that I’m in for…

  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

    Oh, I never posted about getting Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U? Don’t be silly, of course I got it. Of course I’ve been having a blast playing with friends over. Of course the graphics are astoundingly beautiful and colorful. Of course there are more modes than you can shake a stick at. Of…

    The other game I got myself on Christmas day was actually two games, in the form of Bayonetta 1 and 2. Since I’d never fully completed the first one (back on the PS3), I decided to start by playing that, and oh boy am I getting a kick out of playing her with the Link…

  • EarthBound

    I got this on Christmas day through the Virtual Console, and I felt like a kid, holding up my Wii U controller and entering this Super Nintendo-powered world. Smaaash! I kinda feel like I should be wearing my Mother t-shirt when I’m playing this.
