You've Met With A Terrible Fate, Haven't You?
I was four years old, and my aunt and uncle gave me socks and underwear for my birthday. I sat on the steps and sulked. How could the two people I idolized most give me socks and underwear?! They sat there deadly serious as I felt the tears well up in my eyes, and made no move to stop me as I took off to sit on the steps and silently lament this ultimate betrayal. They then brought out their real gift to me -- a Super Nintendo. I didn’t realize it then; but they had given me an escape from the endless fights between my parents.

More to come: Animal Crossing New Horizons
This is going to be a long one. Am I beating a dead horse of a topic? There is much to say because the game itself isn't exactly complete and for this article to stand the test of time, I had to go in deep. The game is now at version 1.4 and we have had some tweaks and additions to satisfy the people. As mentioned in my previous articles, this is strictly my own opinion and it's your game (you do you).

Nintendo Switch Pro
Nintendo Switch Pro & Why Nintendo needs a powerful console. Nintendo Switch Pro Circulating since 2018, rumors suggest Nintendo is working on a new more powerful Switch.

Ninjala: First Impressions
My hype for this game began when it appeared during Nintendo's Mini-Direct back in March; it seemed like a cute new IP, revolving around Ninja-powered bubble gum and taking place in an appealing world that blends two of my favorite aesthetics together, Japanese culture and architecture with modern-day Western society. The free-to-play battle royale-style gameplay only strengthened my resolve to try it out once it dropped later in the summer, since I haven't had much experience with the genre before, and with the state of the pandemic right now, I felt like I needed something new to keep my spirits up while in quarantine.

10 Characters that I want in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
With the release of the next fighter for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate creeping ever closer, fans wonder who else could be joining the cast of 76 characters. Over the years, the Smash Bros games have gone from being a series where you pit your favorite Nintendo characters against each other to being a celebration of gaming as a whole when characters like Sonic and Snake made their debuts in Brawl. Fast forward a handful of years and we have a plethora of third party fighters like Mega Man, Pac Man, Ryu, Cloud and more. After Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie, Terry Bogart and Byleth were added thanks to the first Fighter Pas, it was announced that there would be a second Fighter Pass with six more fighters joining the roster. It has already been revealed that the first of these six characters would be a character from one of Nintendo’s newest IPs: ARMS. That character is set to be revealed on June 22, but there are still five other spots up for grabs. With so many possibilities for those spots, it was rather tough to narrow this list down to just 10, so I needed to set some ground rules first.

Animal Crossing New Horizons
I have long wanted to play games in the Animal Crossing franchise, but I was always consumed with school and never found the time until Covid-19 made everyone shelter in place. Yes, Covid-19 is serious, but it did give many people free time and left them unemployed, including me.

How has Animal Crossing: New Horizons helped people through lock down?
So, my last article on poor old Animal Crossing: New Horizons wasn't very positive. However, as a quintessential pessimist it was only natural for me to air my grievances before doling out any praises. Now it is time to praise, so in this article I will be looking at how Animal Crossing: New Horizons has helped people through lock down, and, furthermore, I'll be discussing how it has improved players’ mental health in general. While writing this, I reached out to the lovely people in the Animal Crossing community and asked for their thoughts on the subject, and they were gracious enough to grant me some interesting insights, which I’ll be including in this article.

The UPDATED History of Nintendo’s Paper Mario
Before getting into Paper Mario for what the series has become today, we first have to talk about Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Super Mario RPG was developed in 1996 by the video game company Square, and was officially published by Nintendo. It was produced by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto; creator of Mario and other Nintendo icons like Donkey Kong & The Legend of Zelda. The companies began development in mid 1994 and had already finished a prototype by the summer of 1995. It was announced shortly after at the Jump Festa in Japan, welcomed with a positive and excited reception.
