“You’ll See Gold Everywhere– Rings, Coins, and Medals, Oh, My!” If you were to utter the words “Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog will appear in a game together” in 1996, you would have been laughed off of the face of this earth. If you said it in 2001, you would also have been laughed off … Read more
“Happy birthday, Mario” Super Mario All-Stars has already been released. This compilation of remastered versions of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 was released on the Super Nintendo, originally. This is the same exact game as that, but packaged in with various items … Read more
“The Brawl to End Them All” It feels like an eternity of waiting, countless “official” character rosters, numerous weekday updates on the Smash Bros. Dojo website, and three kick-to-the-stomach delays, but finally Super Smash Bros. Brawl has arrived to North American shores. All your favourite Nintendo all-stars enter the fray for one epic brawl to … Read more
“Paper-thin but thick with fun.” What was once scheduled to be a Gamecube game during its development time is now what I consider to be the second killer app for the Wii, Super Paper Mario. Just because the game started in development on the Wii’s predecessor does not make this game a Cube port as … Read more
“Swings for the fences but comes up a bit short.” In 2005, Nintendo let, at that time, Namco take a swing at creating their own sports game featuring the world-renowned characters of the Super Mario franchise.

“A good effort undermined by a few, fatal flaws” Mario Party 9 revitalizes a franchise that was once thought to be dead; with the dark days of Mario Party’s 6-8 and the newfound success of Wii Party, it seemed there wasn’t ever going to be a Mario Party 9. Yet it’s here, and it’s here … Read more
“Ain’t No Party Like a Mario Party” Nintendo is one of those companies whose fans are almost impossible to please. Make a change with one of Nintendo’s franchises and the game sucks. Make no changes with one of Nintendo’s franchises and the game is a rehash. Therefore, Nintendo must constantly walk a tightrope between tradition … Read more
“Four score and several sports ago” Mario is a man of a thousand professions. When he’s not cleaning pipes as a plumber, he’s refereeing a match between Little Mac and King Hippo, and when he’s not doing one of his many jobs he takes the time to cut loose and have some fun. Perhaps on … Read more
“Mario parties his way onto the Wii” When Nintendo released it’s latest system, the Wii, gamers everywhere were overcome by how innovative the controls sounded. That’s one thing that Nintendo has over its competitors. Nintendo never was a graphics kind of company, they were just always about making the games fun. Once we heard about … Read more
“Back in my day, we had 2 hidden stages, and DK was playable!” I can’t BELIEVE there are actually 8 games in this series now. It’s another mark of just how old I am I guess. I can remember picking up the original Mario Party back in 1999, and getting countless blisters on my hands … Read more
