RANKED – Nintendo Switch Online’s NES Offerings (now with December 2018)
I’m a little late to the party on this, but in an effort to maintain the retro expertise persona I have around here I feel I should get myself on this NES Switch shizz and talk about the games. At present there’s 26 titles on the service, and I’m going to give each a sentence…
Opinion: Smash Bros. Ultimate impressions!
Smashtastic I have put in a considerable number of hours into Smash Bros. Ultimate since its launch last week. The above is where I fell character-wise Sunday morning; I’ve since added another several: I still have a few to go: Dark Samus, Incineroar, Greninja, Dark Pit, Toon Link, and Cloud are left. But hey, that’s…
Opinion: The Anticipation for Ocarina of Time (20th Anniversary update!)
Ocarina of Time is 20 years old today! So I thought I’d resurrect this opinion of my discovery of the game to celebrate, as I don’t think I can top what I wrote last year…but I’m going to elaborate a little more at the end. Enjoy! I’ve told this story before, but it’s gotten lost…
Opinion: Let’s talk about Square-Enix and Smash
With many outlets getting the opportunity to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the news has broke that Final Fantasy VII music retains the paltry two tracks Wii U/3DS received, and there has not been a sign of any FF representation outside of Cloud and the Midgar stage to be found thus far. This has been a…

Opinion: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Final Direct Reaction
A nasty headache put me out of commission for writing about this Thursday, but I’m ready to discuss what happened in the Direct! First off, Grinch leak was fake. It definitely seemed too good to be true, and while I kept my expectations in check it SURE would have been neat to see Mach…
Opinion: SMASH DIRECT 11/1! Let’s guess the things!
Nintendo announced the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct will be this Thursday, 11/1 at 7AM PST! It’ll be 40 minutes long and will be the last Smash specific Direct before the game is released! Since events are keeping me from work this morning, let’s do something far funner than thinking about that and speculate…
Music: 10 Spooky Tunes for Halloween – Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s “Shadow Temple”
The 2D Legend of Zelda games leaned a little into the supernatural and terror, but not quite like Ocarina of Time. While Wallmasters and Like Likes elicited a fear of loss of progress, the Stalfos, Gibdos and Ghini sprites were a little too cute to take seriously. Zelda II, Link to the Past and Link’s…
