The New Super Mario Brothers Review
...Well the super Mario brothers are back but this time their on dual screen. Yep that's right the new Super Mario bros are stomping their way round on your Nintendo DS in their latest adventure to destroy Bowser and his minions.

The amount of people that used to play video games were all of a sudden decreasing. This put the industry in a sort of frenzy. There was one company though that really showed their concern - that company was Nintendo. It was around 2004 when Nintendo stated they felt the industry needed to change, and so procedures were taking place to make those changes happen. The result: Both the Nintendo DS and Wii.
You'd almost have to be living under a rock in order not to hear of those systems. Their success thus far is simply unprecedented. But why is that? The answer is actually quite simple - those two systems are really easy to use. In a way, they go back to the basics of when games could be played by anyone. The DS uses a touch-screen as it's interface, and a stylus as it's "controller." Yet, this combination really works, and it's evident by the sales reflected by the ...more
Star Wolf and Falco Clones of Star Fox in Super Smash Bros Brawl
...Fans of Smash Bros have been complaining about one thing more than anything else when Melee was released. It was an issue about clones "duplicate characters". Like Dr. Mario to Mario, Pichu to Pikachu, Roy to Marth, Ganon to Captain Falcon.. etc.
