Fills Nintendo's gap
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
Nintendo decided to not include a power cord with the New Nintendo 3DS XL. I guess they thought everyone had previous versions of the DS consoles and could just use the same ones. This handheld was my first so I thank Insignia for providing this. I like the car adapter, too.

Mario Kart in 3-D!
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
Sure, many of the courses look very familiar, but it's fun playing Mario Kart in 3-D. I bought this game with my New Nintendo 3DS XL and it's been great being able to take the racing on the road.

You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Nintendo's next franchise
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
I'm not a big gamer and I've only had Nintendo consoles. The usual first-person shooter games don't really do it for me but Splatoon is fun. It may look like it's only for kids but so do all of Nintendo's games... but don't let that stop you! Online play is my favorite, teaming up with three others players against another team of four. I've had a lot of fun turning into a squid, painting the ground my team's color, and mowing down opponents. You'll become addicted very quickly.
Now I just have to find those Splatoon Ambiio...

Nintendo in your pocket
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
I haven't had a handheld Nintendo console since the Game Boy but a friend talked me into picking this up and I'm glad I did. The 3-D is cool but is usually too much for me so I dialed it down to the lowest setting (it can also be turned off).
The only games I've purchased are Mario Kart 7 and the new Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and I might try to keep it at that for a while but I like being able to play in my backyard, while traveling, or even on lunch breaks at work.
Just a note: This does NOT come with a power cord. Nintendo assumes most people have one from a previous DS product.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

Make your own Super Mario levels!
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
Anyone who likes Mario and has an ounce of creativity will love this game. You get to put together your own Super Mario levels. The more you create, the more features in your arsenal. You use the stylus and Gamepad's touchscreen to place everything where you want them. It's important (and easy) to test your levels to make sure they're actually doable (you don't want to make it impossible!). You can also upload your levels and play others' via an internet connection. A fitting way to celebrate Super Mario's 30th anniversary!

Another Doctor Who Christmas
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
Doctor Who is known for its Christmas specials and this is the first one featuring 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi in full (we saw him for a few seconds after 11th Doctor Matt Smith regenerated in 2013's "The Time of The Doctor"). This one features Santa Claus as well as the guy who plays Strax as one of the two elves. It's spooky, it's surprising and, at times, it is touching. If you collect Doctor Who on Blu-ray, you'll need this for your collection.

Fun for Mario fans
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: Geoffrey
I'm far from a serious gamer but I've reconnected with my Mario fandom over the last year since purchasing my Wii U. I've also never played any Mario Party game before (shocking, I know).
Mario Party 10 is pretty cool, but better with friends. It's basically a virtual board game with four characters (the computer plays if you don't have three other real people to play with you). Instead of separate game pieces, you're all riding on the same piece. Depending on what space you land on, you can play games to pick up stars and the winner is the player with the most stars at the end. But you can also lose stars and Bowser's out to get you, too.
I haven't played this too many times but it's been fun when I did. I wouldn't necessarily consider this "must-have status" but I'd still recommend it if you have a Wii U.
If you're into Amiibo and don't yet have this Mario yet, I recommend getting this pack instead of the standalone game because this game is only $10 more with the Amiibo but the Amiibo is $13 by itself. (When Mario Party 10 launched earlier in the year, this bundle was the only way to get this Mario Amiibo... but it has since been released separately and is not at all difficult to find.)

I love it except for lack of AM
on October 4, 2014
Posted by: Geoffrey
This radio has almost everything I wanted: digital tuner, presets, Bluetooth, nice alarm... but it's missing AM. I overlooked that fact when I found it had everything else on my checklist.
It looks really cool and sleek. The sound is great. Bluetooth is easy to connect. FM signal is clear.
But I think I need my AM radio for news and baseball so I'll unfortunately be returning this nice device.
