Shigeru Miyamoto infamously once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” After his most recent console offering – the journey of the serviceable but awkward and uninspired Star Fox Zero – the mantra, while noble in today’s gaming landscape, now has to be taken into consideration with Nintendo’s previous console, and the subsequent lead u...[Read More]
2016 and Video Games: The Bullshit Year in Review
Every year, by the time Christmas passes, we all take stock in the year we had. Many of us look back, promise to do better next year, and look forward to a better New Year. I don’t make that promise, because I know I’m going to fuck up just as bad in the upcoming year as I did in the year I’m ending, if not worse. I’m old; I ain’t changing anything except my underwear, and even THAT can be prolong...[Read More]

Watch 40 Minutes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gameplay on Wii U
I realize that we’ve been remiss in covering Zelda: Breath of the Wild news and videos. To make up for it, how about I post 40 minutes of the upcoming Wii U and Switch title? Game Center DX, a popular Japanese variety show, put the Wii U version of the game through its paces for a good 40 minutes.
