    The Puzzle Piece February 2021 Top Stories from the month of January- Daniel Smith On January 6th, Protesters stormed into the capitol building in D.C. Joe Biden was Inaugurated on January 20th, as the 46th president of the United States. The Covid vaccine rolled out and it has been treating people across the world. The college football playoff Championship took place in Miami, Alabama defeated Ohio State 52-24 to win its 7th national title. - Game Review-Sheldon Eads Pros: ​Great graphics, Great music, Decent level design, Decent %100 bonus Cons: ​Some level segments looked unpolished. Lack of save feature. New Super Mario Bros. DS​ review ​ ​A Super Comeback I have recently replayed ​New Super Mario Bros.​ on the Wii U’s Virtual Console. It’s a revival of 2D platforming for ​Mario​ which prior to it, were just ports of classic ​Mario​ games to the Game Boy Advance. It was released for the Nintendo DS in 2006. For Mario’s first new adventure in a while it was a nice comeback, though it does have serious problems. The level design itself isn’t bad nor average, I just don’t think it’s fantastic. While the game is home to great levels (Look at World 4 and World 7 for instance), a lot of them have extreme flaws that prevent me from calling this a great game. The game’s save feature is very limited and only works after you finish a Tower, Castle, or using a Warp Cannon leading to a new world. The Wii U Virtual Console release remedies this by giving you save states but the original game had no reason to not make it where you can save anytime which is a feature you only get after finishing the last level.

I don't have enough to do anything that really looks good yet, but I figured I would go ahead and show off my home screen. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkmncSlKg 10/22/17, 7C53 PM Page 1 of 5 E Yeah! e9 r 12 D Advertisement Share this Post 2 Share Embed Comment Nintendoer 11/11/2015 9:59 AM Right now, one of my two Xenoblade Chronicles themes is showing, which is in rotation with six LoZ themes.

E Yeah! e0 Nintendoer 11/11/2015 10:00 AM I really wish I could show the contents of my folders in the comments instead of needing a separate post, but anyways... A couple things to note. This can serve as a community for DS titles, since you can simply show them off on your home screen.

  • Download the Photics Wii Review in PDF Format
    Special Wii Edition Around 20 years ago, in a mall on Long Island, I was introduced to the Nintendo Entertainment System. I was mesmerized by the promotional display. A huge crowd had gathered to see the new video game system. After seeing the colorful graphics and fun gameplay, I knew that I wanted one. Soon after that day, I had my very own 8-BIT gaming console. I had so much fun with the NES that I picked up the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 on their release days. But alas, the magic faded. Something went wrong with the GameCube. I just wasn't interested. Wii Review by The XBOX and the PlayStation 1 & 2 started to steal Nintendo's thunder. There was Mike Garofalo Photics.com another leak in Nintendo's popularity - PC gaming. For the best graphics and the best online play, nothing beats a desktop machine. I got caught up with MMORPGs - EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. While I was spending more time playing video games, I found myself focused on one game at a time. I wasn't excited about the next generation of console hardware. I didn't go to the arcades as much. I'd go almost an entire year without buying a new game. Caught in a gaming rut, I didn't see any reason to get excited about the new consoles. Originally, I dismissed the Wii. I thought that the name was stupid. I thought that the controller was a gimmick. Why would I want to flap my arms around at my TV? I viewed the Wii as a kid's toy.

Newman This thesis explores Nintendo’s past and present games and marketing, linking them to the broader trend of the commodification of nostalgia. The use of nostalgia by Nintendo is a key component of the company’s brand, fueling fandom and a compulsive drive to recapture the past. By making a significant investment in cultivating a generation of loyal fans, Nintendo positioned themselves to later capitalize on consumer nostalgia.
