Nintendo

After a brief hiatus, the Brutal Roundup is back! We have a number of important bits of news hitting this week, including the all but aknowledged existence of the Playstation Neo, the release window for the NX announced, and more. In the less newsy side, we have an awesome interview …

Nintendo’s original handheld celebrated a birthday last week, as it turned a ripe 27 years old, and we’re donning our rose-tinted glasses to have a fond look back.

Another week, another group of releases: this time including the full launch of Lost Reavers and the Virtual Console release of Wii classic, Xenoblade Chronicles.

If you thought you were done spending money on Nintendo’s strategy franchise, you were wrong.

The disappointment is almost palpable today as Nintendo announces that they won’t have a Wii U successor on the shelves till next year, and that the new Zelda will not only be the only game playable at E3 2016, but it’s also delayed.

Star Fox Zero has come at last, and you can give Game Freak’s Pocket Card Jockey a go too.

Pay just a little bit extra for a lot more physical goods, including an art book, six-song soundtrack, and sticker sheet.

Japan and Europe will see the title a little later: August 25th and September 2nd, respectively.

In a recent investor presentation, GameStop talked all kinds of things, including the new consoles on the way. That’s consoles… with an ‘s’.

This week brings an incredibly healthy serving of downloads to the eShop, including SNES virtual console games on the New 3DS, Bravely Second, and the Lost Reavers beta.

Nintendo’s first app has been out for 7 days, and is doing well.  Not only that, but it’s a lot of goofy fun.  Our young, virgin thoughts.

Preload Star Fox Zero, or enjoy Game & Watch Gallery 4. There’s not much else to see this week.

In the first of what is set to become a regular series here at Brutal Gamer, I am going to be reviewing Super Metroid, the classic game which originally released on the Super Nintendo, way back in March of 1994.

A Pokken Tournament demo comes to Wii U, as does Wii Baseball title, Mario Super Sluggers.

Nintendo joins the wacky world of the App Store on March 31st with its first mobile title, Miitomo.
