What does this mean, some loser kid From Japan made fake rumor about Zelda: BotW to get attention. And we should have serious discussion about where the line is crossed to get attention using unethical means...

Gaming Bits Quickie: Nazo no Murasame-Jou

Cham Chambara! Chambara! Chambara Bara! Chambara! NAZO NO MURASAME-JOU!!!!! In 1986 the Famicom Disk System Was Released, It was launched with Mystery of Murasame Castle. It became a success, It was released on the NES as "Quest to Murasame Castle". It spawned a franchise that still goes on to this day up to this day, to the Wii U and 3DS, or that's what I would say if this game had been a success, What happened?

Gaming Bits: In Defense of Donkey Kong 64...

There have been many games that were once praised when they first came out that people just don't think are that good anymore. Just look at the Sonic Adventure Duology (which I'll probably get to to fill in the need for Sonic 25th anniversary stuff on this blog), and Super Mario Sunshine. But there's also games that are essentially guilty pleasures despite being panned at launch (See ET, Superman 64, and Sonic 06). But one game has gotten an unfair rap in recent years... So in honor of DK turning 35 years old, lets defend Donkey Kong 64...

A. Yoshi Opinion Piece: Enough of the NX Rumors, just show us the damned console...



So Nintendo NX rumors, they're no longer fun to listen to... Remember when Nintendo first teased the console. It's been almost a year and a half since the original tease, and Nintendo hasn't said much since the original announcement while Microsoft had a tease for XBOX Scorpio (at E3 no less), and Sony showed off the PS4 Neo as the PS4 Pro, I don't care if it didn't get the best reception, what matters is that they did it, but nintendo must like all these rumors and supposed leaks, Here I'll tell you why these are BS!!!!

My Top 5 Metroid Bosses



Even if Nintendo has screwed over the metroid franchise in the past decade, it still is a marquee Nintendo franchise, always has been, and always will be...What's an atmospheric action adventurer without great bosses. Metroid has always had great bosses. From Giant alien mutant lizard thingies, to pterodactyl/Lizard hybrids. These bosses didn't get epic until Super Metroid. But here are my top 5 metroid bosses.

Gaming Bits: Nintendo Satellaview

Has anyone in the early 90s who have been the right age to be a Nintendo kid and wanted a Sega channel like service for the SNES? What if I told you that was a thing,, but only in Japan. If you got some foreign exchange student to get you a Super Famicom Plus a Satellaview back in the day and wondered why it didn't work, which none of that happened to any of you, but it's totally hypothetical, but if it did happen to you, here's what happened...

My Top 5 Metroid Powerups



Samus is under Fire, She sent an emergency directive. JOIN THE FIGHT!!!! It's Metroid top 10 time, we've got the top 5 power ups, Why only top 5? you don't question my life decisions and I won't question yours. Unlike Zelda, These power ups are mainly addons to the suit or gun, so these power-ups aren't as interesting, but these power ups were amazing because they looked cool, made the game more interesting to play, were a blast to use, or all 3. So let's explore Zebes, and get to...

Gaming Bits: Famicom Data Recorder and Family BASIC...

I honestly don't know if I can dedicate a whole segment to this thing, but I said I'd do this because right as I post a new gaming bits, I have to stick with the next segment idea until it gets written, and only then do Ideas come to my head, after that once I write a segment, My mind crashes, burns, and goes blank, so I'm forced to write stupid crap like this, here it's not stupid so much as it's not the best. Then again I dedicated a whole third of a year on a bunch of the most interesting consoles of the late 90s... Ah well, here's the Famicom data recorder...

Further thoughts on Nintendo Making Movies... (or why we don't need more anime/animated/CG Video game movies)

Well this deadline came out of nowhere, Yesterday I posted an opinion piece on Nintendo making Movies (YAY!!!!!), but I missed the point where they said they they wanted to go the Pixar Route and make animated movies (ummmmm.... Yay?), In my defense, I really suck at reading, Can't read chapter books that well, skim over long news articles, and get over whelmed by large amounts of words, heck, I can't read through my back catalog of blogs as much as the whole world can't... but let's talk further thoughts on Nintendo making movies, and it is indeed BS More animated Video Game movies are coming...

A. Yoshi Opinion Piece: Nintendo Movies, Good or Bad Idea?



I admit I could talk about the new ghostbusters, but I don't want to discuss news for the sake of discussing news, So I'll say a few words on the issue, Just because a female starring movie doesn't get all kind words said about it doesn't mean it's misogynistic, The all female cast isn't the problem in concept, it's just that these are generic chick flick protagonists. Producing clickbait articles and videos Saying this is sexist is insulting to actual sexist media, and using these same posts to say this has strong females is insulting to actual strong females in media. Anyway here's the main attraction of this blog...

My Top 10 Zelda Bosses



An epic game series needs epic bosses, Some of these Zelda bosses were satisfying to defeat, some were epic as frak, some had great mechanics you had to use for your advantage, but some had all 3. Here are the best Zelda bosses, what are the requirements of this list? Incorporate 1 or more of the factors above, and do it especially well. Here are my favorite Zelda Bosses starting with:

Top 10 Zelda Items



If you thought that I wouldn't take the whole Zelda top 10 list concept for it's 30th anniversary and run with it, You haven't known me that long or that well. The Cool Items of Zelda have helped me get through the toughest puzzles of the game, From Reaching new areas, to solving great puzzles, these 10 items really are the cream of the crop, at least for me. Besides, what else do I got to do this Super Bowl weekend.

Yoshiette 1: Talk about the commercials? There's a Pokemon one...

A. Yoshi: Don't make me laugh.

Joe Tokugawa: Release a review of that other Power Rangers Football episode?

AY: Maybe next year...

JT: But it's Super Bowl Fif...

AY: SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
