Super Nintendo Games That Should Have Been Added To The SNES Classic.
As great and nostalgic the SNES Classic was, it left out some impressive games. Despite allowing older players to relive their childhoods, the SNES Classic left out some of the best SNES games ever created.

Nintendo 'Falls' Short This Season
Getting Direct September has come and gone with no new Nintendo 64 game for Nintendo’s Switch Online Expansion Pass. With October upon us it has been almost exactly one year since Nintendo launched the Switch Online Expansion Pass with its original nine titles. Since December of 2022 Nintendo has released one title per month for a total of nine new titles (at least outside of Japan). The only odd months out in this distribution pattern have been November 2021, and September of 2022-the reason for my lamentations.

Going to the Arcade is My Favorite 80s Memory
There was nothing as wonderful and magical as a video game arcade when I was a kid. I remember them from some of my earliest memories. Walking into an arcade was exciting, breathtaking, and just pure fun. Talk about sensory overload. We loved everything about it.

Golden Boy Nintendo
Nintendo almost can’t do any wrong. They enjoy a very privileged position in the video game industry allowing them to take risks and make errors that would have their competitors hiding from the backlash from their user base.

Return of the CRT: A Gamer's Mid-Life Crisis
I remember getting rid of that old, bulky CRT television I had from the early-to-mid 2000s. It was a Sony Wega 20” and I got it on a payment plan from Future Shop. I loved that TV. But what I loved even more was kicking its giant and heavy ass to the curb in favor of a brand spanking new 2006 Sharp 37” HDTV. It weighed half as much and offered a larger, superior picture.

These 5 Things Would Make Animal Crossing So Much Better
Let me preface this with 3 critical points: I am a huge fan of The Sims and have played the game since I was 18 years old. (I'm 33) Animal Crossing fascinated me so much that I bought the limited edition ACNH handset before ever playing it for the first time. (No regrets!) I enjoy Animal Crossing, but it has fewer features than The Sims 4 and costs way more.

A Non-Fan’s Perception of Pokémon . Top Story - August 2022.
I don’t like Pokémon, never have, it’s just never been of interest to me. And I know, that’s damn near scandalous, Pokémon is one of the most loved video game franchises out there.

Does Pikachu use direct current or alternating current?
Pikachu generates electricity on a DIRECT current basis and its output is also direct current. There is a mechanism to raise the voltage between the generation and output, and depending on the boost principle, alternating current may be used.

How Video Games Have Influenced Me
My earliest video game-related memory occurred when I was eight years old. My mom and uncle were playing Mario Kart Wii in the living room as I looked on. My mom lost that race and handed me her pink remote. My uncle picked Grand Prix and 50cc and I had to make the biggest decision of my life so far, which character do I select. I had never seen any of these characters and was stuck between the green one with a big nose and the mushroom-looking one. Ultimately I picked Toad and to this day Toad is my favorite Mario character. Obviously, I lost that race and many more after but eventually, I got the hang of the game and won my first race against my uncle. From that moment on I became obsessed with video games.
