When it comes to Nintendo franchises, there are a few obvious genres that tend to come to mind. There are 2D and 3D platformers, like the Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby and Wario Land franchises. There are action-adventure games of various types, like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus. And there are a fair…
Well folks, it’s that time once again! Yep, as the title suggests, we’re now planning our Summer 2024 Cross Community Mario Kart tournament here at Gaming Reinvented, where even more players will compete against each other for a $150 grand prize! This will take place at 8pm on August 3rd 2024, and be open to…
Ah, Mario & Luigi. A series very dear to our hearts here at Gaming Reinvented, and one which we may honestly prefer to Paper Mario or the original Super Mario RPG overall. Unfortunately, it’s also a series whose developer didn’t exactly do too well in the last few years. Indeed, with Paper Jam performing below…
Wow, we really didn’t expect this. Indeed, if you asked us what series would be getting a new game in this Direct, Zelda would be way down our list. Sure, a remake or remaster sounded plausible. Like those Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD ports people have been talking about, or a remake of…
Given the lack of DLC for Mario Party Superstars, it was obvious that some sort of new game was on the horizon. After all, a game like that rarely goes without DLC unless there’s a reason, with said reason usually being that the game is treated as an annual deal rather than a once per…
When it comes to Metroid Prime 4, information has always been thin on the ground. Oh sure, we knew it existed, and we had a rough draft of the logo from that E3 presentation… But beyond that, there was nothing to go on. We knew the game existed, we knew that Retro had taken over…
Well, we knew it was coming. Indeed, we even knew what month it was happening in, given how Nintendo announced it alongside the Switch 2 teaser. But now it’s official. The next Nintendo Direct is coming tomorrow, and will feature 40 minutes of information on upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch. Here’s the announcement about…
When it comes to unused content in video games, there are a few obvious things that come to mind. Unused weapons not found elsewhere. Unused maps, like those used for testing purposes. And various other random unused resources, like music, animations and models hidden away in the files. To a degree, all this is true…
When it comes to acquisitions, Nintendo is generally a lot more conservative than other companies in their industry. Oh sure, they bought Next-Level Games in 2021, and both SRD and Dynamo Pictures (aka Nintendo Pictures) in 2022… But that’s about it for recent purchases from the company. They tend to work with third party partners…
Have you ever wanted an easy way to make custom levels for Super Mario 64? To make them in a drag and drop tool like Super Mario Maker, without any of that pesky custom modelling stuff? Well, if so, you’re in luck! Because two modders by the names of Rovertronic and Arthurtilly have now released…
