Funniest Nintendo Gamer Thoughts Spam Vol. 1

As this site as continued to grow so has the amount of spam it has received. The funny thing about spam is that it tends to be nonseneical. So I thought "this would be an easy blog post, all I have to do is copy and paste and maybe add a stupid picture of a guy in a SPAM can. So far my favorite is this:

"I watch the trailer of Mario and Sonic Olympics 3DS Game. According to me this game will be rock."

Disney and Nintendo: Seperated at Birth

Disney and Nintendo share a lot in common. Each have characters known around the world. Both have music that will stick in your head. They also are very protective of their copyrights. How can one Japanese company and one American company be so similar? I have some thoughts on that matter to share with you after the break.

Video Game Music of the Week: Nintendo Video

The catchy song from the 3DS app:

Nintendo Gamer Thoughts Stats

Nintendo Gamer Thoughts view count has been growing at a faster rate recently and I thought some people may be interested in my sites stats. You can see them after the break.

NES Open Tournament Golf Review

This is a short review, not a lot to say about golf. If you ask me personally I think golf is boring. If you ask Mario he'll be to busy to respond since he is driving a go-kart while preparing for the Olympics. NES Open Tournament Golf does what you expect it to do. Be a good golf game on the NES. Though not in the name you play as Mario and compete in golfing tournaments. The game has aged quite nicely. The graphics are colorful and look really good for a game on an 8-bit system. This game also plays surprisingly well. Gameplay feels fluid and putting is performed well with a tap of a button.

 There are various modes that will keep you playing along with prizes/money to earn. Even a game as old as this one still has the Nintendo polish we have all come to expect Altogether this is a good golf game.

My Score: 7/10

I Love the Circle Pad Pro

Recently, as in yesterday, I picked up a copy of Resident Evil Revelations along with the Circle Pad Pro. At first I was not sure if I needed it but after using it I'm in love with it. The Circle Pad Pro offers a level of comfort that could not be achieved if the second circle pad and extra buttons were included with the 3DS in the first place. I'm not sure if this was Nintendo's plan but I like this more then having it including because of its great grip and the shear fact that you can take off the bulky add-on when you are not using it. You can read my thoughts about a 3DS redesign by clicking here but right now I highly recommend you pick up a Circle Pad Pro if you plan on getting any games compatible with it.

50 Possible Name Replacements for Wii U

Burger Time Deluxe Review

Do you like burgers? I like burgers. I once had a friend who was vegan, he did not like burgers. No matter what you like or dislike when it comes to eating you will probably like this game. Burger Time Deluxe is a fun arcade game now on the Game Boy which involves you playing as a chef, making burgers, and destroying giant hot dogs and eggs. The story is this, you play as a Chef Peter Pepper who is trying to avoid enemies being sent by a rival restaurant owner. The gameplay consists of you running over pieces of a hamburger. The goal is to have those pieces drop to the ground and form a hamburger. This means you are going to be running on items like burgers, buns, and cheese. What makes the game challenging is the multiple food based enemies trying to get in your way. Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Egg, and all the other food based enemies don't let up easy. To destroy them you need to have a piece of the burger smash them. More will come through doors though. You can also stun enemies using spice in order to get buy them. You only have a limited amount so use it wisely. All in all Burger Time Deluxe is a fun game that is worth your eShop dollars.

My Score: 7/10
