Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
Just about the perfect little Super Mario Bros. nostalgia device. A fantastic collector's item that's virtually indispensable for any Mario fan. It's no a secret... I’m a big Mario fan. The original Super Mario Bros., in particular, holds a special place in my heart –...
Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda
Just about the perfect little The Legend Of Zelda nostalgia device. A fantastic collector's item that's virtually indispensable for any Zelda fan and thanks to some updates probably even better than Nintendo's first Game & Watch offering. Collectors rejoice!...
Pokémon Shining Pearl
While definitely not revolutionary or perhaps in step with expert players' expectations, Shining Pearl's ridiculously charming aesthetic, modern conveniences and new additions not only alleviate some of the repetitive grinding but package the addictive Pokémon RPG...
New Pokémon Snap
In a world filled with dark, serious and often rather violent games New Pokémon Snap is a cutesy, calming and mostly charming change of pace. Did you own a Nintendo 64? No? Me neither. I suspect many South Africans were in the same boat. And that really sucks, because...

WarioWare: Get It Together!
WarioWare’s sometimes boorish style and frenetic speed may put some off, at least initially. However, a chaotically fun range of microgames, a decent amount of content and the eventually rather addictive pace make it a peculiar multiplayer party you ultimately have a lot of fun at.
Mario Golf: Super Rush
Super Rush swings in the right direction providing a fun overall package. However, some hazards along the way means it doesn't quite land a birdie on the 18th hole. Mario’s adventures into the world of arcade-style sport have been around for a long time. However, some...
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
A simply amazing game fusing some of Mario's best 2D and 3D elements, backdropped by nice visuals, astounding music and just enough tweaks to make this a great single or multiplayer experience. Bowser's Fury also offers returning 3D World players an exciting glimpse...
