Happy 35th anniversary, Zelda! And later this year, we can also wish Skyward Sword a happy 10th! Considering this particular title has hit a decade and is the only modern console Zelda title without some kind of improved reissue, it’s no surprise we’re getting an upgraded Switch port this summer. In response to this exciting news, Zelda Dungeon masters Mases Hagopian and Gooey Fame have posted a new edition of their Hyrule Compendium series on the ZD YouTube channel. Though…

There are few joys to be had online that rival the feeling of finding a fun new YouTube channel. An entertaining host and topic can bring together humor and education like a great teacher. With decent equipment and videography skills, they can rival the production values of nonfiction television. And because of the community and intimacy that develops on YouTube, they can forge a stronger bond with their audience. I recently shared that unique excitement with my young daughters as…

Near the end of today’s Nintendo Direct, Eiji Aonuma announced that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming to Nintendo Switch as an HD remaster. Perhaps the biggest news surrounding this HD remaster is the addition of more traditional button-only controls for players who would rather not use the the original game’s motion controls. This will be accomplished by assigning Link’s sword movement to the right analog stick. Did you struggle with Skyward Sword‘s original control scheme? Are you…

About a decade ago, smart phone games rode the same wave of so-called casual gaming that Nintendo reveled in during the DS and Wii era. In the time since, just about anyone with a phone can rattle off the small handful of profitable genres in the iOS App or Google Play stores. Among them, I have been most happy to see a game type that used to only enjoy cult status and basically require a PC: the life sim. As…

After a year-long drought, Nintendo has announced a brand new, full-length Nintendo Direct showcase! With so little information on long-gestating future titles, fans have been thirsty for any drop of new hype. In this relative silence, the fan community of The Legend of Zelda has been anticipating how Nintendo will celebrate the series’ 35th anniversary.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Big props to L-O-V-E! Here in the States, late winter and spring are pretty quiet when it comes to holidays. And bleak. Big parts of the country are still muddling through the cold, so it’s fun to be distracted by the warmth of romance and friendship. Maybe that’s why Valentine’s captures the imagination. By the time my school teachers stopped offering Valentine exchanges, my parents were encouraging me to write my own greetings in things like…

As you collapse on the couch to scroll for your next show, or just another round of Futurama, you most likely fire up Netflix. Maybe Hulu. Maybe Amazon. But dig a little deeper on streaming options and you’ve probably come across apps like Pluto, Tubi, and Crackle. These services vie for attention by remaining ad-driven, but completely free. Although, they tend to have similar libraries with little exclusive or original content. They all have their niche: Pluto emulates the feel…
