You don’t think I could just let Kevin bring back a feature and receive no competition? Absolutely not! My arrogant jerkiness won’t allow it. And so, the Console Classica returns. So what’s the game we’ll be looking at now? How about one of the greatest successes on the N64, and one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises? I’m talking about Super Smash Bros. for the N64.

A Closer Look - Nanostray 2

‘A Closer Look’ is a weekly feature here at nWaffle where I take a closer look (get it?) at a great looking game that isn’t getting the hype it should be. No Smash Bros., no Mario, no Zelda around here… just the little guys that deserve just as much attention, but don’t get it. This week’s game is Nanostray 2 for the DS.

We at nWaffle are proud to introduce our newest feature - The Console Classica. With this weekly feature, we’ll take a look back at some classic titles from an enormous list of games. Going back to as early as the NES, all the way to the final titles to hit the Gamecube, we’re going to look at what these games did so great, or so horribly, and how they shaped our industry. And what better way to start this feature off than with what is arguably one of the greatest games of all time - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

The N 10 - nWaffle’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Wii Games of 2008

2007 was a really strange year. It was an excellent year for gaming overall. There were a lot of shocks, a lot of highs, and a lot of lows too. The Wii had it’s fair share of the latter. But still, we got Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Resident Evil 4, among many more. But with another year over and done with, we can only look forward to the future. Our wallets may be empty from the last couple of months, but like a farmer after the harvest, we are ready to rebuild. The following games on this issue of the N10 are the games coming in 2008 that have turned our heads, widened our eyes, and have slapped a stupid grin on our faces. These are our most anticipated titles for 2008.

The N10 - nWaffle’s Top 10 Most Anticipated DS Games of 2008

It’s that time of the year again… when we all gather around and dance like little school girls in anticipation for all the upcoming releases in the new year! Sure we might not know much of what actually IS being released, but we know a little, and it’s enough to fill in a top ten with our ‘Most Anticipated Games of 2008′! Nintendo’s mighty handheld had a terrific year sales-wise, but super high quality games were few and far between. There were a couple hits, but for a platform in it’s third year, there needed to be more AAA games. 2008 looks to solve the situation as there’s already a number of incredible looking games on the way. Thus, nWaffle presents, the Top 10 Most Anticipated DS Games of 2008!
