Nintendo

On this day in history, August 22nd, 1987, The Legend of Zelda for the NES was released. A game of this magnitude, for it's time, was unheard of and got everyone set to go on an adventure in a game that would be the measuring stick for all action/rpg/adventure games to come.

I'm so sorry to announce that the most iconic video game magazine of all time, Nintendo Power, is planning on closing its doors on its publication in the near future.

I saw this Nintendo bed set and had to share it with you. Two thoughts crossed my mind when I saw it. A.) I want one and B.) There's no way my wife would ever sleep in this so, basically, if I'm getting this, I'm getting this for myself.

Just for fun, over the weekend I hooked up my old NES so I could introduce my 6 year old and 4 year old to the beauty known as Duck Hunt. My little girls aren't really into video games, but I thought Duck Hunt would be simple and fun enough. Going through some boxes, I finally ran across it. Pulling the trigger immediately triggered memories.

Our friends at PETA, who find an excuse to hate and downgrade anything that isn't their own, no matter how ridiculous, is now attacking Mario for wearing his Tanooki suit in the new Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS.

I don't remember any of these games. Then again, I don't remember the 80's, so...
