The Nebula of NES Games
All I can say is, this Pop Chart Lab creation is extremely cool: astronomy mixed with NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games goodness. Does this look like a nebula or our very own Milky Way galaxy strewn with Nintendo games?

Did You Know Gaming: Donkey Kong
The DYKG crew have done it again! This time around, Nintendo’s Donkey Kong gets the Did You Know Gaming treatment. I confess, I am a huge fan of their site and love finding out stuff I had forgotten about or did not know at all. Press play and enjoy the history.

On the back of Guizdp’s awesome Duck Hunt + Mega Man 2 amalgamation comes the heavyweight mashup; Super Mario Bros. 3 + Contra! There is something endearing seeing Mario blasting away with a gun.

Nintendo Glory: 2DS
Well, well, well, what do we have here then – a slab of Nintendo with quite the clever moniker, the 2DS! There seems to be a lot of buzz surrounding Nintendo’s imminent handheld system; it’s either love it or hate it.
I must admit, my first impressions were quite negative. However, being aware that Nintendo is a brand I have trusted for over 30 years, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Once released, I’ll have a play in-store and see if it suits me or not. At the end of the day, if I don’t like it, I won’t buy it. For those that already have a 3DS/XL, just turn off the 3D and you have yourself a 2DS (Ed: drawing a long bow there!).
If you are interested to know, the Australian release date will be on the same day as the US, October 12. Be prepared to pay a little more than our US cousins; the suggested retail price will be $149.95.

The Legend of Zelda: Retrospective
By now you are all quite aware of my aversion to adventure and role-playing-games (RPGs). There is one game in this genre that I wish I could “get into”, but I never could – The Legend of Zelda. I own quite a few ‘Zelda’ titles, but playing them is all together another matter. Even though I am not a fan of the game, I do respect the franchise. With that said, this Game Trailers Legend of Zelda: Retrospective video is compelling viewing, even for the non-Zelda fan.
Sit back, relax and press play!
