Masterpiece of the Year?

Greetings to all my Nintendo nerds! I can't believe it's November already. Maybe I should dust off my 3DS and check in on my Animal Crossing town sometime, grab some mushroom furniture. But who has time when we have been blessed with some amazing new games in 2017? As the year comes to a close, …

Hands On with the Nintendo Switch!

Woo what a weekend! Everyone has been talking about the Nintendo Switch ever since the presentation last Thursday, which introduced the system and showcased the new Joy Cons - the convertible controllers that come with the Nintendo Switch system. But I felt lucky because I had a ticket for the Nintendo Switch Preview Event in NYC! …

Welcome to the Miiverse!

It's been almost two weeks since the Wii U was launched in North America.  I've been completely blown away by how amazing this new system is - and I don't even have an HD TV yet!  (I hope to rectify that issue this Christmas lol!)  There are so many little features that make the Wii …

3DS Game Overload!

As my local area continues to recover from the devastation brought on by Superstorm Sandy (many homes are only now FINALLY getting power turned on... 2 weeks after the storm!) I've been using videogames as an 'escape' from the harsh reality all around me.  Luckily for me, several new awesome 3DS games were released recently.  …

Prelude to the Goddesses Concert

Yesterday I attended the Legend of Zelda: Prelude to the Goddesses Concert at the Nintendo World Store! Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Wait, what? Didn't Glux already attend the Symphony of the Goddesses concert earlier this summer? Doesn't the word prelude mean something that precedes, or comes before something else?" Well, you …

Going for the GOLD!

Yesterday was an awesome day!  Not only was it a BIG release date for Nintendo gamers, but I also hosted my first StreetPass Long Island meet up! First thing in the morning, JDubz and I went to GameStop to pick up our pre-ordered 3DS XL consoles and NSMB2 games.  I opted to wait and trade …

I Like My Fun in Size XL!

When my boyfriend JDubz got a DSi XL for his birthday earlier this year, I had to really stifle my jealousy.  When the XL first came out, I wasn't that interested...  so what if it's a bigger size?  But seeing it in person and holding it my hands made me change my opinion.  The larger …

E3DS Disappointment

I know this is a few days after the fact, but honestly I was just so pissed off that I couldn't even bring myself to write a blog until now. As I'm sure you all know, last week was the E3 Expo, where Nintendo had a few presentations to show us sneak peeks at new …
