Kirby Is Cute And All But...Wat? (Mature Content 17+)

Kirby Is Cute And All But...Wat? (Mature Content 17+)

Very few times have we played a game on our show that we downright refused to ever play again. We have reached that point. I understand that you are probably curious as to why we would ever showcase something that brought zero enjoyment to the table, but we wanted to provide the public with a way out just in case you even thought about purchasing this title.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse seems attractive at a $40 price point alongside its given cuteness and colorfulness, but it is not for the impatient. This game is super frustrating. It seems that one could just create a stream of ribbon and have Kirby follow or even be able to move Kirby separate with the joystick.

That does not happen.

The controls are awkward and irritating. No matter how colorful or how amazing the music was in this game, I could not stomach playing more than an hour of it.

So instead of running out and buying this, take a look at our new series highlighting a bit of this adventure. This will be a short run, because there are better things to do then get mad at a pink ball of happiness. I refuse to hate Kirby, so I'm just going to stay far far away from this one.

The Best $10 We've Ever Spent (Mature Content 17+)

The Best $10 We've Ever Spent (Mature Content 17+)

If there is one thing you have probably noticed about Pop and I, mostly me, is that we are HUGE Nintendo fans. I think Pop is more of a Microsoft guy in general, but this past year, Nintendo has been the company to offer the type of games we enjoy playing on a regular basis.

Recently, there was a Nintendo Direct, which finally announced the release of the NEW 3DS XL for the United States. Alongside that excitement, not to mention the mic drop from Nintendo surprising us with the Majora's Mask NEW 3DS XL, the release of popular Wii titles for Wii U owners to download was announced. Amongst these is one of my favorites, Super Mario Galaxy 2, which for a limited time was only $10.

You can't really pass that up.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a gorgeous game that offers the nostalgia of Super Mario 64 with a "out of this world" (see what I did there?) feel. 

Even though it isn't fresh off the boat, it is still a super fun game to play through. Especially when you are two adults who discuss adult things whilst collecting colorful star bits and adventuring atop adorable Yoshi. 

So sit back, relax, and watch us take on the world of Super Mario Galaxy 2! Don't forget to check us out through our social media pages. If you have any suggestions, let us know!

Best Puzzle Game this Holiday Season

Best Puzzle Game this Holiday Season

By now, you are probably deducing that Pop and I are a fan of Nintendo with all the Wii U games we have posted about; however, Nintendo has had a lot to offer this year and we have to highlight that! This week we delighted ourselves in the Super Mario 3D World spin-off game: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

A puzzle game at heart, this cute game offers up a quick yet somewhat perplexing adventure. It basically follows the same level structure as the Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World, but isn't nearly as simple. On top of that, each level has a side quest which until you finish the level once, you have no idea what it is. Completionists will find themselves running through the levels a couple times to get everything.

I personally love games like this, and if it weren't for every other game that has released this season, plus a somewhat steep price point of $40, I might pick it up. If it goes on sale for $30 (highly doubtable anytime soon) then I may have to get it.

Watch Pop and I as we go through this fun game together and connect with us via Facebook! If you have any requests feel free to inbox us on our Facebook page or tweet us! Pop just started the Nuzlocke challenge with Pokemon Alpha Ruby. Are there any games you want me (Mom) to play? I enjoy RPG's, specifically JRPGS, so give me a shout!

The Best Smash Bros. Game Yet

The Best Smash Bros. Game Yet

While everyone else who is a fellow geek in our city was enjoying the Grand Rapids Comic Con, Pop and I (Mom) were tucked away at home hacking away our lungs. As much as we would have liked to join in on the fun, our toddler was also very sick, and so we decided to be boring. However, in the midst of this disappointment, we got to enjoy our newest purchases.

This is just from the 11/21 release. We also have a plethora of new games from 11/18

Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U is everything we could have asked for...and more. The GameCube controller functionality was a must, and we are so glad they decided to take this route because it makes fighting fluid and natural. The levels are amazing, the graphics gorgeous...just go freaking buy it already. AND if you don't have a Wii U...now is the time...seriously.

 I have never really been that talented in the arena of Smash Bros. games; however, I do find so much joy in playing it. We have yet to do anything with the Amiibos other than register them to our names (Pop's is Link and mine is Yoshi), but we are excited to level them up. For now check us out doing a bit of classic mode and don't forget to check us out on our other pages!

It Happened: Mario Kart Just Got Cooler

It Happened: Mario Kart Just Got Cooler

Downloadable content is pretty much a given with nearly every game that releases, so it comes to no one's surprise that Mario Kart 8 has sported its own season pass. The nice thing about this season pass is that it is only $12 and it comes with a decent amount of content. Releasing in two packs, people who purchase the season pass will get a total of:

• 16 tracks
• 8 Cars
• 6 characters

Pop and I obviously got the season pass and the first pack does not disappoint because it includes our most favorite character, Link. In line with the Zelda theme, there is a Hyrule Cup Grand Prix, which has a pretty epic track. 

Check out the first two races in the Hyrule Cup as we play through the first pack of the DLC and make sure to stay tuned for the rest! Look below to connect with us via social media and as always, feel free to suggest some titles folks!

Another Reason to Buy a Wii U

Another Reason to Buy a Wii U

I gotta be honest with ya folks...If you aren't a proud owner of a Wii U yet, today may be the day that you are pushed over that edge. Why, you ask? One name:

BAYONETTA 2

This game is a sequel to the fan hit that released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but is ONLY available on the Nintendo Wii U console. With the purchase of Bayonetta 2, you are getting a spectacular deal, as it includes the original as well.

As a female, and one who is all about empowering women, you would think this type of game may push me away, but let me tell you a few reasons why I'm in love with this woman (real name Cereza) protagonist.

• She draws power from her hair...HER HAIR!
• She has guns installed into her heels (while duel-wielding in her hands) and can still strut her stuff.
• She's intelligent.
• She's hot!

I'm not one for objectifying women, but it isn't as if Bayonetta is being portrayed as an un-intelligent character whose sole purpose is sex. She shows that sexiness can exist alongside being a general bad-ass. It is one of the many reasons I love the new Tomb Raider as well.

Besides having a great character, this game looks amazing!

Catch up on our play-through of Bayonetta 2. Although Pop is the one playing, I am right alongside him scraping my jaw off the floor.
