    After 6 years in development, Nintendo has finally released a trailer of the remake of its first installment of the Metroid Prime series which could be a teaser for the widely anticipated Metroid Prime 4.

The Fitness Boxing We've All Been Waiting For (Fist of the North Star Review)

Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star (Review)     Over the weekend Nintendo released its third game of the Fitness Boxing franchise. Fist of the North Star is the Fitness Boxing we’ve been waiting for. This new installment incorporates characters from the 1986 Mark III video game Fist of the North Star.       Nintendo attempted a sequel to Fitness Boxing which seemed more like an overpriced DLC. Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise included two brand new instructors and a new playlist of music. Being a fan of Fitness Boxing since the first game was released in 2018, I was looking for a new version to give me more ways to track my progress.       With all of the old trackers from the original game, Fist of the North Star adds new achievements as well as a way to track your accuracy as a Southpaw and Orthodox fighting style and a new daily challenge each day. Unfortunately you are unable to sync your progress from the older games but wit...

Rihanna Has Joined the Battle!

     If you were one of the millions of fans around the world who witnessed the Super Bowl LVII halftime show then you may have noticed something that many Super Mario Smash Bros fans have been raving about on social media. Rihanna's stage set up appears to have been inspired by one of Nintendo's most popular game series.  Quoted tweets on Twitter include:  "Why Rihanna's stage look like a stage out of Smash bros? 😂" - iKhanOfCons "So has Rihanna joined the Battle? #SuperSmashBros" - @SocialDCon1 "New Smash DLC RiRi"- @TheGamerzNuts However, this isn't the first time a music artist has been inspired by video games. Missy Elliot, Travis Scott and The Red Hot Chili Peppers are just a few of the long list of artist who have incorporated gaming into their music.

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons Being a fan of dungeon crawlers since the classic Gauntlet Legends, you could imagine my excited when I found out that the creators of Minecraft had created a dungeon crawler within the Minecraft universe.   I first started playing Minecraft in 2020 on my MacBook. Only playing in creation mode, I would tunnel through mountains and caverns, creating my own kind of dungeon crawler experience. Fast forward, 3 years later, my dream comes true when I find out that Minecraft Dungeons was created for RPG gamers like me who wanted a Minecraft game with a Diablo feel. Finding loot, killing zombies and customizing my character build, Minecraft Dungeons gives me all the feels of a classic top/bottom dungeon crawlwr. Unlike, Diablo however, this game is for the whole family to enjoy. Minecraft Dungeons is the perfect game for both advanced RPG gamers and first-timers.   Writer KhanOfCons  khanofcons@gmail.com
