Nintendo Holiday Season of 1990

As this news segment reports:

Kirby's Adventure Review

Kirby's Adventure was the second Kirby game released and the only one on the NES. Released in 1992 it is one of the best looking games on the system. It is the second game in the Kirby series with it following Kirby's Dreamland on the Game Boy.  It is the first game in the Kirby series to feature the pink guys distinct ability to copy his enemies abilities. The story of the game is that Kirby must restore dreams to Dreamland after King Dedede breaks the star rod into seven pieces. The game itself is great. The game play is the smooth like you would expect from current Kirby games. This game has some of the best music in any game, take the theme for example:



If anything makes this game better then his original Game Boy outing is the graphics. Seeing Kirby being pink for the first time was great and the Kirby games since then have always been visually appealing. In total I would recommend this game. It is available for 500 points on the Wii Shop

My Rating 8/10

More Bad News for Nintendo

Things are not going to well for Nintendo right now. Some sources are saying 3DS will lose Nintendo money for each unit sold, Iwata is taking a 50% pay cut, and their profits are the lowest they have been in 26 years. I don't know what to think right now, but my feelings went from being happy about 20 free games, to being worried that my Nintendo may close the gates to the Mushroom Kingdom for good.

Nintendo Ambassador Program

This system's future is starting to look bright!

Nintendo revealed the announcement of a price drop for the 3DS going from $249.99 to $169.99 starting August 12th. Anyone who has connected to the Nintendo eShop by August 11th will be eligible for 10 free NES games and 10 free GBA games. If you do not own a 3DS it is going to be a great time to buy one. You can read more about it in Nintendo's press release here. This is obviously to combat lack luster sales and the PlayStation Vita. I honestly did not see a price drop coming this soon. I also definitely did not see the NES games and GBA games either.
