From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition for Wii: One more time – Second, and possibly last, chance to get this classic on Wii.

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS, part 2: The games – Whew! This took me a while, but it’s finally done. And Examiner makes it look a bit longer than it really is.

I consider myself a Nintendo fan, to be sure. Nonetheless, I don’t let my fondness get in the way of my feelings for what I’ve played here. I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong… at least, for the most part. But when there were problems– and there were– I called them out.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

1UP Salutes the Nintendo DS with a Look Back at Mega Man ZX Advent – Which do you prefer? ZX Advent, or its predecessor?
