kksl1der signing off

Category: Site News

Oh dear… I’ve found myself in this exact situation before. It’s not fun, I’ll tell you that much. I’ll try not to go into anything that Matt (PrattP) and Michael (punkgorilla) have already touched on and I’ll do my best to keep things as short and sweet as possible.

I originally discovered The Nintendo Basement through another local Nintendo website known as Aussie-Nintendo. From what I remember, PrattP was plugging TNB on the A-N forums and, not being able to help myself at the time, I came across to the site and sussed things out. Eventually I worked Continue Reading…

Farewell from punkgorilla

Category: Site News

If you’re a follower of TNB’s twitter or visited the forums recently you’ll already know this, but The Nintendo Basement will be closing down. I’d like to take this opportunity to make one final post and say a few important thank you’s.

I first found The Nintendo Basement via Mr_M, who had a blog on here. He was a regular reader of my old gaming blog, Signal Sin, so I thought I’d return the favour and read his. While I was here I thought I’d take a look around. Continue Reading…

Star Fox 64 3D release date announced

Category: 3DS News

Nintendo’s much awaited 3DS remake, Star Fox 64 3D, will be hitting our shores September 15. It will retail for $69.95 in Australia and $99.95 in New Zealand. In related news, I am really glad I don’t live in New Zealand. You have my sympathy, neighbours.

Star Fox 64 3D, as you can probably assume, is the 3DS remake of arguably the best Star Fox game ever, Star Fox 64, originally released in Australia as Lylat Wars on the Nintendo 64. The 3DS version will be receiving a graphical improvement, similar to the recently released 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Category: 3DS News

Square Enix have announced a brand new spin-off of it’s well loved Final Fantasy series, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. No, I’m not sure how to pronounce that either. The name is a portmanteau of ‘theatre’ and ‘rhythm’, so maybe that gives us an idea about how to say it. As you may have guessed from this, the game is touted as a ‘theatre rhythm’ game.

The announcement comes via a one page article in Shonen Jump magazine and as such, details are a little thin on the ground. Continue Reading…
