Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins
Platform: Game Boy
Developer: Who do you think?
Released: 1992 (1993 for Europe)
I’m sure you’re all familiar with the Super Mario Bros/Super Mario World games, which have been remade and re-released so many times that it’s not even funny. However, not every Mario game is lucky enough to be re-released every generation, and Super Mario Land 2 is one such game. Continue Reading…

Platform: Game Boy
Developer: Triffix
Release: 1991
Back in the early ‘90s, you didn’t have to import to get your hands on crazy, wacky games. Picture this scenario: You’re sunning yourself on a planet that is basically like Florida- a tropical paradise where sunshine and surf is Continue Reading…
Welcome to the very first TNB podcast! The crew and I have decided to make this particular podcast an E3 2010 special and then from here onwards we will record a more regular Nintendo podcast on a monthly basis for the site.
In case you don’t already know, I’m Liam (kksl1der) and the other guys with me in this E3 2010 podcast are Ben (BB2K), Michael (punkgorilla) and Oliver (TwistedConspiracy).
There are two ways to listen to this Continue Reading…
Recently, I had the chance to chat with some local gamers and ask them a few questions about what they were expecting from Nintendo’s press conference at this year’s E3.

Too busy with real life.
kksl1der: So do you think Nintendo will pull out their big franchises at this year’s E3? Continue Reading…
What do you get when you mash games, music, TV and writing talents into one? You get pure awesome, and a lady with all that and more is none other than the lovely Maude Garrett. You may know her from her various appearances on Nickelodeon programs such as Sarvo (where she was co-host with Kyle Linahan), and Camp Orange (another successful Nickelodeon kids reality TV show). Along the ride she’s also collected a whole host of awards for her work, with more to surely be coming her way in the future.
Recently TNB had the opportunity to have a chat to Maude, and here’s how it went down!
When Nintendo first announced the New Play Control! (NPC) series many fans were shocked, and at the same time somewhat pleased, to hear that Nintendo would be re-releasing a bunch of GameCube games for the Wii. The selling point of these remakes, or ‘Wii-makes’ as the Australian/New Zealand Official Nintendo Magazine described them, was that they would feature graphical improvements, 16:9 widescreen support and reconfigured Wii Remote controls.
Roughly one year since the announcement of the NPC series, six games, including the two Metroid Prime titles, have washed up on Australian shores, but the question (that technically is two questions) is: was Nintendo’s NPC series actually worthwhile, and did it live up to people’s expectations (assuming that it had expectations to live up to)?
Recently, Matt (PrattP) got in contact with me and told me that it was my turn to go out into the field. So without any questions, (of which there were a few! – Ed.) I put on my adventure cap, got changed out of my three-month old unwashed clothes and stepped out into the bright sunlight.
Soon after my talk with Matt (and questioning myself about where I was going), I found myself inside the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre at Gen Con Oz. I didn’t know entirely what Gen Con Oz was about at that point in time, but I quickly found out that it was all about games. To be more precise, it was all about computer games, console games, board games, card games, role play games and miniature war games. Continue Reading…
As I arrived at the Adelaide Convention Centre on the 25th of July to attend AVCon, (Adelaide’s Anime and Videogames Convention) I felt a bit nervous as I instantly noticed a group of cosplayers, including Cloud Strife and Sora of Kingdom Hearts fame. This got me worried that the whole event was probably not for me, but thankfully I persisted on and had a fun day filled with weird anime, awesome games and all types of weird and wacky cosplayers.
