Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam Review

The Mario and Luigi series contains games which are in the RPG genre of games. The Mario and Luigi games are one of my favorite video game series of all time. The most recent installment of the amazing series is known as Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, which came out in January for North America. It is a crossover of the Mario and Luigi series and another game series know as Paper Mario. Just like my Kirby Planet Robobot Review, this review will NOT contain spoilers. I will only talk about the introduction. Without further ado, let me begin this review.


The game begins in Peach's Castle, where Luigi finds a mysterious book. The book then opens and lets out paper versions of everyone in the mushroom kingdom. Mario and Luigi discover paper toads in the castle, which freak out and run away, and Mario and Luigi have to find all of them. After they find the paper toads, they meet up with Princess Peach and Paper Princess Peach. Eventually, Bowser comes to kidnap peach, but finds Paper Bowser also coming to kidnap Peach. They later team up and Mario and Luigi go on an adventure to rescue both Princess Peaches and find Paper Mario, who joins Mario and Luigi, and the trio go to defeat the Bowsers to rescue both Peaches.

That's all I am going to say about the story. Now onto the gameplay.


The gameplay is like most other Mario and Luigi games. You choose commands to jump, hammer, use items, special attacks, and run away from battles. Outside of battle, you just have to touch an enemy to get in battle with it. You can also hammer, jump, or run into the enemy, causing extra damage at the beginning of the battle. When an enemy attacks, you can jump over/hammer the enemy with good timing to not take damage like in other Mario and Luigi games, (or, you can just counterattack with most enemy attacks) or you can use the block command to reduce damage taken from an enemy like in the Paper Mario games.

Now is the score of the game. While I do like the game a lot, it is my least favorite Mario and Luigi game in the series. It lacked original characters (what I mean is it did not have any characters that are only in the Mario and Luigi games like Fawful of Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Shroobs of Mario and Luigi Partners In Time). It was also complicated controlling 3 characters at once sometimes, which cause me to take a lot of damage with some enemies. The game's soundtrack was great too. Overall, I give Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam a 7.9 out of 10. If you liked this game better or less than I did, that's OK, it is your opinion. I do recommend this to anyone wanting to get a new Mario game though, as Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam was fun most of the time.

Kirby Planet Robobot Review

OK, so the latest Kirby game known as Kirby Planet Robobot came out nearly a month ago from today in North America. I own a copy of the game now and will give my full review on it. This will NOT contain spoilers, I will NOT be that specific with the details of the story. I will be talking about just the beginning of the game and the gameplay.



Here I go.



The game begins with an alien invasion on planet Popstar (which is Kirby's home planet). A huge ship latches  5 parts of it onto planet Popstar. Kirby notices the ship and rushes to it to destroy the 5 parts that latched on to the planet and then will enter the ship and confront the aliens there. (Sorry if i suck at explaining things).



That is all I am going to say about the story. I will now move on to the gamplay.



The game is a platformer and plays similar to Kirby Triple Deluxe (inhaling enemies, copying their abilitys and using their powers, etc). The main difference is when you get into the robobot armor. Kirby hops inside the robobot armor, which is redesigned to look like Kirby. Instead of eating the enemies, the robobot scans them to get their powers. The robobot can scan a wheel enemy and turn into a car, scan a enemy using a jet and turn into a flying jet, etc. The robobot can punch, but it cannot go in the air infinitely like Kirby can (unless a jet ability is copied). That's all I can say about the gameplay. (Again, sorry if I suck at explaining things).



Now is what I think about the game. It is very fun and entertaining and has a good plot, and the controls aren't bad, but on top of that I usually would nearly never stop playing the game. In fact, I beat story mode the first day I got the game!



Now is my rating on the game of a scale to 0 (which is bad), to 10 (which is amazing). I give this game a solid 9.4 out of 10. I found it incredibly cool to play as Kirby in a mech suit, and the story was good, and so was all the other things about the game. I found story mode too short, which take 0.6 points off of the perfect 10 score. It's my favorite Kirby game so far, and I recommend this to anyone including Nintendo fans, Kirby fans, or someone who just started playing the Kirby franchise.

Current Knowledge On The Nintendo NX

   You probably heard of this new console, Nintendo is making. Well, this post is all about, what we know about it, theories I have, we'll known theories, and more.

  Okay, let's talk about the possibility of there being a VR (Virtual Reality) feature.

   Nintendo has mentioned that they were looking into VR technology, but they also said that it is not their top priority at the time being. Though, there are some reasons that might force Nintendo to reconsider, even looking in to this technology.

   Unlike Sony and Microsoft, a large number of Nintendo's consumers, are children. The reason this is such a dilemma, is because some children can experience a headache or Nausea, from a VR headset.

   There's also another reason Nintendo may think twice about having VR, if someone wants to watch their friend(s) or sibling(s) play a video game, they will probably have to go on a multi-player mode, if the game has one.

   A big thing is about a partnership with android. People still think that this will happen, even though a Nintendo spokesperson has denied this. Unless the spokesperson is trying to throw people off on this subject, it seems this won't happen.

   Nintendo has also said that they are aiming for a wider audience and will, a lot like the WiiU, have the feature, to give people the capability to just look at the controller, not just the television.

 This seems like what The NX is going to look like, because this is the most popular design that people have put online.

Thank you!
