Mario Party 10 – Wii U
And the party rages on with Mario Party 10 for the Wii U, the 14th installment of the series overall. With a total of 3 different modes to party on with, it’s one of the most appealing entries in the series to date.

Shovel Knight – Wii U
Take the power of an 8th generation console with the sensibility of modern gaming, and stir in healthy doses of some of the most beloved NES games – Castlevania, Castlevania III, Mega Man 3 – 6, and Super Mario Bros. 3 among others and what do you get? The absolutely superb SHOVEL KNIGHT!

Nanashi no Game – Nintendo DS
Nanashi no Game, or, “The Nameless Game”, curses all who play it to die in seven days. Unless you can solve the mystery of why, of course. Good luck!

Super Mario Bros: The Movie: The Game – NES
The game based off the movie based off the game. Super Mario Bros the Movie the Game is a black eye on the Nintendo franchise. Can you find your way through Brooklyn to the other dimension to beat Dennis King Koopa Hopper to rescue Princess Daisy before you commit suicide??

Virtual Boy Wario Land – Virtual Boy
We love the Virtual Boy here at Nerd Bacon. Or at least the mental case ZB does, anyway. See why he’s lost coherence and brain function as you read his review of Virtual Boy Wario Land for…you know what console. And it’s out just in time for the game’s 20th anniversary!

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 – DS
For the Mario anniversary, I’ll be reviewing a basketball game. With my weird review choices, I can’t really say I should be surprised, and neither should you. The fact that Square Enix developed this game does make it a curiosity though…
-
Mario’s Time Machine – SNES
Mario’s Time Machine, another commonly derided title from Mario’s line of educational games, is a surprisingly honest trip through certain pieces of history. It’s still got that “edutainment” flair that keeps it from entering the pantheon of “real” games, though the experience is more enjoyable than you might think!

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages – Game Boy Color
Woah everyone, Doc Croc finally stopped procrastinating long enough to give us a review of the second game in the Oracles series, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages.

Super Mario Kart – SNES
The Mario Kart series is one of video gaming’s most popular franchises, and it all started here, with Super Mario Kart. Critics have heaped on loads of superlatives to this initial installment: best SNES graphics, top console game, one of the greatest of all time. However, I am of a slightly different persuasion…

Dr. Mario Online Rx – Wii (WiiWare)
For Nerd Bacon’s celebration of all-things Mario, our resident Dr. Croc is taking on the viruses in Wiiware title, Dr. Mario Online Rx!

Wario Land 4 – Game Boy Advance
ZB’s at it again! And this time, his boy Wario is loose in a fourth adventure fueled by greed and excess. Let’s all catch a ride to Wario Land 4 for the Game Boy Advance!
-
Mario is Missing! – SNES
Mario is Missing!, one of a handful of educational Mario games released in the early 90’s, features Luigi as the main protagonist for the first time in the series. It may not be much of a “game,” but if you’re in the fourth or fifth grade and need to learn a few things about history and geography, there are certainly worse ways to go about it!
-
Super Princess Peach – DS
Super Princess Peach features our favorite damsel in distress in her first – and so far only – starring role. It may not be the next Luigi’s Mansion or Yoshi’s Island, but Super Princess Peach is endearing and enjoyable in its own way.
-
Yoshi’s Woolly World – Wii U
Nintendo hits another home run with Yoshi’s Woolly World, easily the best Yoshi game so far and other fine reason to own a Wii U! Don’t miss this eclectic blend of innovative level design with classic Yoshi gameplay.
-
Mario’s Tennis – Virtual Boy
Mario’s Tennis is often overlooked and unfairly tossed aside due to the overwhelming and awkward life surrounding Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. Migraines and broken necks aside, if you can suck up the pain for a short while, you’ll be in for a decent treat.
