Super Mario Odyssey, as its name suggests, is a Switch game of epic proportions. Who knew an anthropomorphic hat could be so cuddly, cute, and full of wonder? Nintendo. It’s always Nintendo.

When Nintendo released Miitomo, I was elated, but quickly the appeal of the glorified 3D avatar creator and social media app faded, then disappeared completely. Then, Pokemon Go hit the App Store.
As you know, immediately after its release, the world exploded.
Nintendo has officially announced Pokemon Sun and Moon for the 3DS. The seventh generation of the twenty-year-old game series will be out late this year. Sun and Moon will be the biggest entries since the release of Pokemon X and Y in 2013.

There are certain addictions I cannot free myself from: coffee, Red Dwarf, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. You know, the normal everyday addictions. But there’s a new addition to my daily dependencies. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has become something I love to play every single day. The strangest thing about the addiction: I only want to play for (at most) fifteen minute intervals. Is this the very formula for addiction to handheld games? Unfortunately, I really didn’t get a chance to play many Gameboy Advance games as a kid so I can’t really say. I’m certain I will find that out as this GBA Saturday series plows — the strong language here is totally necessary — into the future.
Everyone’s been talking about the spectacular looking Zelda Wii U game. For good reason, too. Because — and I believe I mentioned this earlier — it is spectacular looking.
Also, the game is purportedly open-world. Open what, you might exclaim. Yep, you read correctly. A beautifully-rendered watercolor world that’s completely free to explore in a Zelda title. That’s pretty amazing.
The sneak peek of the new Legend of Zelda game that Nintendo’s Digital Event gave us sparked something unexpected as well. The character featured in the snippet of gameplay looks undeniably feminine. Is it Link? Is Link female? Is Link even a girl’s name? (Admittedly, the last question has only been asked by me.)
I was surprised to find a strong negative reaction to the possibility of a female Link from Legend of Zelda fans. I can understand diehard fans resisting alterations to beloved characters. But c’mooon. There’s at least five reasons a female Link would be awesome. Read on to find out what they are.
