  • Donkey Kong Country 2 (3DS): Just made it to Gloomy Gulch. I’m trying to get all of the bonus coins and DK coins during my first play through of each level. It’s difficult, but I think I can do it ;) I forgot how much more difficult this sequel is to the original DK country. It’s a great challenge!
  • Earthbound (3DS): When I first played Earthbound on the Wii U virtual console I was so surprised at how quickly I fell in love. If only I would have played it sooner! It’s one of my top 5 games of all time now and I am having so much fun playing it on my 3DS. If you STILL haven’t played Earthbound you’re missing out and I HIGHLY recommend looking into it!

  • Super Mario Run (mobile): So far this has proven to be an entertaining app for my phone. Road Rush has been my favorite mode to play so far.
  • Pokémon GO (mobile): I’ve been doing a lot of traveling this week, so I’ve been playing Pokémon Go whenever I’ve had the chance. Still trying to catch a holiday Pikachu though.
  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS): Now that snow has fallen in my town, I’ve made myself a snowm’am and have been collecting snowflakes so I can get ice furniture. I have also been breeding orange tulips, in the hopes I’ll be able to create a giant P-Wing flower arrangement in my town.

  • Pokémon Moon (3DS): I feel like I’m the only one out of the Pure Nintendo crew that’s been a slacker trying to finish my adventure on Alola…or it may just because I’m getting sidetracked within the world and having too much of a blast to become the world’s most mediocre Pokémon master.

James

  • JamesPokémon Moon (3DS): Why? Because it’s the best Pokémon game in a long time.

Trevor

  • TrevorPokémon Sun (3DS): Why? Because I want to be different from James and the rest of the crew that’s playing Moon.

  • Pokémon Sun (3DS): Sun for the win! I’m capturing what Pokémon I can while waiting for the Pokémon bank.

  • Fire Emblem: Fates (3DS): Wow Conquest is so much more difficult, with a lot more strategy required than Birthright. And I’m only up to Chapter 8! I really need to level up some more…
  • Pokémon GO (mobile): Level 23 is taking forever! I caught a few interesting monsters this week though, including Porygon and Pikachu – with a Santa hat! Ahh so cute! Oh and I finally evolved Squirtle, so I have Wartortle now :)
  • Geki Yaba Runner Deluxe (3DS): Just started playing this runner for a review, so far I’m having fun with it, so stay tuned!
