Nintendo Okie

Apologies for the lateness of this week’s update. Two games called Super Mario 3D Land and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword arrived on Friday, and it’s safe to say I’ve been busy with them! Here’s your weekly round-up, and as ever, Rayman 3D is at #1… Not next week though!

Boom Street is the first title of 2012

The race out of the gates at the start of the year is always interesting, and Nintendo are taking the leading position in 2012 with the release of Boom Street. Boom Street, originally debuted as Fortune Street at E3 this year, is a collaboration between the Dragon Quest and Mario series to create a playable version of a popular Japanese game, not too dissimilar to Monopoly. An odd release for sure, but it at least marks a continuation of Nintendo’s support for the Wii into next year.
