My Top Five Legend of Zelda Dungeons
November 2011 was a monumental moment for Nintendo as they released The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the franchise’s 25-year anniversary. The Legend of Zelda is one of the most popular gaming franchises in the world, and it is one of Nintendo’s hallmarks; every game in the series has achieved commercial and critical success, and Skyward Sword was special because it was touted to be a major departure from every game that came before it with the introduction of motion controls for Link’s sword movements. For the occasion, YouTuber Austin Hargrave (AKA Peanut Butter Gamer), started a series of videos where he talked about various things in the Zelda franchise for the entirety of November, dubbing the series "Zelda Month." He has since continued the tradition, and several other YouTubers, among people across the internet, have taken up the initiative of making Zelda-themed videos every November.

Intro to Video Games
Hobbies cone in various ways. Some you are good at, some you are not but you strive to enjoy it anyway. It maybe an expensive hobby like building and fixing laptops to participating in stage productions where you are in a musical. No matter what, you have things that make you happy and you enjoy this hobby. For me, that's video games.

Why Charmander Is the Best Starter
Professor Oak is like the local drug dealer of Pallet Town (a little harsh I know). He wait til everyone is just of age and then boom he gives them a little taste of Pokémon and they are hooked. But, what is even worse than this is that he will always give some other chump (who will wind up being your rival) a specific Pokémon that has a better chance of beating your Pokémon, on purpose! Of course he does not tell you this, you just later find out when your rival throws it into your face. However, this does not take away from the fact that you must make a crucial decision on which Pokémon to take, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander. Don’t worry, I will make it extremely easy for you.

'Dr. Chaos' on the NES
Dr. Chaos is one serious game, and you’ll either love it, or hate it… or maybe both. Released in 1988 in North America by FCI Inc., and officially titled Dr. Chaos: Hell’s Gate in Japan, you take control of some guy, the younger brother of Dr. Chaos… I guess. I mean, your older brother is some kind of mad scientist, and to further his experiments, he locked himself away in a mansion in the woods.

Did 'Pokemon Go' Leak a Gen 8 Pokemon?
As we all very vividly remember, Pokemon Go blew the online gaming and phone gaming world away in July 2016. Although the hype of the real world Pokemon experience has died down dramatically since the game dropped two years ago, it still has a great number of players who've either played since the beginning or have started between then and now. Either way you twist it, Pokemon Go has had two very strong years of gameplay/downloads in both the Google Play App store and Apple App Store. And we can't disagree with those numbers when you think about their new releases such as the "Celebi and Mew Research Quests," the recent update that gave its users the ability to trade and add each other, and their monthly Community Day events. Their last community day fell this Saturday, September 22nd. The next Community Day will fall on October 21, 2018.

Nintendo Wii U Games That I'd Like to See Receive a Switch Port
A few weeks after the announcement of Nintendo's most successful video game console to date, the Switch, its predecessor, the Wii U, had officially been discontinued just a few months short of its fifth anniversary. Like the GameCube last decade, the Wii U was a console that had an impressive lineup of exclusives, but was short-lived due to, among other reasons, a lack of sufficient third-party support.

Most Popular Games for Switch Players
Nintendo consoles always seem to be in a league of their own. With proprietary series like Donkey Kong and Super Smash Bros, Nintendo has been the reigning champion of party games. On the flip side, Nintendo's exclusive nature has kept away some of the most popular multi-platform titles from other consoles. The Nintendo Switch, however, has helped usher in a new era of cross-platform titles, giving Switch owners access to some of the most popular games in the world. From these cross-platform titles to Nintendo exclusives, here are some of the most popular games for Switch players right now.
