A game all about competition with bargain bin online features. Nintendo's summer offering to satisfy the thirst of old-school Nintendo fans is Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, which is essentially a collection of speedrunning challenges. Instead of igniting discussions about who’s the fastest or most clever when it comes to titles like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, it reminds us of how Nintendo frequently drops the ball when it comes to online functionality and how its cheap cash-ins are a major disappointment compared to its more creative and unique projects. One of those projects was the NES Remix series that started on Wii U and also ended up on the 3DS. I'll offer three ways that the NES Remix games are better than the ironically named Nintendo World Championships (NWC).

Three Ways NES Remix is Better Than Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition

Awful lot of games trying to glom off the lighting of a torch in Paris Friday afternoon (or for our American friends, Friday night) Things we missed last week: A couple of Cosmic Fantasy releases, an early drop of Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus (originally scheduled for August), and a release of the original Rogue as ported by... Epyx. Sure. Football Cup was the Archives release.

A breath of wildly fresh air (or echoes). Nintendo surprisingly announced a brand new 2D Zelda game with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, due out in September 2024. While a lot of folks definitely hoped for a Zelda game where you play as Zelda, I don’t think it was on many Bingo cards before the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. But here we are: living in a world where Nintendo revealed the latest entry in their legendary Zelda series just three months before its launch. And it looks great! The map looks like it’s a modified version of Link to the Past, but Link never had the power to create beds and moblins out of thin air before. And his inventory didn’t look like it was straight out of Breath of the Wild. And Link never had this kind of puzzle-solving freedom except for, well, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.
