Nintendo 64
A Bit Special
Long before Pokemon Go, N64 fans were using the Voice Recognition System to chat with Pikachu and enjoy a days fishing for Magikarp or planting in the garden. A great idea cleverly executed. Known as Pikachu Genki Dechuu in Japan.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Sorely missed from the Nintendo brand with Rare having attained near Big N standards in its games and especially with the tweaks of the sequel. The gaming is pure, the worlds are well realised (with plenty of play testing) and the multilayer mini games add a generous extra helping to the cauldron.
Famicom Cart
Action
Best described as an underwater Pac Man in which players avoid the hazards to collect as much of the stolen treasure as possible by spinning around. Oh and the player is a fish. Well suited to the hardware with just the right ambition shown to add to the lashings of gameplay.
GameBoy Original
Puzzle
Clear the blocks from the screen by shooting them to extend their length and turn them into big squares. They then disappear in time for another wave descending down the screen.
GameBoy Advance
Platform
A conversion of Super Mario Bros. 3 and classic platforming gameplay it is as players get misty eyed dispatch a turtle shell into a Koopa or two. Looking tip top and Bristol fashion on the GBA, it’s a pleasure to go back and savour some good, clean gameplay exploring pipes and the vast potential of completing collecting all coins.
GameBoy Color
Sports
Cute and cuddly Nintendo themed tennis title with Mother style cute sprite graphics and a devious undercurrent of tough, uncompromising AI that’ll only allow those with a full array of shots and the intelligence to use them to reach the pinnacle of the sport. Happy days with Princess Peach looking good in her tennis pinks and 64GB Pack compatibility allowing custom players to be transferred with a special bonus making this a must for any Nintendo collector.
GameBoy Original
Platform
Never has a game character been more suited to rolling around on screen more than Kirby – Hal Laboratory’s rotund, pink creation. Cute, cuddly and colourful with the tight play mechanics Nintendo always delivers.
GameBoy Color
A Bit Special
Tour the Pokemon card clubs to challenge the members and hopefully get a shot at beating the leader. Quick thinking is required to try and gain all eight master cards and become the mythical Pokemon card master. Its possible for players to create their own custom deck with the real fun being trying to complete the full album. Nice overhead persepective to the exploration with cute sprites suiting the GameBoy Color’s screen drawing players in once again to that Pokemon world. Also known as Pokemon Card Trading Game.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Developed by Camelot with plenty of hidden secrets like the mystery match up that lets you unlock the hidden characters – if you beat them. Gives the sport a more exciting translation to the console as it doesn’t try to be too realistic and can be easily picked up and played. And the ghost course is a real treat.
Nintendo Hardware
Adaptor
Nice curio of an AC adaptor for those with a step down who just want to plug in and play their GameBoy Pocket, Light or Color, albeit with a step down transformer in the UK.
Nintendo Hardware
Cable
Four player adaptor for the vintage GameBoy handheld allowing multiplayer mayhem in suitably retro tinged venues throughout the retro world. Forget Wi Fi: this is the way to attain retro kudos on your commute.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Snazzy little set designed to free the dirt from cart pins and also to slot into the back of the GameBoy to ensure nothing gets between the handheld and a good, retro blast. Comes in a cardboard box set the same size as a GameBoy cart box.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
A nice curio for fans of the GBA coming with charger, spare battery and case.
Super Famicom
Simulation
A nice Mario collectable with picture related puzzles and animated pictures all created with the ease of a Nintendo user friendly interface. The naughty Wario pops up adding a bit of mischief to the arty mix.
Nintendo Hardware
Controller
A fine example of ergonomics against perhaps style in this Nintendo 64 controller.
Nintendo 64
One on One Beat Em Up
Plenty of all-star combatants from the Nintendo range, taking each other on in innovative arenas with plenty of little touches, such as dust clouds on impact, that relay that Nintendo magic. Yet beneath the pretty candy coloured characters lies a pretty brutal fight engine.
Nintendo 64
Platform
Miyamoto san’s masterpiece was well worth the wait creating the dream world where anything seems possible he often refers to in interviews. Genki loves to challenge that penguin to one more bob sled ride down the mountain and to splash around in the gloriously realised sea. Will bring a smile to the face of the most grizzled of gaming veterans. With added rumble feature to enhance the overall experience, if that is possible.
Gamecube
Action
Well-planned levels and deep space atmospherics that would make even Sigourney Weaver jump. Its easy to understate just what a fine job has been made of transferring one of the most cherished SFC platformers into full 3D and maintaining the series high standards. Cavernous levels lit up by incredible strafe effects and incredible attention to detail.
Wii
Shooter
Exquisite lighting effects, a rising soundtrack, a dank, moody atmosphere that feels straight from the creative genius of Ridley Scott, fluid, intuitive controls and gameplay worthy of the weighty license which respects the heritage whilst pushing the boundaries of the modern FPS.
Famicom Disk System
Sports
Genki must confess we don’t come across too many sets for the FDS – this one fits two games in Volleyball and Pro Wrestle onto one disk. Nintendo have done a sterling job to ensure the two games well represent the sport with graphics that are the right size to keep it playable, but also sufficient attention to detail.
Virtual Boy
Sports
Accomplished take on the sport with players choosing their peg before casting off. A nice feeling of satisfaction at bagging a beauty and true fishermen and ladies will relish the challenge of the fight. Well presented and nicely animated. Whilst not up there with Virtual Bowling and Gundam, its slowly becoming a bit of a dark horse in VB collecting.
Famicom Cart
Platform
The pinnacle of platform entertainment with a sublime blend of power ups and powerful adversaries. Yet the real dazzling gem in this treasure chest is the sheer limitless imagination that Miyamoto san and his crew have poured in, the child-like wonderment that can be copied, but never surpassed.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Fans of the Commodore 64 cracker Kickstart will be right at home here as the fumes mass on this speedway simulator. A real chest of gold in Nintendo’s back catalogue that was updated to the N64. Fun from start to finish with big jumps and brave bends for those who refuse to relinquish grip on the throttle.
Super Famicom
Platform
Miyamoto san’s finest moment? Certainly packed full of the creative genius of a man who can recall the innocence and fun of childhood. Vast diversity from the spooky Ghost House levels and their translucent ghouls to bouncing off fugu fish over sea levels to skimming under a platform ledge with cape fully extended to swoop in on that hidden coin. Perfectly suited to the 2D medium and so much to explore to obtain a perfect score. Set a bench mark never realised again and that was on the machine’s release. The finest 2D Mario title amongst some pretty strong competition.
Famicom Cart
Action
Competitive platform action to help rescue the damsel, or egg, in distress. Wholesome, heathy gameplay by the lashing.
Nintendo DS
Platform
The best-selling DS game and its easy to see why with Mario in his element in the platform levels and it perfectly suited to the DS handheld. Hats off to you Mario.
Famicom Cart
Simulation
Early Famicom release with bold primary colours and cutesy penguins to ornate the table. The bonus section is a homage to Mario as he runs from side to side bouncing the ball back up to try and break down the princess platform and free her.
Super Famicom
Sports
FX chip utilised to full potential to generate a cutesy feel to the 3D race action. But as with every Nintendo title its the play mechanics that make this a real pleasure to play. That and the characterisation of the four different vehicles. Oh and the hidden secrets.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Connects to the back of the 64 controller to allow gamers to download data from Game Boy games into the Nintendo 64, often unlocking bonus stages. A nice collectable in the Nintendo World which never forgets its roots in thinking about compatibility, or perhaps the bottom line when it comes to Pokemon..?
Super Famicom
A Bit Special
A Super Famicom classic, no mistake. Amazingly recreates the feel of flying through the sky be it on the rocket belt or gyrocopter flying through hoops or chasing the thermals to stay up in the air. Tough, but any mistakes are always your own fault. Some great bonus levels too. Packed full of ideas – a breath of fresh air to the games industry.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Link dons on his drivers gloves and takes control of a steam train to travel through the exquisite lands full of colour and the Eastern European graphics that work so well on the format. Plenty of battles await, as do Densha De Go style passenger drops where the track signals must be rigorously observed. A few monsters still lurk in dank dungeons and conquering them adds new abilities to Links growing repertoire. Known as Spirit Tracks in the West.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
One for the real Famicom Tinkerman or for the curio collector.
Merchandise
Figure
Sculped by Enoki Tomohide and produced by Kaiyodo, this Kyogre figure was only available to those that preordered the Pokemon Alpha Sapphire 3DS game.
Super Famicom
RPG
A lesser known masterpiece from the Big N that sadly never made it to the West. Based on a mythical treasure chest known as Marvellous, the player takes on the challenge of locating it with a team of young lads. Each has their own merit such as being nippy and able to squeeze through gaps, or being strong and able to lift large boulders or tall and able to reach high spots. Unfortunately a band of rogue pirates are also in pursuit of the treasure too. Brilliantly carried out with that Nintendo child like charming view of the world. Before long you’ll be drawn in and think nothing of chatting to chimps in underground caves…
Gamecube
Quiz
A quiz game including Bingo and Roulette that is great for gamers looking to boost their Japanese ability and kanji count, alongside a good bit of general knowledge. With questions as varied as from Cambodian temples to chemicals of the brain, the mic fitted with button adds to the authenticity. I will have a B please Bob.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Nintendo goes for an early Disney look approach to realising Mickey and Minnie in this good, clean platform adventure. Clever touches and plenty of colour to put a spring back in your gaming step.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Nintendo’s Famicom success was backed up by many superb Nintendo produced titles, besides the likes of Mario and Zelda. This formula one racer ticks all the boxes and has incredible attention to detail and presentation, as you would expect from a triple A title.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Roll of stickers to sample the delights of the GameBoy Pocket printer. Happy days.
Animal Crossing Figures
Accessory
Get unusual items and, better still for the Nintendo fan of a certain vintage, receive retro Nintendo titles to enjoy in game simply by scanning these cards on your e Card Reader when playing the e Card version of Animal Crossing on the GameCube.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
Tactical selection of weaponry and an immense two player experience made for some very popular GBA updates, but all the series appeal can be found in this humble GameBoy title. Plenty of hidden Nintendo magic behind the smoothly presented, user friendly take on the war sim.
Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
Multitude of mini games bring the Nintendo magic back to jaded gamers with fresh and pure pick up and play gameplay. Ideal for the busy gamer lacking time for Konami and Squaresoft style cinematic epics. Makes great use of the stylus controller.
Nintendo Hardware
Cable
Allows link up between the different versions of the GameBoy through bypassing the different port.
Super Famicom
Platform
Rare developed Donkey Kong with revolutionary, rendered, solid visuals squeezing high level performance out of the SFC and sleek play mechanics. Team work is again essential to succeed with each monkey having their own special ability: Dixie can hover in the air thanks to her rotating pony tail, Diddy can roll through enemies to get out of a tight fix. Plenty of ropes, switches and barrels make the player develop primordial levels of inquisitiveness with the backgrounds toying with anything that looks remotely interactive. And there are many bonus levels to complement the forced scrolling mine cart rides and toboggan runs to give good variety. There is also imaginative diversity in the end of level bosses making this a fine Caribbean feeling platformer.

Famicom Cart
Sports
Genki doesn’t do tattoos, but if we did our first would no doubt be in the shape of the Famicom style of Mario, here seen in unusually relaxed position of umpires chair. Simple is the best: the full court is visible in screen and good use of shadowing and ball sizing creates a clever perspective with very playable gameplay.
GameBoy Original
Sports
Early GB golf title with that unique Nintendo magic in terms of both characterisation, presentation and gameplay. American and Japanese courses.
Super Famicom
Sports
A clever cross between a golf and bowling game where Kirby bashes into adversaries eventually the defeated boss turning into a hole. The control is very simple yet in true Nintendo tradition, the gameplay excels. Superb stuff.
GameBoy Advance
Platform
Famicom Mini Series capture the imaginative packaging and the unforgiving, old school gameplay of the source material from the Nintendo Famicom Disk Drive – never released outside Japan. The Series was commissioned to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Famicom or NES. Old school barrel jumping action reminiscent of the playground smash Game & Watch title.
Wii
Platform
Extraordinary Wii platformer with Wario being the perfect host. As ever he seems to have been used as a character where the Big N can experiment a bit more on the gameplay and the Shake of the title is used to wiggle Wario into action: be it shaking out coins or performing some on screen gynastics to get through a tight spot. Beautiful settings and backgrounds, but with such a high level of interaction its hard to know what cant be grabbed hold of on screen. Some superb side levels, particularly in the submarine. Say no more other than platforming at its finest, whatever the dimension.
Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
A Japanese to English dictionary, great for those studying Japanese.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Two delightful disks with one hundred and five tracks to stir memories of Hyrule and uplifting moments in the Zelda games and want you to jump bare back onto a horse and ride off on a mission. A Cub Nintendo release making it a little exclusive which is a shame as many would lap up this aural experience of the highest order.
Merchandise

One of the more unusual items that were available from Club Nintendo Japan for those who accumulated enough points. The parts of the puzzle revolve and the aim is to line up the different coloured gems in this tribute to an invention originally made by Gunpei Yokoi san before he turned his expert hand to video games.
Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
Subtitled ‘How old is your brain?’, this whipped up a real storm in Japan. Simple tests utilising science that are fun to take part in, just not as much fun to get the results in Genki’s case.
Nintendo DS
Action
Club Nintendo exclusive but the ghost memberships were well worth the effort when playing this wee belter. Strangely expansive for a give away title (well for those with the required points) with atmospheric rain lashing down on the Goemon style towns through which our samurai be suited players stroll. Plenty of opportunities to test martial arts ability soon prevail with the mic being used to issue commands to your player such as kick or punch. Players can also transform into a lycra suited sentai with the feel of plenty of cheese and ham as in Ouendan as the over the top transformations take place. Multiplayer only for two or three players and players must work in true Wa harmony to beat the bad boss.
Gamecube
Action
A wonderful version of the cherished series seeing players take a hands on approach as a foot soldier behind enemy lines. There are some fun vehicles littered around that make for great fun when commandeered such as the motorbike or plane.

Super Famicom
Platform
The pinnacle of the series on the system as HAL proves itself a crack unit within the Nintendo umbrella. Some seriously motivated programming that manipulates immense performance out of the hardware. The gameplay is a delight with Kirby able to hover above the ground to gain that extra height with which to pummel the bosses be it giant whales or a Robocop ED209 look a like. Known as Kirby Super Star in the West.
Gamecube
Sports
One of the best branches in Nintendo’s laurel rests on the GameCube and adds co-operative two player gameplay with one to drive and one to take care of the items, cranking up the entertainment. The classic ingredients are all still present with battle mode one of them, but the weapons can now be stolen adding to the dream finishes of knocking out an opponent to whiz past them at the finish line. The added tactical dimension is how long to hold on to weapons when they can be pinched away.
Super Famicom
RPG
A dream collaboration between Square and Nintendo gives Mario the fondest of farewells in this last SFC release from the plump Italian plumber. Brings next generation levels of graphical prowess to the humble 16Bit console but as ever with the big N the focus is intently on deliriously fluid gameplay. And as you might expect from the Kyoto company, the game eases you in gently with controls fit for those unfamiliar with Square’s RPG-ing world. Draws on the massive potential of the Mario universe with the emphasis firmly on fun and the balance favoured on action.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
A very useful cable, that may not boast stereo sound, but can be used with the New Style Famicom, Super Famicom, N64 and GameCube as Nintendo helpfully points out on the box reverse.
Wii
Platform
A most timely return to form from the dungareed dude – plump plumber platform gaming hasnt been this much fun since Mario 64. Oozing absolute triple A Nintendo class from the very outset, Galaxy bedazzles like a shooting star with graphical wonders and a real orchestral score. The freedom from the laws of physics has really seen Miyamoto san et al let loose and every star required is a pleasurable adventure along with a lesson in games design. The controller fits snugly, even the simultaneous 2P mode is a barrel of laughs. First class honours.

A smart, compact case that can hold up to four DS cards and two GBA carts making it great for those who appreciate a retro game or two as well.

Paint package for the Nintendo which utilises the mouse very well and has slick presentation as you’d expect for a Nintendo title. As a Mario game very collectable too. Not only drawing facilities but you can produce animations and music too with colour in pictures of Mario for the less budding artists. Also includes an insect swatting game to improve mouse skills.
Famicom Cart

Fine Famicom family fun as players ruin a good walk by following the ball around the course. Nice animations of the player and the split screen map works well to set the standard for many golf games to follow.
Famicom Cart

Players chip away at the blocks of ice forming the platforms to make their way up the screen to get to the top before savouring the bonus level. A tactical ice mallet puts paid to anyone trying to stop you enjoy the view. Classic gaming from the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Famicom Cart
One on One Beat Em Up
Pre-dating Street Fighter, this title puts player as a street brawler up against not only an opponent, but also falling objects from the inhabitants of the building above where the scrap ensues. This can also be a bucket of glitter should your opponent be defeated. Timing is everything. Vintage, Nintendo gameplay, a veritable claret of classic gaming.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Cute and cuddly Nintendo themed tennis title with a devious undercurrent of tough, uncompromising AI that’ll only allow those with a full array of shots and the intelligence to use them to reach the pinnacle of the sport. A smash in four player – especially the Bowser stage that comes complete with Mario Kart power ups that’d surely bring a smile to even the most conservative Wimbledon spectator.
Famicom Cart
Sports
Happy memories of plugging the cart into the back of the C64 come flooding back. (You couldn’t beat a game that was guaranteed to work on the Commodore 64.) Plenty of spit and polish being a Nintendo title with nice attention to detail such as the cheerleaders. Misty eyed Famicom nostalgia.

Best described as an underwater Pac Man in which players avoid the hazards to collect as much of the stolen treasure as possible by spinning around. Oh and the player is a fish. Well suited to the small screen.

Shoot Em Up
Vertically scrolling shooter but requires you to keep an eye on the ground with a bomb option too. Classic Famicom shooting action.
Super Famicom
RPG
A game comparable to a Hiroshige picture and not just in the way the characters are written on scrolls. Some of the finest game music which hasn’t aged in the way true classic shouldn’t. Text fills in the story with this being from the era of the Famicom Disk System but the graphical representation is still stylish and on a par with the fine tunes. Draws on Japanese mythology to create a game worthy of being one of the classics.

Twenty tracks weighing in at over an hour in this tribute to the 3DS version of Fire Emblem. Beautiful presentation of the CD with picture disk and fold out inlay and some divine inspiration into the tracks on offer. Being a Club Nintendo item it was only on offer in Japan to holders of enough points.
Nintendo DS
Platform
Sequel to the seminal Super Famicom platformer with child like cartoony crayon squiggles and cheery colours making for a bright and breezy platformer. The key as before is to not lose Yoshis passenger for too long so the punishment of instant death is lessened encouraging exploration for the hidden coins and areas. The attributes of Yoshis passenger also come into play with Peach able to slow down falls Mary Poppins style with her brolly and Mario can rebound eggs off walls for tactical shots at seemingly unreachable targets. The double screen DS is put to good use – sometimes only the bottom screen can be used to see the enemy masked up top as in the clever clash with the ghost in the mirror.
Famicom Disk System

Cracking Nintendo take on table tennis with only animated hands and bats representing the player making for a fast flowing game. The crown lap up the action with plenty of applause on the corresponding side to the players and a certain cheeky monkey appearing in the crowd.

Japanese NTSC Wii console which allows adventurous gamers to open up the non – Western released world of Wii. Regional protection means owning the Japanese version is the only way to be able to savour the full release schedule. Nintendo’s new dawn appears very bright at present thanks to the innovative control method feeling like a spring breeze to jaded gamers after a bleak winter of too many derivitive releases. By taking a chance the usually conservative Kyoto company may prove the saviour of video gaming. Wii shall see…

Update of the GBA original which became a big hit. The use of the stylus adds an extra dimension to the refreshing concept. Combines the refreshing delights of the Made in Wario series with funky, fly beats therefore taking the gameplay on to a higher plane by combining demands on visual and aural reflexes. With such delightful gameplay its hard to put down but unless you got rhythm you wont see the credits roll.

Also known as Wii Play, the bundle features nine various games to ground you in the skills required to play the console to its full potential. Nintendo takes you by the hand through a Duck Shoot style blast, a round of ping pong, a rack of pool – mimicking the cue action, a race with a herd of cows, a spot of fishing and a game of air hockey amongst others. All good, clean fun and an excellent starter title.

A race through the skies over jungles, blue sea and volcanoes with the faves of the Nintendo world in this bright and bold racing title. Items are available to power up and hinder opponents and it wouldnft be a Kong game without a few lovely bananas to give a turbo boost. Four player match ups look a real Mario Kart style treat.
Nintendo DS
Action
Action RPG which allows players to customise their robots parts and battle them against fellow challengers. With around fifty robots and one hundred and fifty parts there’s a lot here to keep the master mechanics medalling. But the crux of the action is in the battles with well-designed arenas allowing for the mother of all robot wars. A tactical element emerges with the right weapon required to counter your opponents strategy: be it snipering from afar or charging in on you double quick. And its worrying easy to get attached to the robot relishing the after battle reward of a stylus rub down. Known in Japan as Gekitou Custom Robo.

Big 4×4 mother of all trucks going head to head with plenty of hot airs with the fun and frolics of the Wii controller adding much excitement. Being Nintendo developed there’s no need to read the manual Ethe simple controls and well-structured tutorials will soon have players putting their suspensions to the test. Not simply at out and out race either: drivers must balance a podium spot with keeping the fans entertained through stunts, big, comfortably-landed airs, barging opponent vehicles and spectacular crashes to gain sufficient bonus stars. And the well-thought out courses are a real hoot to race on, especially on a turbo.
Wii
Sports
Grounds Wii fans in the basics of boxing, tennis, golf, baseball and ten pin bowling at the same time boosting dab handedness with the Wii controller. Bowling will have you cruising along the living room carpet, eyes focused hawk-like to the screen. Boxing satisfies the animalistic instinct with the chance to slug away at your opponent with a tactical guard element to ensure this game goes the full rounds. Tennis thankfully leaves the running to the AI as you build up a rally against your opponent. Golf and baseball have you swinging for the ball, all straight forward but enjoyment is massively enhanced by the Wii controls.
