Nintendo dropped some AMAZING news today! On September 29th, 2017, the company will be releasing Super Nintendo Entertainment System "Classic Edition". The first Nintendo system I played was the OG Gameboy and the moment I saw "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", I knew I had to have this! There will be a whopping 21 games pre-installed on the console: Contra III: The Alien Wars  Donkey Kong Country  EarthBound Final Fantasy III F-Zero  Kirby Super Star  Kirby's Dream Course  The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Mega Man X  Secret of Mana  Star Fox  Star Fox 2 Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting  Super Castlevania IV  Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Super Mario Kart  Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars  Super Mario World  Super Metroid  Super Punch Out!!

This Fall, Xbox will be revamping their Avatars, allowing gamers to have a more vibrant personality online. From the video above it seems that the avatars will be more inclusive for people from all walks of life! Are you excited?

The actor known most popularly for his role in the television adaptation of DC's Batman in the 1960s, Adam West, has passed away today at the age of 88. He had lost his fight with Leukemia. He shall be missed dearly. For we shall now miss the man who brought us the campy, yet entertaining show that was sadly short lived, as well as his awesome hilarity that he brought to Seth MacFarlane's hit tv show, Family Guy, as Mayor Adam West. There will be many voids left behind, by this amazing voice actor, but he shall never be forgotten within our hearts.

If you haven't heard yet, Gearbox's overlooked, hyper-stylized MOBA, Battleborn, has gone free to play, it's currently released on Steam and Xbox One worldwide, it's also on PS4 in North America and will be global come June 13th. Gearbox, the developers of the insane RPG, Borderlands, is known to be "unconventional" as is Battleborn. So of course you should always expect nothing less from them even when it comes to how they handle the transition as well. Battleborn has launched into a "free trial without an end date" which is truly interesting. Now this can be perplexing for some as if you didn't read that and go into the Xbox/PlayStation/Steam stores, the game is still shown for the full price of $29.99, ignore that, highlight free trial, download, wait for download to complete, and you're good to go. Now for those players (such as myself) who purchased the game before this shift are probably a bit bummed or even feel like the

TinyBuild and DoubleDutch Games have released their hit competitive runner game, SpeedRunners to the Xbox One. If you're looking for a game that's easy to learn (as there's literally just the use of all 4 of the buttons,a nd the RT for Turbo) but difficult to master, then pick up this game. If you're looking for something that's family-friendly (unless wagers are made and families are broken, like Mario Kart can do on a crazy Friday Night) then definitely give this game a shot, you won't be disappointed. SpeedRunners does come in 2 variations, there's the Basic edition, which you can snag for FREE, yes FREE as it's apart of the Games with Gold initiative from Microsoft. Then we have the Deluxe edition which comes with all the Add-ons such as extra characters and unique trail skins. If you choose to buy the add-ons seperately, it'll run you about $12, whereas the Deluxe edition will run you about $16. So it's really up to you, how you want t

As many of you had seen in the news before about Xbox's Phil Spencer, wanting to have a "Netflix for Games". It would seem that is what spawned the creation of Xbox Game Pass, a subscription based program in which for the price of $10 ($9.99 if you want to be "technical") you have access to a rotating roster of games, which currently has started at 100. There was a beta given to those who joined the Insider Program but it was vastly limited to what was projected to be released once the program went live. Well, as of yesterday, May 24, 2017, Xbox Game Pass is live for Gold Membership owners. The "Full Live" version is set to release on June 1st. So if you're curious to see what's in the library of games for Xbox Game Pass, they're offering a 14-day trial to download and play whatever games are within the library, as well as benefit from the discounted purchases on both games and add-ons. So Xbox players, rejoice, and go check it out
