Gaming History You Should Know – The Year of Luigi October 23, 2022

Welcome back to a new Gaming History You Should Know, where we highlight some of the best independently produced game history content from across the web. 2013 was a turning point year for Nintendo. It marked the beginning of the first full year the 3DS and Wii U were on the market together. Pokemania was about to begin its second renaissance with the announcement of the Generation VI games, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and a certain character that was always in his brother’s shadow was about to step out in a big way.

2013 was officially Nintendo’s Year of Luigi. It started with the launch of the incredible Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon for the 3DS, and continued with more games like Dr. Luigi U and New Super Luigi U. I would be there for all of it, and I remember it playing a huge role in cementing my love for Nintendo games. However, the YouTube Channel Jonii did a fantastic chronicle of the whole year and brought up some things that even I missed out on. If you’re a fan of Nintendo history you should give this a watch.

When I first purchased a Nintendo Wii, a friend of mine would not let me leave the store without picking up a copy of the original No More Heroes. Since then, the franchise has soldiered on…but only on Nintendo platforms. Now, No More Heroes 3, which previously was a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is now out on multiple platforms. Let’s take a look at the launch trailer!

An important update has just been released for the iPhone and Apple Watch earlier today. It brings bug fixes and improvements for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max users. The new Apple Watch update also improves syncing issues for apps including Wallet.

The update is quite large on the iPhone weighing in at 1.36GB. The Apple Watch update is much smaller, at 126MB.

There doesn’t seem to be an update for the Apple TV, iPad or Mac at this time. I will do another post if that changes.
