Having played bit roles in Nintendo games since the original Super Mario Bros., Toad finally gets an opportunity to shine in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Using the Toad mini games from Super Mario 3D World as a base, Nintendo expands on that experience with dozens of new levels on a disc that’s less than full price. Is Toad’s debut a real step towards stardom?

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Ryu (anon12345678910) vs Rose (jettFTW)
anon12345678910 does a great job of controlling the flow of this fight with his solid ground game. Relying on well-timed fireballs and pokes, he maintains control of the fight while keeping his jumps to a minimum. I’m forced to fight outside of my comfort zone in a fight that admittedly, isn’t going to be all that exciting for many to watch. Still, if you love watching battles where players are trying to control space from a distance, then this is right up your alley.
Peggle 2 Review
The original Peggle caught lightning in a bottle. For a game with such a simple premise, it executed on its Pachinko-like vision perfectly. It immediately became a staple on my iPod Touch and one that I could always come back to. Hoping that PopCap Games would recapture that magic with a sequel is probably a bit unreasonable. However, I was also expecting more out of a game called Peggle 2 than what’s contained here.
Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Decapre (gibbygreatness) vs Decapre (jettFTW)
As Decapre, I thrive off of my opponent’s unfamiliarity against my character. Some fights against great players can be a breeze if they don’t know what’s coming. But what happens when the shoe is on the other foot and I’m squaring off against another quality Decapre player? We go mano-a-mano here in this tricky mirror match!
Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Ken (Daviiid250) vs Decapre (jettFTW)
Any Ken vs. Decapre fight is bound to be a slobberknocker. Both characters are at their best from point-blank range, so it’s all about the person who can maintain control once they’re inside. I slug it out here against the 35th highest ranked Ken in the world on PSN in what proved to be a thrilling fight!
Jett Plays Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Toad finally got his own game and it’s great! I play through a few levels from the first part of the game while talking about some of the latest Nintendo news from the January 2015 Nintendo Direct event.
Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Vega (ULikaDaJuice) vs Decapre (jettFTW)
Often overlooked, Vega has become quite a force in Ultra Street Fighter IV. A number of buffs during balancing have made him a formidable foe, and some top Vega players such as PIE| Zeus have been flexing the character’s muscle even before the latest round of balancing. I feel like Vega is at his most popular right now, as I run into Vega players all the time online. ULikaDaJuice was the 37th highest ranked Vega on PSN at the time, which isn’t something to take for granted. He gives me a run for my money in this battle of clawed and masked fighters!
Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Sagat (buff-sonara) vs Decapre (jettFTW)
Sagat is easily one of Decapre’s worst match-ups. His Tiger Shots can act like a wall keeping the two apart, while his normal attacks can quickly poke her away if she gets too close. This is a classic battle of space control between two characters who excel at opposite ranges.
Ultra Street Fighter IV Omega Mode Guy Combo Video
Guy is a character that I love to use in training mode, though I have no concept of how to use him in a real fight. In Omega Mode, he’s changed quite a bit in ways that give him some more interesting combo options. I put a few out on display here in my latest Omega Mode combo video!
Jett Plays NBA 2K15
Hooping it up as the Toronto Raptors against the Golden State Warriors. Kyle Lowry goes down with an injury, which I truly hope isn’t a sign of things to come for my favourite team.
