The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game doesn't break a ton of new ground for famed developers Travelers Tales, but the game does enough to differentiate itself for the dozens of other LEGO titles currently available across almost every gaming platform imaginable. If you are familiar with LEGO Ninjago, you'll know that in the movie and show, Ninja combat is at the forefront of almost every encounter. It makes sense, then, that Travelers Tales would rework the standard LEGO game combat to better fit the Ninjago franchise. From what I've played, it works really well!

Read MoreSuper Mario Odyssey Is the Mario I’ve Wanted
During the days of the Nintendo Wii, people could not get enough of the original Mario Galaxy, prompting Nintendo to do something they've rarely ever done with 3D Mario titles: release a sequel! Unfortunately for me, neither Mario Galaxy or Mario Galaxy 2 hit that sweet spot for me like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine did. In fact, nothing Nintendo has released for Mario has brought me back mentally to the days of the Gamecube and Nintendo 64. Super Mario Odyssey is about to change that in a big way for me, and I cannot wait!

Read MoreDLC Coming to Fire Emblem Warriors on Nintendo Switch
Nintendo has been going down the DLC road a lot since they launched the excellent track and character packs for Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Wii U, and for the most part, they've been doing a really good job with it, providing large, meaningful content updates for a great price. These DLC packs have extended the life cycle of previous games, and Nintendo is hoping they can once again make Fire Emblem Warriors a game that you will continue to play well after launch.
