Indie developers have bought a lot games to the Wii U (and some to the Wii also). And it looks like that won’t change with Nintendo Switch. Tomorrow Corporation, who has two of the games on Wii U and one on Wii, will be bringing those games to the Switch. We have the details below. World of Goo was a puzzle game for the Wii. It was an absolute standout game for Wiiware. This was at a time when not …

I played Dragon Quest 8 when it was on the Playstation 2. I loved everything about the game, but I never did beat it. And now Dragon Quest 8 is on the 3DS. I bought the game on the portable and have been playing it a lot. What do I think of Dragon Quest 8 on the 3DS so far? If you’ve ever been walking along in an rpg and saw a cool building or awesome lankmark on the world…

The update to Animal Crossing New Leaf has created a lot of interest in the title again. I never stopped playing the game myself, however I have been playing it a lot more since the update. I especially love the new campground that’s been added to the game. I’m a huge fan of the van animals! And so, I have to admit, I’m very jealous of the new crossover dlc that Japan will be getting next month. Next month, a…

I Am Setsuna, an rpg published by Square Enix, will be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch! We have more details below. I wrote about my excitement for I Am Setsuna recently and I’m happy to report that the title was announced as a Nintendo Switch launch title today. It will be available digitally at launch for North America and Europe. Here is how I am Setsuna is described: ““I AM SETSUNA follows the story of Setsuna, a young…

Bringing all of these older Dragon Quest games to the Nintendo 3DS is a brilliant idea, and I'm loving every minute of it. Although Dragon Quest 8 doesn't boast the obvious improvements we saw in Dragon Quest 7

Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World will be coming out on the 3DS in February. However, Nintendo gave us a surprise today! A demo for the 3DS eshop was release today. Here are my thoughts on the demo. Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World looks amazing on the 3DS. From the moment I started playing the demo for the game, my jaw was on the floor. The animation and gameplay looked and played just as good as it did on the Wii…

When the Switch was first revealed, Nintendo acted like the Wii U was here to stay and the Switch would not effect the system at all. But at the end of last year, we saw production of the Wii U end and then Nintendo started to talking about the Wii U less and less. Recently, they have been talking about the system as a failure and selling the Switch version of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild over the…

When Nintendo announced that there would be a Direct this week for Fire Emblem, I tried not to set my hopes too high. It was very likely that only Fire Emblem Warriors and maybe that Fire Emblem mobile game would be shown. This week, we found out the mobile title would indeed be shown. I was still trying my hardest not to get excited about today’s direct, however I was secretly hoping that we’d get a new 3DS game. As…

Last week, we found out that Nintendo would be holding a Fire Emblem Direct. It was thought then that Nintendo would only be showing off the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors for the Switch. Now we know that more than one title will be shown during the Direct. In fact, we know about one other “game” that will be shown during the Direct. Find out about that below. I will also offer some speculation as to what else might be shown.…

This More Thoughts From Me is about Edutainment games. You can and should learn from video games. Its great to have a fun game that has  an entertaining story. We all want that escape from reality. Fun is important. But why can’t you, sometimes at least, have fun and learn something too? Most people seem to think of Edutainment as a genre for kids. Many of these games are, in fact, designed for little kids. Some, such as Brain Age,…
