Press Release: Nintendo Announces Two Upcoming Tournaments For Nintendo Switch Games
A Post-Modern Review of YIIK for the Nintendo Switch
I was going to do a normal review of YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG. Then, a thought popped into my head: why? Why should a review of YIIK be normal? The game is not normal. Its a weird, weird, weird, very weird game. Its also a very raw game. So it deserves a weird, raw review. A Post-Modern review. Whatever that means. So, as Mario would say, here we goooooo! YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG has bugs. And I don’t mean in…
Read MoreGiving Credit to Bethesda for Fallout 76 Support
The launch of Fallout 76 was a disaster, no matter how you choose to look at it.

Read MoreMario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey Review
In my preview for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser's Jr's Journey I mentioned that I had never played Bowser's Inside Story before.

Every once in a while a game comes along that just feels completely out of place in its environment. As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games.

But you know what, that might just be one of the best things about it. Confused? As you will come to learn, confusion is just ...

Read MoreNo, Playing as Toadette / Peachette is not ‘Cheating’
The Internet can be a cesspool of negativity and hateful rhetoric, and while it's inevitable with politics and religion, it's always disappointing when that creeps into the video game world as well. The latest string of stupidity on the Internet stems from the launch of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, a remake of the Wii U game of the same name, with the inclusion of New Super Luigi U and one other important game play mechanic: the ability to play as Toadette / Peachette.
