If you haven't heard about Yuko's Island Express, now would be a good time to start paying attention. Although this title is slated to launch on almost all platforms, I think the Nintendo Switch version is likely to be the one people are going to purchase. A new trailer just dropped for the game, and we have it for you here! Check it out!

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has a huge following, and although I haven't bee playing the series for long - was drawn in during the Zelda remix days when Hyrule Warriors was released - I've come to enjoy the one-vs-hundreds model that the game seems to make work so well. In previous iterations of the franchise, players would prep for their battles and then jump in for an overview menu, dealing with each fight one at a time. In Dynasty Warriors 9, however, things get spun around, and you instead explore a vast open world. Does it work? Let's take a look!

We know when we will be getting Detective Pikachu but we can all admit that the games has been cloaked in a cloud of mystery. Yesterday that changed, with yet another trailer detailing some of the things coming in this 3DS release.

During the last Nintendo Direct, a free update to Super Mario Odyssey was mentioned. Last night, Nintendo released the update! Luigi’s Balloon World was added to the game. There were some other things added too. For more details on this addition to the game, please read on below. Nintendo of America (and Canada!) announced last night that Luigi’s Balloon World has been added to Super Mario Odyssey. This new mini-game has players collecting balloons for a high score. You can…

Sega announced yesterday that Shining Resonance Refrain will be coming west! We have the announcement trailer below, plus some thoughts from me about the game. Shining Resonance Refrain will be coming to the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Sega is bringing the game west this summer. The trailer above just shows a lot of cutscenes and not much gameplay. I wish we had seen what the battles would be like in the game and gotten a sense…

When I first saw Old Man’s Journey for the Nintendo Switch, I assumed it was an Adventure game. And while Old Man’s Journey does have a little bit of Adventure, it is most definitly a puzzle game at heart. It is also unlike anything else currently on the Nintendo Switch. Is that a good thing? Will you want to check out Old Man’s Journey? I love Old Man’s Journey’s story. There is no dialogue whatsoever in this game. I’m a…

Please check out my review-in-progress part 1 and part 2 of Bayonetta. Also you can check out Adam Roffel’s review of Bayonetta 2. What do I think of Bayonetta 1 though? What’s the final vedicit? Is the first Bayonetta a good game? The story in Bayonetta is very hooky. Basically the game has a B-movie style plot. The dialogue is what you’d expect from such a movie too: corny with a lot of cursing. And to make matters worse, there…

I wish I wasn’t writing this column right now. I’m much rather be playing Dragon Quest Builders for the Nintendo Switch. However, I promised you all a column this week about Dragon Quest Builders, so here I am. Lets get this over so I can go back to the game ok? Dragon Quest Builders for the Nintendo Switch is so very addictive. I wasn’t sure at first. Don’t get me wrong: I loved the demo. Then I played the full…

Although it does not happen often - although to be honest, it's become more common each year - every time a moody, charming indie game hits the marketplace on Xbox One, the store on PlayStation, or the Nintendo eShop, the collective video game world tends to lose their mind in excitement and praise. For a reference point, I look back on Unravel and Ori and the Blind Forest, two games that tugged on the emotions of players as they were carried through and exceptional experience. Enter Fe, an other game in this growing 'genre' that does the exact same thing. ...

On Wednesday, we talked about the first Bayonetta’s visuals. Today the game comes out for the Nintendo Switch! And this is really just the perfect moment to talk about Bayonetta’s gameplay. The graphics on a game can be great, but if the gameplay sucks, well, than the game will be forgotten faster then this review-in-progress! So how does Bayonetta play on the Nintendo Switch? When you use the analog stick and button controls on Bayonetta, this game plays really well.…
