Nintendo is currently very focused on the Nintendo Switch. They released a ton of games for the system and will be releasing even more this year. And yet, they still have the 3DS too and have said there will be games for it this year. They have already released a new Kirby game in January and will release Detective Pikachu in March. But will there be other games? What will those other games be? I love the Nintendo Switch. I…

More Thoughts From Me #109: What Are the Nintendo 3DS Games of 2018?
Transported to the Wonderful World of Mulaka
When I first saw Mulaka for the Nintendo Switch, I was impressed by its graphics right away. This game, of course, is not the first game for Nintendo Switch to be 3D and Polygonal. Morphite was the first game that I played on the Switch with such graphics. However Mulaka is doing something different from Morphite or any other game I’ve seen with this type of art style. Mulaka is colorful and infused with a very unique and stunning premise.…
Read MoreNew Trailer Drops for Yoku’s Island Express
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!
Read MoreAge of Empires Definitive Edition Impressions
Often times, when you remember a game from your youth, you tend to look at it through rose coloured glasses. In preparation for the review of Age of Empires Definitive Edition, I pulled a very old PC out of the basement, set it up, and ran my own personal copy of Age of Empires: Rise of Rome. And ladies and gentleman, that game is awful, especially when you look at all the great Age of Empires games that have launched since then. When Microsoft announced that we would be getting a new Age of Empires experience, all remastered and brought into the 21st ...
Read MoreDynasty Warriors 9 Review
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!
Read MoreLuigi’s Balloon World Added to Super Mario Odyssey
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…
Read MoreShining Resonance Refrain – Announce Trailer
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…
Read MoreBayonetta Nintendo Switch Review
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…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #108: So Very Addicted to Dragon Quest Builders
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…
Read MoreFe Review
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. ...
