Nintendo Direct Mini 1.11.18
A Nintendo Direct was rumoured for today but Nintendo never made an official announcement for it. I was starting to have my doubts that we’d see a Direct. As it happens, we did get a Nintendo Direct! You can check it out below along with my initial impressions of it. I’m not going to hide my opinion here: I was disappointed with this Nintendo Direct Mini. Yes, I do think it was partly because the Direct was so hyped and…
Read MoreAssassin’s Creed Rogue is Being Remastered
Assassin's Creed Rogue is being remastered, a surprise announcement from Ubisoft today. Rogue, the spin off successor of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, was a title that didn't get a ton of attention as it was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 AFTER the Xbox One and PS4 had already launched. Many people missed out on this great experience, but will get a second shot when it arrives this march.
Read MoreNew Update Coming to Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey was one of the BEST games of 2017, and received outstanding scores from almost every media outlet on the planet. It wasn't just because 'open world' 3D Mario games had been a thing of the past, but how well Nintendo returned to that gameplay style. The fun hasn't stopped for Super Mario Odyssey, and in today's first Nintendo Direct of 2018, the company announced new updates coming in the near future!
Read MorePorting Games from Wii U to Switch Isn’t Lazy, It’s Smart
With another Nintendo Mini Direct in the books, the gloves are off and writers around the world are going to start dissecting what Nintendo is offering fans. The initial impression for some wasn't great: too many Wii U games and older games on other systems being ported to Switch. Based on the low install base of the Wii U, and that many Nintendo fans ONLY own Nintendo consoles, bringing all of these 'older' titles to the Nintendo Switch is actually a really smart idea, and in no way causes assumptions of laziness on the part of Nintendo, and other developers ...

Read MoreChicken Wiggle for the Nintendo Switch?
Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS is a great game. Check out my review here. I highly recommend the game if you have a 3DS. Of course, if you just have a Nintendo Switch, then you are all out of luck at the moment. Chicken Wiggle is not on the Switch right now. But…it could be on the system eventually… On twitter today, Jools Watsham from Atooi announced that they are “Gauging interest…via a kickstarter campaign” of bringing Chicken Wiggle to…
Read MoreARK Aberration – Why ARK: Survival Evolved Was My Most Played Game on Xbox in 2017
According to my stats from Xbox Canada, I played a lot of games on my Xbox One in 2017, some on the original Xbox One, some on the Xbox One S, and a TON on the Xbox One X! One of those games that got an uptick in play time near the end of the year was ARK: Survival Evolved. This was for two reasons: first, ARK developers released a 4K update for the game which I wanted to see for myself on the Xbox One X; second, the latest expansion for ARK was recently released. Titled Aberration, this new DLC pits you against the radioactive world, deep under ground. Think ...
Read MoreThree Things Assassin’s Creed Origins Doesn’t Need…But Would Be Cool
Assassin's Creed Origins is easily one of the best games released in 2017, and it has even taken my top spot amongst Assassin's Creed titles since the original, topping my previous all-time favorite, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. From start to finish, exploring Ancient Egypt and removing its citizens from the grasp of a tyrannical leader was an amazing experience. With so much to do, there really was never a dull moment. Quests were varied, and the chance at rare and legendary loot made me explore every nook the game had to offer. When we look back at ...

Nintendo’s pink puffball hero Kirby has been in a lot of games for the 3DS. Most Kirby games are platformers, but we did see a free-to-play fighting game called Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for the system too. And this month Kirby will be in another fighting game for the 3DS: Kirby Battle Royale! Nintendo released a demo for the game yesterday and I wanted to share my first impressions of it. Is the Kirby Battle Royale demo any good? I…
