I’m a huge fan of the Lego video games. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before. So Lego Worlds for the Nintendo Switch really interested me. I had held off getting it for awhile but when it was on sale recently, I couldn’t resist anymore and snatched it up. Here are my thoughts on the game! Lego Worlds is a building game much like Minecraft or Dragon Quest Builders. However, unlike those games, you will build things with Legos. You are…

Nintendo Labo will soon be available for everyone - April 20th! - and Nintendo continues to release videos to their YouTube channel detailing some of the finer details of Labo. We all know what to expect from the Toy-Con kits, but the garage is where the most creative Nintendo users will spend most of their time. There seems to be a lot of options for the Toy-Con garage, and today, we are looking at how to build a guitar!

LEGO has made a game out of almost everything: Marvel, DC, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. However they have never done a LEGO game based on a Pixar movie…until now! LEGO The Incredibles was announced this week. We have the announcement trailer below, along with my thoughts on the game! LEGO The Incredibles has been announced for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game will be out on June 15, 2018. LEGO The…

Even if you are not a long time fan of the Pokémon franchise, there is one thing you probably do know: Pokémon don’t talk to humans and humans don’t talk to Pokémon. Sure, based on emotions of a Pokémon - or even their actions - a good trainer can determine what a Pokémon is thinking or feeling; but to actually talk to one? That is basically unheard of. So when we learned about the popular Japanese Detective Pikachu and that it was going to be brought over to the West, I was incredibly skeptical. I wasn’t onboard with talking Pikachu. So how did this colour ...

Farming Simulation games have a huge following, mostly from European gamers, and because of the immense success of the Farming Simulator franchise, more and more companies are coming to the table with their own versions. Real Farm from SOEDESCO is a great example of a company looking to take that formula, change it up a bit to make it their own, and release it to the public. But when you are going up against such a beloved franchise, how hard is it to rise to the top? And is your game going to be any good, or just be considered a knock off? We look at this, ...

By now, we all know what to expect from the Toy-Con 1 and Toy-Con 2 packs that will hit retail when Nintendo Labo goes live on April 20, but what we are less familiar with is how the Toy-Con Garage will work. Toy-Con Garage will allow creative users to make their own toys using the features built into the Joy-Con controllers. Check out the trailer below!

Like Mario and Zelda, Kirby is another of the Nintendo franchises that has refused to quit over the past 25 years, and for good reason: despite the 'easy' nature of these games, they continue to appeal to the broader Nintendo fan base, taking the world of platform video games and delivering it to a wider, more accessible audience. Like the Kirby games before it, Star Allies continues the trend of mixing easy gameplay with charming visuals and audio. Does the package work when stuck together? Despite the easy nature of the experience, we think so!
