I’m an 80s kid, so I have all the nostalgia for arcades, NES games, Ghostbusters and the rest. And so any game that wants to focus on that time period and revisit something of that era has my attention. Enter 198X! Its set in the 1980s and tells a story in a very unique way. Here is my review of 198X for the Nintendo Switch. 198X tells the coming-of-age story of “The Kid”. The main character of the game narrates…

I’ve had my eye on The Touryst game ever since it was revealed. I thought the graphics looked neat and the gameplay looked interesting. However I hadn’t had the chance to check it out. Then today, a demo of the game was released for the Nintendo Switch! Here are my impressions of The Touryst demo. Have you ever wanted to go to a tropical island but Nintendo delayed Animal Crossing New Horizons so you had to wait? Then you may…

The game can currently be pre-purchased from the Nintendo Switch eshop. Skellboy is now available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo Switch eshop. The game is on sale for $18.00 (the usual price is $20). I really like the look of Skellboy. It reminds me a lot of games like Paper Mario, with perhaps a dash of…

We have the detailed below. On twitter today, Playtonic announced that there will be a free demo for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. The demo is coming…

Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath is coming out on January 23rd for the Nintendo Switch. The game is currently available for pre-purchase! I remember playing Stranger’s Wrath on the original Xbox! I was a huge fan of the game. It was so very different from the other Oddworld games: you didn’t play as Abe or an Abe-like creature, you didn’t have others following you or couldn’t issue commands. Instead, you played as a gunslinger in an old west like setting. Your character…

Last week, I talked about the games I couldn’t wait to play in 2020. This week, I’m talking about my favorite games of 2019. That seems a bit out of order I know, but there was a game that I was getting for Christmas that I thought might be on this list! So I waited and sure enough, its on this list. Please check out my top 10 games of 2019. 2019 is almost over. After tomorrow, we’re headed into…

What are some of the best selling indie games on the Nintendo Switch eshop? Nintendo has a new video that answers that question! I haven’t played most of the games in Nintendo’s new indie video. There are a couple I have played and really liked though, like Steamworld Quest and Wargroove! I still haven’t played Cuphead. I’m not sure if I’d like it. Yes, the graphics are excellent, but the game looks so very hard. Which of the games in…
