Happy Console Gamer on YouTube is a huge fan of the Phantasy Star series. He talks about it a lot. I had never played the series. Until now. Last week I finally bought the first Phantasy Star for the Nintendo Switch! What do I think of the game? I’ve been curious about Phantasy Star ever since I first heard Happy Console Gamer talk about it. The footage he showed of the game looked neat. I had never played the game…

Turmoil, an oil baron simulator, has been out on PC for several years now, but it just made the leap to the Switch.  It’s a fun, if somewhat shallow, game that wouldn’t really make sense on other consoles.  In Turmoil, you compete with three other AI characters to extract oil from various plots of land, earning money to be spent at an auction on shares that will determine the next mayor of the town. The game consists of two phases,…

Bug Fables looks like Paper Mario. That can’t be denied. But is it just a Paper Mario copycat or is there something more to it? Let’s take a look at Bug Fables for Nintendo Switch eshop! Bug Fables caught me by surprise. This game wasn’t even on my radar. It was only a couple of days ago that I sort of heard of it but thought “Bugs? eh.” I had no idea what it was or anything. Then yesterday I…

After launching for the PC all the way back in 2016, oil-tycoon simulator Turmoil is now available for the Nintendo Switch.  The simulation game comes with it’s previously released DLC pack, The Heat Is On, which gives players access to new maps and mechanics.  Turmoil will have you bidding for land, and extracting oil from the earth below.  Success comes in the form of growing your town, outbidding others for more land, bribing authorities, and expanding your empire. On the…

With the upcoming launch of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, we thought we would re-share some of our old Xenoblade Chronicles reviews, starting with Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Nintendo Wii U! If you haven't played this game, and have access to a Wii U, it's a fantastic experience!

I did a preview of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition here. The following is my full review of the game. I will take a look at the main game and its epilogue, as well as Future Connected. Is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition worth checking out?

Earlier this year, our own Kevin Austin reviewed TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2 on the Xbox One. We will be sharing many of his same opinions in this review, with a heavier focus on the Nintendo Switch differences in this title. If you want to read his entire review, feel free to click on the link above! For my own part, I'm not generally big into racing games, especially those that involve a bike. But over my 15 or so hours of play, I found TT Isle of Man a fantastic experience that I'm sure to come back to time and time again.

irst wrapped up my playthrough of Minecraft Dungeons on the default difficulty, I thought it was a fun game, but perhaps a bit shallow.  I came away from it thinking I'd seen all that the game had to offer, and that the Adventure and Apocalypse difficulties would, for the most part, be more of the same.  After all, I'd unlocked a couple of hidden levels, and felt that I'd explored each map from head to toe.  By the time I'd completed the game on Adventure difficulty, I came away with a distinctly different feel. 

I love Animal Crossing New Horizons. I think its the best Animal Crossing game yet. You can check out my review of the game here. And yet…the holidays in this game suck so far. Let’s talk about them and what I hope to see in the future. In Animal Crossing City Folk and New Leaf, Bunny Day was a holiday where you dug up (or in the case of New Leaf: dug up, fished up, shot down, etc) easter eggs…
