Press Release: Nintendo Announces Two Upcoming Tournaments For Nintendo Switch Games
A Post-Modern Review of YIIK for the Nintendo Switch
I was going to do a normal review of YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG. Then, a thought popped into my head: why? Why should a review of YIIK be normal? The game is not normal. Its a weird, weird, weird, very weird game. Its also a very raw game. So it deserves a weird, raw review. A Post-Modern review. Whatever that means. So, as Mario would say, here we goooooo! YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG has bugs. And I don’t mean in…
Read MoreGiving Credit to Bethesda for Fallout 76 Support
The launch of Fallout 76 was a disaster, no matter how you choose to look at it. Even those who have spent dozens, if not hundreds, of hours exploring the games vast open world even agree: the launch of this game was as bad as it has ever been for Bethesda. And media outlets around the globe let the company have it when writing their reviews. Here are just a few excerpts:
Read MoreCozyPhones Review
When I was originally pitched the idea to review CozyPhones, I assumed it had something to do with phones, and more likely yet, cell phones. Well, I suppose there was some truth to that thought, but ultimately, what arrived at my door was more of a headphone device than a phone device. Lost yet? So was I, until I unleashed these products on my kids. Then things got interesting.
Read MoreMario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey Review
In my preview for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser's Jr's Journey I mentioned that I had never played Bowser's Inside Story before. So when it came time to do my review, I decided to not compare the game to the original. In fact, I decided to not compare the game to previous Mario & Luigi games at all. Basically I wanted to ask: Is Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey a good game(s)?
Read MoreTravis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Review
Every once in a while a game comes along that just feels completely out of place in its environment. As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games. Travis Strikes Again: NMH, in all of its raunchiness and straight-up adults-only dialogue, on the family-oriented Nintendo Switch? It just didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t. But you know what, that might just be one of the best things about it. Confused? As you will come to learn, confusion is just ...
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #154: Still A Happy Home
I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since the first game on the Gamecube. I even got amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I did eventually get rid of amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I don’t regret getting rid amiibo Festival, but I did regret letting go of Happy Home Designer. And so recently I got the game back as a digital download. I’m so glad I did. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer isn’t like the other Animal Crossing games. Its…

Read MoreNo, Playing as Toadette / Peachette is not ‘Cheating’
The Internet can be a cesspool of negativity and hateful rhetoric, and while it's inevitable with politics and religion, it's always disappointing when that creeps into the video game world as well. The latest string of stupidity on the Internet stems from the launch of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, a remake of the Wii U game of the same name, with the inclusion of New Super Luigi U and one other important game play mechanic: the ability to play as Toadette / Peachette.
