We are waiting to hear what Sony and Nintendo will do. Nintendo does do a lot of Nintendo Directs so it should be easy for…

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a delight.  The controls are tight, the environments are beautiful, and there’s no shortage of places to explore. The pre-launch of the game has been a bit rocky, with Microsoft sending details of a day one patch and recommending that the game be played on the Xbox One X or Windows 10, but given that it’s a first-party game, I have little doubt that the small slowdown issues and title screen wait…

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…
