Yesterday, I talked about Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition’s gameplay. Today, I want to tell you about the game’s graphics. The first thing I noticed about Rayman Legends, of course, was its graphics. This game looks amazing on both the TV and on the Switch’s screen! Rayman Legends looked great on the Wii U but I think the game looks even better on the Nintendo Switch. Without a doubt, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition absolutely pops on the TV in HD and…

I gave Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS a 10 out of 10 in my review. I do not give out 10s lightly. In fact, the only other game I can remember giving a 10 (ever) was Paper Mario: Color Splash. Chicken Wiggle is really that good! And now is the time to buy it if you haven’t. Chicken Wiggle is now on sale via the 3DS eshop! The sale started today (9-14) and will run through September 28. The game’s…

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct was incredible, with 45 minutes of non-stop announcements, reveals, and details on all our favorite announced - and previously unannounced - titles coming to the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Nintendo has to be in line for Publisher of the Year for all that they have accomplished in 2017, leaving the Wii U and the criticisms that surrounded the company during that time way in the past. With strong 3rd party support on the horizon, and tons of great titles left for 2017, it's obvious to me that Nintendo ...

There was a Nintendo Direct today! If you missed it, please check out the video below and then please come back for my impressions on it. I have a split opinion about today’s Nintendo Direct. I thought that the 3DS lineup was ok, meanwhile the Switch’s lineup was awesome. I’ll talk about the 3DS lineup first. The first game to be shown off in today’s Nintendo Direct was the upcoming Pokémon games. As you may know, I’m not a fan…

When Adam Roffel asked if I had any interest in Rayman Legends for Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! I had played the Rayman Legends demo on the Switch and loved it. I had played the demo on Wii U and loved it. But I had never played the full game because some other games were always coming up and distracting me from Rayman Legends. Boy was I missing out! I really loved the Rayman Legends Definitive Edition…

Nintendo announced a new Direct for this Wednesday. We have the details and speculation on what will be shown below. There will be a Nintendo Direct this Wednesday, September 13th, 2017. The Direct will focus on games “headed to Nintendo Switch and 3DS over the next few months”, according to Nintendo. They also said there will be some “new details about Super Mario Odyssey.” The Nintendo Direct will last 45 minutes! What else will be shown during this Direct? We…

They say you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but I can’t help asking the following question. I keep seeing third party games being announced for the Nintendo Switch. I think its a great thing. I love that third party games are coming to the system. I hope we see more. That said, will the third party developers stick with the system? Will they bring more games? Nintendo fans have been down this road before. We have been…

When LEGO Worlds came out earlier this year on the PS4 and Xbox One, we jumped at an opportunity to review the title, and thanks to Warner Bros. in Canada, we had that opportunity. You can read our (mostly positive) thoughts here! When doing that review, the one thing I constantly said to friends, my PR representative, and almost everyone else was: "I cannot wait for this game on Nintendo Switch." That time is here, and I was so right with that initial observation: the portability of LEGO Worlds on Nintendo Switch legitimately put my 50+ lbs of LEGO bricks ...

Move over Shovel Knight! There’s only one true digging game and its based in Steamworld. Ok, so Shovel Knight is cool too. And they have their own amiibo figures. And…whatever. I still think Steamworld Dig is cooler. Rusty would totally beat up Shovel Knight if those two characters were in Smash Bros (please Nintendo?). And so its great that there is a Streamworld Dig 2 with Rusty…wait a second. That isn’t Rusty! What’s going on here?! Lets take a look…

If you've had the pleasure of playing the original Knack title, you'll remember it was a charming, underrated experience that was mired by mediocre scores from media, but generally favorable scores from actual players. Well, it's 2017 and Knack is back for a second adventure. While not a ton has changed between these two titles, a few years has made Knack 2 a far superior product.
