We got some new information about the Nintendo Switch online service during the Nintendo Direct today. Check out the overview trailer below and then some thoughts from me on the service. I liked the Nintendo Switch online service overview for the most. I didn’t like the bit about the smartphone app (who does?!) but the rest looked great.

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #116: Chrono Trigger
The first time I played Chrono Trigger…I didn’t like it. This was back during the SNES days and I didn’t like rpgs back then, with the expectation of Earthbound. It wasn’t until I played Final Fantasy 7 that I got addicted to rpgs and after that, I got a chance to play Chrono Trigger on the Playstation 1 and I loved it. Now Chrono Trigger is one of my all-time favorite games. If you’ve played the game, I hope you…

When compared to any other home party title, Mario Party has some of the best - if not these best - mini games available, and to ...
