In a previous column, I talked about how I believe we are in for a lot of delays this year. But now its time to focus on the positive! What have I been playing this year so far? What do I wish I was playing? And what do I hope comes out in 2020? Let’s get to it! As you all know, thanks to my review-in progress and other articles, I have been playing a ton of Animal Crossing New…

Yesterday, I went and got my pre-ordered copy of Final Fantasy 7 Remake from Gamestop. A day early! I couldn’t believe it. And so I have played Final Fantasy 7 Remake a little bit already and I’m ready to share my first impressions of the game. Does it live up to the hype? Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out today. I was fortunate enough to get my copy yesterday. I’ve played it a bit and I’m ready to give our…

So let’s talk about Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Please see the bottom of this article for your chance to win Final Fantasy 7 Remake! The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is coming out this Friday, April 10th! And I’m pretty excited for it. Maybe…

The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch will be coming out on June 5th, 2020. It will have both a physical and digital release.

The common theme I've been seeing on social media regarding Golf Story seems to follow this trend: Person 1 - Golf Story is soooo good! Person 2 - I don't like golf games. I'm here to tell you to play Golf Story anyways, because it's actually not all about the golf, and even when it is, it's just pure fun.

Yesterday, Square Enix released a demo for Bravely Default 2 on the Nintendo Switch eshop. I’ve played the demo some and here are my first impressions of it! The Bravely Default 2 demo is now available on the Nintendo Switch eshop. It can be found under “recent releases.” I’ve played the demo some and want to provide our readers with my first thoughts on it. So how good is the Bravely Default 2 demo? I think its pretty good.

Operencia: The Stolen Sun is an old school dungeon crawler that evokes real feelings of nostalgia, but might be a bit more difficult to adapt to for those used to the comforts of more modern games.  These challenging retro-style games have seen a bit of a comeback recently, most notably with surprise hit Darkest Dungeon.  Operencia operates in a bit more straightforward way than DD though, with a static cast of characters, and no fatigue or other usage concerns to…

Nintendo surprised everyone by releasing a Nintendo Direct Mini today. You can check it out below and then please come back here for some thoughts on the Direct! I thought the Nintendo Direct mini was pretty good! No major new Nintendo games were revealed but a whole bunch of third party games were. And Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition was shown off more. I like Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii and the remake for the Switch looks excellent. Its great that…

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a role-playing game that heavily incorporates a revamped version of Gwent, the card game featured in the Witcher games. Originally released in 2018 on PC and consoles, Thronebreaker has now made its way to the Nintendo Switch! While it does incorporate the card game, Thronebreaker is much more than that. Featuring a 30+ hour campaign, the game plays very much like a typical isometric RPG. How will these juxtaposed styles mash into a game, and how will they play out on the Switch? Let's take a look and find out!

Square Enix has released a demo of Trials of Mana for the Nintendo Switch (its also on the PS4). I played the demo on the Switch and now I have some thoughts on it! The Trials of Mana demo is packed with content. Players are allowed to pick from several characters to play as, plus they can have two companions. I have tried out two of the characters but haven’t finished their sections yet. Each character starts off in a…
