I’m not a Monster Hunter fan. I’ve have tried demos of the other games and didn’t care for them much. But Monster Hunter Stories looked different. The game has cel-shaded graphics and a turn-based rpg battle system. I like both. Would I like Monster Hunter Stories better than the games it was related to? I got a chance to find out with the recently released 3DS eshop demo. Here are my impressions of it. I wasn’t sure what to expect…

There is a little bit more to it, all the time, but I don’t want…

Miitopia is out today for the 3DS family of systems. We will have a preview of the game on Monday. For now, please check out the launch trailer and then my thoughts on Miitopia. I love Tomodachi Life for the 3DS. It is such wacky and strange game. Also, it is an excellent use of Miis. And now Nintendo is releasing another game focused around Miis: Miitopia! Tomodachi Life was a sim through and through. Miitopia has sim elements, but…
