E3 2021 is over! Was it the best E3 ever? Nope. Was it fun? Yep. But, who won? Did anyone win? Let’s talk about who the “winner” of E3 is! E3 2021 was alright. It wasn’t the best E3 ever. It wasn’t even the best game related event this year (those State of Plays and the Dragon Quest event rocked) but it did offer some surprises and delightful games. Xbox and Nintendo did good. Ubisoft and Square Enix were not…

Okay I was going to wait until tomorrow for the Xbox/Bethesda and Square Enix events to write more columns, but…I really need to talk about the Wholesome Direct. We just have to talk about the best E3 event so far! In case you missed it, you can check it out in the video below. Some of you may have missed the best E3 2021 event so far. It was not Summer Game Fest or Ubisoft Forward…no. It was… THE WHOLESOME…

Nintendo of America announced their E3 plans today! Let’s take a look and talk about it some. Nintendo will have an E3 Direct on June 15th at 11:00am central time. Following that they will have a Nintendo Treehouse Live. The Direct will be about 40 minutes long, focused on games ” mostly releasing in 2021″. and the Treehouse will last for about three hours! Whew. 40 minutes for a Nintendo Direct is pretty long. You have to especially consider how…

We still have a few weeks to go but I figured, hey, why not start my crazy E3 predictions!? Today I’ll throw out some never-will-this-happen Nintendo E3 predictions, next week will be Sony, and right before E3 I’ll talk about Microsoft and third parties. Let’s a goooooo! Nintendo has not officially announced their E3 plans yet (unless they do and I have to rewrite this). So I am going to guess their plans… On the Thursday or Friday before E3…

Miitopia started its life as a 3DS game. We reviewed that and liked it a lot. We also really enjoyed the Nintendo Switch demo! Now the full Miitopia game is out for the Switch and we have received a review copy of that version too. How is it so far? Is it really different from the 3DS one? For those who don’t know what Miitopia is, here is what I said in my review of the 3DS version: “An evil…

Last year there was no E3. It wasn’t a great year for games. This year so far has been better but developers are still struggling a bit. And E3 is returning. I want to talk about E3 and why gamers shouldn’t set their expectations too high. E3 is returning this year. It will be an all virtual event though, so there will be no show floor for press, developers, and celebrities’ to attend. Most of the big publishers will be…

Time to take a trip to an island full of animals on the Nintendo Switch. No, not that game. Castaway Paradise is another simulation game where you move to an island and end up doing favors for animals. Is it worth checking out? Let’s find out in this review of Castaway Paradise for the Nintendo Switch! Castaway Paradise is not Animal Crossing. You do live as a human on an island full of animals and do favors for them but…

This new game will let players build their own games. Check out the trailer below and then come back here for some thoughts on Game Builder Garage for Nintendo Switch. Game Builder Garage isn’t the first game by Nintendo to let players create their own games of course. Warioware DIY,…

A storm hits and your boat is destroyed. You wash up on a shore and finish yourself surrounded by animals. Welcome to Castaway Paradise for the Nintendo Switch! The game is out today. Here are my early impressions of it. Castaway Paradise takes place on an island full of animals. Sound familiar? It might but this game is only slightly like Animal Crossing. It actually shares more in common with Harvest Moon. Just like Harvest Moon: you grow crops, build…
