REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 8, 2017 – Imagine standing on the big stage, controller in hand. Everyone in the audience is cheering your name, and even more are watching live at home. After advancing through the tournament, you are about to start the finals. If you win this round, you will be named the Nintendo World Championships 2017 tournament winner. Your heart is beating. The competition begins…

In part 1 of our Review-in-progress, we looked at the crazy rpg battles of Miitopia, in part 2 we visited some Inns, and in part 3 we took a trip with some Miis. Welcome to part 4, the final part (dun, dun, DUH). This time we'll check out the goofy sights and wonderful sounds of Miitopia. Will you want to plug your eyeballs into this weird game? Will the wonderful sounds charm you? Here we gooooo....

Once upon a time, there was a game called Miitopia. In this game, there were turn-based rpg battles and strange trips to Inns. But how do you get from point A (battles) to point B (inns)? How do you move around in Miitopia? And is it interesting? Let’s find out the answers to these questions! There is no open world in Miitopia. Instead, the map in this game is kind of like the one you find in modern Fire Emblem…

Yesterday, we took at look at the rpg gameplay of Miitopia. And now today, in part 2 of our review-in-progress, we’ll take a look at one of the things that makes Miitopia a sim. Here’s where things feel a little bit similar to Tomodachi Life and a little bit different too. Let’s visit the Inn! Don’t worry too much if you start running low on health in the dungeons and levels of Miitopia. At the end of every level there…

Here is it folks! The beginning of the end…I mean…the beginning of our Miitopia (3DS)Review-in-progress! Today we will take a look at Miitopia’s battle system. It’s definitely “unique”. Spoiler Warning in case you don’t want to know anything about the battle system or the interconnected job system. Miitopia has a turn based battle system. On the surface it seems a lot like what you’d find in other jrpgs on the 3DS. The top screen in where the action takes place…

Miitopia came out on Friday last week. I bought the game on Friday and have played it a lot since then. Today, I want to provide you with some impressions of Miitopia. What do I think of the game so far? A villian is going around stealing faces from Miis and its your job to get those faces back. Thats the basic plotline of Miitopia. There is a little bit more to it, all the time, but I don’t want…

Nintendo UK released a new trailer for Miitopia for 3DS. The trailer shows how you can move all your Tomodachi Life Miis over to Miitopia. I loved Tomodachi Life. I still play it once and awhile. So I was definitely interested in Miitopia from the start. And then I played the demo, my interest level went up even more! The new trailer from Nintendo UK is really good. I love how they use Mii News to introduce the connection between…

Nintendo released a list today of upcoming 2017 and early 2018 titles! We have the press release and my thoughts on it below. Have a 3DS and/or you planning to get the New 2DS XL? Are you wondering what’s coming out for it this year and early next year? Then you should check out the newest Nintendo press release below: ” REDMOND, Wash., June 22, 2017 – With the E3 video game conference in the rear-view mirror, Nintendo is now…

E3 2017 is over. And now its time for my final thoughts on it. How did I like this year’s E3 overall? Metroid 4. Mario + Rabbids. Metroid: Samus Returns. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga remake. Yoshi! Mario Odyssey overload (in a good way). Wall-to-wall games from Microsoft. Spider-man PS4. These are only a few of the big games from E3 2017. This year was especially big for Microsoft and Nintendo, but Sony had some good titles too. Unfortunately, Sony…

Treehouse Live showed off Miitopia for 3DS today. We have video of that and my impressions of it! Please check out both. If you like Tomodachi Life for the 3DS, then you may very well like Miitopia. Where as Tomodachi Life was a straight simulation game, Miitopia is more of an role playing game. There is a specific quest in this game, an rpg battle system, and all the usual trappings of role playing games. There is still some simulation…
