Nintendo had an Indie (Nindie) showcase video today! You can check it out below and then please come back here for my thoughts on the showcase. I thought that the Nindies Showcase video was pretty good! Probably the best one in awhile (though its lack of Steamworld Quest was distrubing. Yes, I know it was in the last one but still). The showcase got off to a great start with the reveal that Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch!…

I was going to write about Final Fantasy 3 (DS) for this installment. And then I got World of Final Fantasy Maxima for the Nintendo Switch and I completely stopped playing FF3. I think I’ll get back to it eventually. Maybe. But for now, I decided to write about World of Final Fantasy Maxima instead of FF3. Mainly because I have a lot to say about this game. Wow, do I ever.

Too often are developers pressured into pushing their games out too quickly, leading to outrage from the community and an overall poor experience.

Do you think its too soon to have another video about Indie games for the Switch? If you said no, then you’re in luck!

I am surprised that we are getting another video from Nintendo this soon. We just had a couple. Not that I’m complaining! I…

Dungeons and Aliens is a 2D tower defense game in the style of Plants VS. Zombies. The player’s character(s) is on the left side of the screen, while the…

The world of online gaming is growing by leaps and bounds, and as both new games and old games become available, people are scrambling to get their hands on the latest and greatest, or the oldies they use to love. Whether it is online slots , poker or old DOS games, there is so much to play on the World Wide Web.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom has been available on the Nintendo Switch eshop for a little bit now. I hadn’t had the chance to play the game yet. I had seen previews of it and thought it looked good but other games were distracting me. And then today, a demo was released for Monster Boy. I decided to download it! What do I think of the Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom demo? Check out my impressions below! Right…

Nintendo launched a brand new trailer for the Captain Toad Special Episode DLC which is launching today on the Nintendo eShop for 5.99; the entire bundle - full game plus DLC - can also be purchased for 45.98, via the Nintendo eShop.

So few games now-a-days can be taken out and about, played anywhere and everywhere, with little setup and almost no time commitment. Whether travelling on a train, flying through the skies, or simply sitting down with friends around a coffee shop table, having something you can pull out of a backpack or a purse, and play with friends is an extraordinary.
