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.

Read MoreNew Pokemon Snap Review
Personally, as a gamer, I’ve had a semi love/hate relationship with Pokémon over the years. I was an early adopter to the series having Pokémon Blue when it came out and did really enjoy the game.

Read MoreWelcome to Paradise: A Look At Castaway Paradise for Nintendo Switch
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.

Miitopia started life as a Mii-focused rpg on the 3DS. And now is coming to the Nintendo Switch! Today, Nintendo announced and released a demo for the Switch version.
