The LEGO formula hasn't changed a lot in recent memory and while in writing that sounds like a bad thing, in reality it's been working just fine for a number of years. Sure, small enhancements have been made in combat - changed in LEGO Ninjago Movie Game and kept for this adventure - but overall, the brick busting, stud collecting, puzzle solving characters are back, with more options than ever before. And the open world feel of The Incredibles gives me the same feelings I had when playing LEGO City Undercover, which is a huge achievements. But does it all ...

Can Mario Die in Mario Tennis Aces?
Abdallah recently took Adventure Mode for a spin, and wanted to figure out if you could 'die' in Mario Tennis Aces.

Read MoreThe Wonderfully Weird World of Hollow Knight for Nintendo Switch
The moment I saw Hollow Knight at E3, I knew I wanted the game. I couldn’t get it then, but finally was able to pick up a copy of it yesterday. Here are my first impressions of Hollow Knight for Nintendo Switch. Hollow Knight is weird. The game starts with you, a bug, entering a creepy and mysterious underground city. There is barely any bugs living in the town. You talk to the one bug thats there and he really…

Sometimes, reviewers have it hard. We have to review some pretty awful games occasionally. We do this so you don’t have to play them. And then there are other times when we play a game that we know is good, but, personally, we don’t really care for it. I think I hit upon one of the latter games lately. I have been playing The Lost Child by NIS America for review. I know the game is good, but its not…

Read MoreYou’re Never Alone In Pode for Nintendo Switch
The puzzle platformer genre never gets old in my opinion. It seems like some developer is always coming up with a unique and interesting new game for the genre. Pode is the newest puzzle platformer for the Nintendo Switch. The game is out today for the eshop. I got a review code of the game and have been playing it. My review isn’t ready yet, but I thought I’d give you a look into the world of Pode. Is this…
Read MoreIs This It for Super Smash Bros
When Nintendo unveiled Super Smash Bros Ultimate at E3 2018, my first reaction was, "Is this it for Smash Bros?" In a game that promises to feature all the fighters from past titles, as well as stages from past titles, should we expect this release to be the swan song for the franchise. While I feel that Super Smash Bros will continue as Nintendo launches more systems, there is plenty of evidence to say that isn't going to happen.
Read MoreMario Tennis Aces Review
Mario Tennis Aces is hitting the Nintendo Switch at the exact right time, about half a year before Nintendo's next major multiplayer title - Super Smash Bros Ultimate - and just a few months before Nintendo's paid online access take affected. And this timing is incredibly important, because despite its shortcomings on single player content, Mario Tennis Aces is setting itself up to be one of Nintendo's better online offerings in recent memory. With the promise of a robust online system, Mario Tennis Aces is about to hit the next level.

Last week during E3, Nintendo and Square Enix released a new demo for Octopath Traveler.
