Last week, we had a Nintendo Direct. There were a lot of announcements out of that Direct, however my favorites were Animal Crossing Switch and all those Final Fantasy games! I already talked about those though. For this More Thoughts, I want to focus on the other cool announcements from last weeks Direct. There was just so much! Here’s what else I liked. I don’t like Pokemon. I think everybody thats read this column or that follows me on twitter…

When Nintendo isn't developing some kind of Mario title for their flagship consoles, you know there is a problem. Thankfully, no problem currently exists as a slew of Mario related titles either received major updates, given release dates, or were formally announced during the Nintendo Direct. From new content in Mario Tennis Aces, to a release date for Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story, to a formal announcement for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, there was a lot for Mario fans to be excited about, going right into 2019!

Without a doubt, a brand new Animal Crossing being announced for Nintendo Switch was my favorite announcement from last nights Nintendo Direct. Check out the video below with Tom Nook announcing the game and then come back for some more thoughts from me about Animal Crossing Switch! Animal Crossing is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2019!! I knew that, sooner or later, Nintendo would reveal an Animal Crossing game for the Switch but I did not think it would…

The 2D space/air shooter genre has been around since the early days of arcade games. The basics of the genre haven’t changed much, mostly its the graphics that have changed. Fullblast for Nintendo Switch is a new 2D shooting game that takes place on Earth and has you controlling an aircraft thats taking on some aliens. The game doesn’t have much of a story, though 2D shooters rarely do. The important thing here is whether Fullblast is a fun game…

We got some new information about the Nintendo Switch online service during the Nintendo Direct today. Check out the overview trailer below and then some thoughts from me on the service. I liked the Nintendo Switch online service overview for the most. I didn’t like the bit about the smartphone app (who does?!) but the rest looked great. What excited me the most was the tease of third party games NES games coming to Switch online! Double Dragon, Ghost N’Goblins…

Thanks to Square Enix announcing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition HD early, we knew about these games already. However, Square Enix did not stop with those game announcements… A bunch of Final Fantasy games are coming to the Switch! Along with Crystal Chronicles and Pocket Edition HD (OUT TODAY), we will be getting World of Final Fantasy Maxima on November 6th. And Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy! will be coming this year too. Then next…

I will have a More Thoughts From Me next week about it, but I just want to give you some thoughts on a few of my favorite things from the Direct. First of all….ANIMAL CROSSING. NINTENDO SWITCH. 2019.

In Super Dungeon Tactics for the Nintendo Switch, the player takes control of a band of heroes who are trying to protect a small village from the creatures that want to destroy it. The game is a strategy rpg in the vain of Disagea or Final Fantasy Tactics. I received a review code for Super Dungeon Tactics and have been playing it a lot. Its a fun game so far, but be warned: its a tough game too. Super Dungeon…

I have been playing Dragon Quest 8 a bit lately. I’ve also been playing Dragon Quest Builders. Not Dragon Quest 11 though, since I don’t have a Playstation 4 (sigh). And there is one thing thats been bothering me. I just had to talk about this. So the following is an open letter to the Dragon Quest twitter account and to all the new Dragon Quest fans! Dear @DragonQuest, Something has been bothering me lately. No its not my lack…

Super Smash Bros Ultimate comes out in December. Until then, players will have to find other means of multiplayer fun on the Switch. There are plenty of options though and another one was added to the eshop recently: Ultra Space Battle Brawl. How good is this game? Will you want to play this with your friends? I was skeptical about Ultra Space Battle Brawl at first. The game is described as “Street Fighter and Pong on steroids” by the PR…
