Is a 1-2 Switch Sequel on the way?
One of the most lackluster games on Nintendo I have ever played was 1-2 Switch. A game that played more like an elaborate tech demo for what the Nintendo Switch was capable of. From milking cows to counting ice cubes, and much more mundane activities. It really did highlight some of the amazing things the Switch could do, just after like 30 min….I and everyone in my house were over it. But are we actually getting another one? According to…

Read MoreNintendo Doesn’t Need to Make Acquisitions, Do They?
There are a lot of folks out there wondering when Nintendo is going to drop the hammer and purchase a studio of their own. I think I might have the inside scoop on this one, so listen up, and listen up good - I don't see Nintendo buying a Studio anytime soon! Shoot, many of the games being produced exclusively for the Nintendo Switch are titles developed by companies NOT owned by Nintendo. Crazy? Yes. True? Also yes

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the latest game in the long running franchise. This one is a bit different though. We are still playing through Arceus so our review isn’t ready yet but lets take a look at what makes this Pokémon game so different in our review-in-progress! Pokémon Legends: Arceus just came out on Friday. I’ve been playing though it and one thing is very clear so far: this game is very different from Brilliant Diamond and Sword! Yes, Arceus…
Read MoreCan You Break the Pokeball Tutorials? – Pokémon Legends: Arceus
There are a ton of trials you will need to complete in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and I began to wonder as I played through the game - is it possible to break the tutorials? In two separate incidents, you will be tasked with catching a few specific Pokémon, and are given Pokeballs to complete the task. So I began to wonder - what happens if I waste the Pokeballs and have nothing left to finish the tutorial?
Read MoreWhat Happens When You 100% a Pokedex Entry? – Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Filling out the Pokedex is one of the main things you will do in any mainline Pokémon game, but things are different this time around, in a way. Your Pokedex is no longer a high tech piece of equipment, but is rather just a notebook and a pencil. And based on when this game is set - centuries before the events of Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Diamond - I suppose this makes sense. This is the first time a complete record of Pokémon has been made!

You control a tiny character that moves between words and then moves words over to affect the direction of an item. In the demo, you…

Triangle Strategy is coming out on March 4th. Check out the newest trailer for the game below! Triangle Strategy looks like a cross between Octopath Traveler and Final Fantasy Tactics. The story and characters remind me a lot of Octopath (with a bit of Tactics), while the battle system is very Final Fantasy Tactics! The newest trailer shows off another character Frederica Aesfrost. And while her story is interesting, its the gameplay near the end of the trailer that interest…
