One week, two episodes of The Best and Worst of Nintendo! If you missed our first discussion, we looked at my favourite games to play on Nintendo Switch in 2021. We are going full circle today and discussing something else - do I have the right to be skeptical of Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

When Disney and it’s development partners work together to bring a title to Nintendo Switch, you know it’s going to be something special, and generally, it’s happening for a fairly good reason. In 2019, The Walt Disney Company remade two of their iconic, classic animated titles into live action pictures. In 2021, they built on that game collection and added The Jungle Book. Let’s take a look. Before jumping into the Jungle Book, it’s worth noting that due to popular…

Have you wanted to travel to Disney World but the pandemic is limiting your options? Or is the ever increasing ticket prices making the dream vacation a continual dream instead of a reality? Then perhaps you need to grab a 29.99 CAD copy of Minecraft, drop around 13.00 on the Disney World pack, and enjoy the sites of Walt Disney World without the guests! 

I played a ton of Nintendo Switch in 2021 due to me getting my YouTube channel off the ground, but I think some of my favourite games of the year might surprise you. You won't find Metroid Dread on this years list, nor will you find New Pokemon Snap. You will, however, find things like...Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2?! Let's take a look!

Yes, Christmas is over! Wow. That went fast. And one of the things I got for Christmas was Pokémon Sword and its DLC! I haven’t checked the DLC out yet, I’m waiting till I’ve played through the full game, but I have played some Pokémon Sword. What do I think of it so far? Let’s talk about it. I got Pokémon Sword (plus the DLC) for Christmas. As anyone who has read this column or anything else I’ve written knows,…

Before Pokémon Brilliant Diamond came out, I wrote about the best Nintendo Switch games of 2021. I noted at the time that I hadn’t played the game and didn’t know where it fell on the list. Then I reviewed it and now I can say it: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond is one of the best Nintendo Switch games of 2021! Pokémon Brilliant Diamond belongs on my list of Best Switch games of 2021. In fact, one of the games of that…

Triangle Strategy, Square Enix’s upcoming HD-2D strategy rpg, is coming out in March for the Nintendo Switch. Check out the latest trailer for Triangle Strategy and some thoughts from us below! Triangle Strategy will be coming out on March 4, 2022. Square Enix’s latest game continues the HD-2D style that Octopath Traveler introduced. Instead of an old school rpg though, Triangle Strategy is a tactical strategy game in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre.  The newest trailer…

Gamers don’t have to worry about what engine their favourite games run on. Not usually. Not like a few years ago. The engine is like sound or editing – if it’s doing its job, you don’t even really notice it exists. And yet engines are right at the forefront of conversation again thanks to the Matrix interactive trailer released last week. It was mind-bending. I don’t want to take anything away from it, because I still can’t quite get my…

Pokémon used to be pretty simple. Go from place to place, catch wild animals in tiny balls, fight gym leaders, complete the Pokédex and, I presume, get laid. No other reward would be worth it. There was a complexity behind how simple it was. Hardcore fans could compare statistics while the rest of us refused to level up our Pikachu with a thunder stone. There were no massive storylines, no systems on top of systems on top of systems, and…
