Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos for the Nintendo Switch is a game that looks like 2D Zelda, plays like it, and adds in some Stardew Valley fun to boot. We previously previewed this game and now we are ready to review it. Is Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos worth checking out? Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is one part Stardew Valley and two parts The Legend of Zelda. There is farming, town building, and dungeon exploring. The game doesn’t really…

Pioneers of Olive Town will not be hitting North American and European markets for a few weeks yet, but thanks to Marvelous Europe, we had the opportunity to take an early look at the English version of the game. The Japanese version has already launched in Asian markets. Pioneers of Olive Town marks the largest departure from the standard series in some time, featuring a lot of the same outstanding farming mechanics, but sprinkling in new mechanics unashamedly borrowed from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is a ...

Bravely Default 2 is the newest turn-based jrpg from Square Enix. Nintendo is publishing this title. And thanks to Nintendo of Canada we received a review copy of Bravely Default 2. Is this a jrpg worth checking out? Here is our review-in-progress to let you what we think so far of this game. Bravely Default 2 is set in a fantasy world where four heroes of light go on a quest to find some crystals. It also takes place in…

Happy March! Its also the first day in Animal Crossing New Horizons that you can order the newly added Mario items. I’ve seen some of the items now, not all, and have some thoughts on them. Today is the first day that you can order the Mario items in Animal Crossing New Horizons. These items were added in the recent update at the end of February, however today was the first day that they could be ordered. To access the…

The first footage of Pokemon Legends Arceus has drawn a number of different reactions. You don’t have to mine too far into the depths of YouTube to find a few dozen manchildren – all eerily identical – staring open-mouthed in reaction video thumbnails. Their opinions are absolutely valid, but, come on guys, admit you’re all Metal Gear Solid style clones. The cat is out the bag. Our own Adam Roffel had some Pokemon thoughts of his own. His misgivings are…

Littlewood is a game that seems to take inspiration from many others but presented in a way I have never seen before. This game technically starts at the end. There was already turmoil in your world. Your character defeated the Dark Wizard. The world of Solemn is finally at peace, but at what cost? You can’t quite remember. You start the game with pretty much a blank canvas, you are greeted by your friend who instantly gets you up and…

Let’s be honest – this week’s State of Play was just okay. The recent general Nintendo Direct wasn’t much better. What happening with these update videos, and why do they keep disappointing? My first instinct was that this was an expectation problem. If you’re hoping to see your first glimpse of God of War: Ragnarok, you’re not going to be overjoyed by the biggest news being a piece of DLC for a year old game. But shouldn’t that be obvious?…

During today’s Pokemon Direct, we got a few more details on New Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo Switch due on April 30th. The original title came out in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and my wife (girlfriend) at the time and I spent countless hours running through Pokemon Island to get the best scores possible and fill up our Pokedex. Because the ’90s was also super gimmicky we even went to Blockbuster Video to print out some stickers of our…

It looks like Game Freak and Nintendo are finally making the dive into a full, open-world Pokemon RPG experience, and while the concept of that sounds amazing to me, the trailer shown off during the Pokemon Presents video today definitely left me wanting more. Is it unfair to make judgements based on an introductory trailer for a game we've never seen before? Absolutely, it is unfair. Am I going to do it anyways? Of course!

Bravely Default 2 is now available for the Nintendo Switch. The title is developed by Square Enix and published by Nintendo. Here is the launch trailer! Bravely Default 2 is now available via retail and the Nintendo Switch eshop. The launch trailer released today shows many new areas and some things we haven’t seen before.
