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?

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.

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!

If theres one thing you must remember about Nintendo is that they love to surprise their fans! Animal Crossing fans got a new reveal today: the returning Animal Crossing Sanrio amiibo cards, releasing for the first time in the West, will unlock new items and more in New Horizons. Check out the video below for more information and then come back here for some thoughts on this update! Wow! The Sanrio amiibo cards unlocking new items is cool but unlocking…

Do you like 2D Zelda? Do you like Stardew Valley? If you said yes to both, then you might be interested in Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos for the Nintendo Switch. Our review for this title is not ready yet but we thought we’d share some first impressions of the game so far! Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is an action/adventure in the vain of the Legend of Zelda. The game features a Hero with a sword and shield who…
