Do you remember Shadow of the Colossus? Its the game where you have to climb giants and defeat them! What if you took that idea and turned it into a 2D action shooter? You might have Mechstermination Force for the Nintendo Switch! But would you have a good game? Mechstermination Force is an 2D action shooter that has you facing off against giant robots/creatures. Each “level” is a giant boss fight and thats it. This boss fights are beyond epic…

I like Mega Man but I’m not a die hard fan of the franchise. If there wasn’t another Mega Man game made tomorrow, I’d be ok. I thought it was cool that Capcom did another Mega Man game, though I felt no need to rush out and buy it. So when Metagal, an obvious Mega Man clone, was offered to me as a review game, I was interested but not too excited. And now that I’ve played the game, what…

Playstation will their own “Direct”, State of Play, later today. The video will include announcements for the PS4 and PSVR. What do you hope Sony announces? State of Play will air at 4:00pm central/5:00pm Eastern. We do not know what Sony will announce, other than it will be PS4 and PSVR titles. Its possible we could see anything from dates for games we already know about (Dreams, Last of Us 2), new games, indies, and sales. What do you think…

As we work towards the launch of Yoshi’s Crafted World, we continue our preview coverage by looking at something that has often plagued Yoshi titles in the past, whether fairly or unfairly. For the longest time, Yoshi titles have been pegged as ‘cutesy kids games’ by many in the gaming industry, and while that is often not true at all, it is still the label the game gets painted with. And sure, if I look back over the levels I’m…

I am a huge Castlevania fan. I love the NES ones, the SNES games, Symphony of the Night, and all the GBA and DS ones. And so when Konami announced last night that there would be an Anniversary Collection of Castlevania games released this year, well, I went nuts. There will also be an arcade collection and a Contra collection! Konami has announced that they will be releasing Arcade games, Castlevania, and Contra collections this year. They will be available…

Nintendo had an Indie (Nindie) showcase video today! You can check it out below and then please come back here for my thoughts on the showcase. I thought that the Nindies Showcase video was pretty good! Probably the best one in awhile (though its lack of Steamworld Quest was distrubing. Yes, I know it was in the last one but still). The showcase got off to a great start with the reveal that Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch!…

Do you think its too soon to have another video about Indie games for the Switch? If you said no, then you’re in luck! Nintendo of America announced a Nindie (Indie) Showcase video for this Wednesday. 30 mintues of Nindies?! Wow. Thats a lot of games! I wonder what new games will be revealed during the Showcase. I am surprised that we are getting another video from Nintendo this soon. We just had a couple. Not that I’m complaining! I…

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom has been available on the Nintendo Switch eshop for a little bit now. I hadn’t had the chance to play the game yet. I had seen previews of it and thought it looked good but other games were distracting me. And then today, a demo was released for Monster Boy. I decided to download it! What do I think of the Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom demo? Check out my impressions below! Right…
