Platformer

The Nintendo Switch has had a really big first year: a Zelda game, tons of great Indies, third party games (Skyrim!), and coming very soon: a 3D Mario game! Super Mario Odyssey comes out this month and it could very be the biggest and best to come out for Switch this year. That a pretty bold statement too when you think of Breath of Wild and all the great Indies and third games like Skyrim (not even out yet but…

3D platformers are the “in” thing again and so we’ve been seeing a lot more of them than we have of 2D platformers. Sure, 2D platformers are still “in” but you have to be called Shovel Knight or Steamworld to really make a huge go of it. People want 3D platformers now and they are getting them. The newest of the 3D platformers to come to the Nintendo Switch is Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure. I am playing the game for review,…

Nintendo posted a new trailer for Super Mario Odyssey tonight, coming in at over 5 minutes and detailing what you will get to see and play when you load up the game on October 27th. For those trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible, leave now! For those who want all these juicy details, watch the video below!

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions released today on the Nintendo 3DS; as the title is essentially broken into two components - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Bowsers Minions - we though we would review each separately. Today, we are looking at the recreation of the Gameboy Advanced classic RPG title. Is grabbing it on the 3DS solely to replay this classic adventure worth it, regardless of the Bowsers Minions additions? We think so, read on to find out why!

Mutant Mudds has to be one of the hardest platformers I’ve ever played. And it got even harder with the Super Challenge! If you’ve never played Mutant Mudds (either one) or just want to play it again, well, you’ll get your chance when the game(s) comes to the Nintendo Switch this year. We have the details and a trailer below. Mutant Mudds Collection will be coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. There is no specific release date for the…

If you haven’t, please check out my Metroid: Samus Returns reviews-in-progress part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4. Today, I want to provide you with my full final review of Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS. Will Metroid fans love this game? If you’ve never played a Metroid game before, would this game be easy to get into? I’ll answer those questions while also, of course, letting you know if the game is good or not. Story has…

Last week, I was going to write about third party games. Instead, I wrote about the Adventure games coming to the Switch. This week…well, I have to admit I’m starting to wonder if the Switch even needs third party games! Don’t get wrong: it would be very nice to see more third party games come to the Switch, however, have you seen how many games came out for the system last week? And this week? Plus we have Super Mario…

Image & Form are one of the best Indie developers that create games for Nintendo Systems. So when they announced Steamworld Dig 2 for Nintendo Switch, I had no doubt that the game would be good. I just had to wonder how good it would be? Would the game be better than Steamworld Dig? Would it be better than Steamworld Heist? Better than both?

I never played the full Rayman Legends game on the Wii U. I played the demo, but I just never got around to playing the full game. Then Ubisoft sent us a review code for this game and our editor-in-chief, Adam Roffel, decided I should do the review.

Wayforward, the developers of the Shantae series, will be bringing another game to consoles (and STEAM) soon! The Mummy Demastered has its first trailer! Check out the video, some information about the game, and my impressions below. Here is some more information about the game (via youtube): “A powerful ancient evil has arisen, and the war to save humanity has begun! The Mummy Demastered throws you into a 16-bit-inspired battle against the undead in a 2D, nonlinear, action-packed adventure. As…
