Lightwood Games will be releasing another game for the Wii U and 3DS this week! This time they are taking on Sudoku in Sudoku Party. You can check out a video from Lightwood and my thoughts on the game below. Sudoku Party from Lightwood Games is coming to the 3DS and Wii U this Thursday, March 16th! I do not understand Sudoku at all. So I will not be reviewing this game. However, despite my lack of understanding, I’m very…

I really like the BoxBoy games. Nintendo’s BoxBoy, a puzzle game created by Hal Lab (creators of Kirby), has already seen two games for the 3DS eshop. A third and final game, Bye-Bye BoxBoy, will see release this month. Bye-Bye BoxBoy! will be coming to the 3DS eshop in Europe on March 23rd. Nintendo of America tweeted earlier today that the game would also be coming to the North American eshop on the same day but have since deleted the…

One of the best things about Indies is that they are not afraid of being weird. Indies generally take more chances than third party developers and create games that are unique and interesting. Not all of these unique and interesting games are good, but I love how Indies are willing to experiment. Take, for instance, Back to Bed for Wii U. You would not see a third party, maybe not even a first party developer, create a game about saving a sleepwalker.

I’m tired. I don’t feel like writing this article. I think I’ll go Back to Bed. Wait. What’s this? There’s a game for the Wii U called Back to Bed? Alright. I guess I can tell you about this game. I did just get the review code for this game yesterday, so I’ll only be able to tell you a little about it. My full review will hopefully be up next week! For now, let’s take a short look at…

Tetris is one of the best video game puzzle games out there, if not the very best. There are a lot of other really good puzzle games too and one of them is Puyo Puyo. I really liked the Mean Bean Machine verison of the series in particular. And now Tetris and Puyo Puyo will have a crossover game with Puyo Puyo Tetris! The game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in April. We have more details about the…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t regret buying a Wii U. There are a ton of great games on the Wii U. I own most of them. I also really love the Wii U gamepad. It is, currently, my favorite video game controller. That said, I’m not happy at all with how Nintendo has treated the system, especially near the end of its life. Let’s take a look back at the Life and Death of…

The Defenders of the Triforce experience, a unique real life escape room event, was announced last year. Nintendo will be attempting to bring the Legend of Zelda to real life for fans across eight U.S. cities. What about Canada though? Will Canadian fans be able to visit the land of Hyrule too? The answer is yes. The Defenders of the Triforce experience was announced in November of 2016. What is the experience? Here is how Nintendo describes it via a…

Indie developers have bought a lot games to the Wii U (and some to the Wii also). And it looks like that won’t change with Nintendo Switch. Tomorrow Corporation, who has two of the games on Wii U and one on Wii, will be bringing those games to the Switch. We have the details below. World of Goo was a puzzle game for the Wii. It was an absolute standout game for Wiiware. This was at a time when not …

This More Thoughts From Me is about Edutainment games. You can and should learn from video games. Its great to have a fun game that has  an entertaining story. We all want that escape from reality. Fun is important. But why can’t you, sometimes at least, have fun and learn something too? Most people seem to think of Edutainment as a genre for kids. Many of these games are, in fact, designed for little kids. Some, such as Brain Age,…
