They say you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but I can’t help asking the following question. I keep seeing third party games being announced for the Nintendo Switch. I think its a great thing. I love that third party games are coming to the system. I hope we see more. That said, will the third party developers stick with the system? Will they bring more games? Nintendo fans have been down this road before. We have been…

Opinion: Will Third Party Developers Stick With the Nintendo Switch?
Nindies Summer Showcase 2017
Nintendo of America did a Nindies Summer Showcase video presentation today. A lot of games were shown off. Check out the video below and please come back for my opinion of the showcase and the games shown. The Nindies Summer Showcase today was really good.

Read MoreResident Evil Revelations 1 + 2 Will be Coming to Nintendo Switch In 2017
Resident Evil Revelations was a really good game on the Wii U. When the second game was announced and it was revealed that it wasn’t coming to Wii U, I was disappointed. I’m not a PlayStation, Xbox or PC gamer, so I was going to miss out on that one. And now Capcom has announced that the first Resident Evil Revelations and the second one are coming to Nintendo Switch! Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 will be coming to…

First up is Salmon Run, the one mode I was most critical of in my review. Frankly, the content of Salmon Run was not what was disappointing, but rather, the limited playability of the mode itself. However, after seeing what plans Nintendo has for this mode, and how often it will be available, I am willing to rescind some of that criticism.
