Nintendo of America had an Indie (Nindie) showcase today. You can check that video out below and then please come back for my impressions of it. Today’s Nindie Showcase was not very good. There were no major surprises like Fornite or even a release date for Wargroove. None of the previously mentioned indie games from other showcases were mentioned at all. The video was also very short. Now, I’m not saying that there were no interesting games at all in…

Few Japanese Role Playing Games in the last decade have grabbed me quite like Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has. The last few JRPG's that had a huge impact on me - in terms of how much I wanted to play them compared to the other games I owned - were probably Tales of Symphonia back on the Nintendo Game Cube, and Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360. I've always taken a liking to the Tales franchise, but in recent years, I've been fairly disappointed in their offerings. Tales of Berseria was good, but not what I had hoped. Once I got a few hours into Ni No Kuni ...

If you've never had the opportunity to play Don't Starve, I'm almost likely to tell you to forget this pack coming in April and go grab a digital copy of the game now. That being said, the Mega Pack - which is releasing April 17th - packs a ton of content into a retail launch, including a skin for your PS4 or Xbox One controller! Check out the details below!

Nintendo is currently very focused on the Nintendo Switch. They released a ton of games for the system and will be releasing even more this year. And yet, they still have the 3DS too and have said there will be games for it this year. They have already released a new Kirby game in January and will release Detective Pikachu in March. But will there be other games? What will those other games be? I love the Nintendo Switch. I…

Often times, when you remember a game from your youth, you tend to look at it through rose coloured glasses. In preparation for the review of Age of Empires Definitive Edition, I pulled a very old PC out of the basement, set it up, and ran my own personal copy of Age of Empires: Rise of Rome. And ladies and gentleman, that game is awful, especially when you look at all the great Age of Empires games that have launched since then. When Microsoft announced that we would be getting a new Age of Empires experience, all remastered and brought into the 21st ...

NIS America, creators of Disgaea, have announced a new strategy rpg today. And the game is coming to the Nintendo Switch. God Wars: The Complete Legends is the game in question. We have a trailer for it and my thoughts on God Wars below. I love strategy rpgs. I’m definitely a fan of Disgaea dood. So I think its really exciting that God Wars: The Complete Legends is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The cutscenes in the trailer remind me…

I played Mercenaries  Saga 2 and 3 on the 3DS. I enjoyed the second one a lot, but never could get into the third one for some reason. And yet when Mercenaries Saga Chronicles for the Nintendo Switch was announced, I was excited! The first game had never been released on the 3DS so I didn’t play it. I was excited to play that, play the second one again, and give the third one another chance. Plus, come on, three…

More Fire Emblem Warriors DLC is on the way! We have details below about the upcoming DLC pack. New Fire Emblem Warriors DLC is coming on Feb. 14th! Here are the details of the pack via Nintendo: “The second DLC Pack includes the following content, most of which is inspired by the classic Nintendo DS game Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon: New Skills: Lone Wolf, Quick Wit and Minerva’s Iote’s Shield, which cancels any enemy effectiveness. New History Maps: Princess Minerva…

When I saw Railway Empire from Kalypso - the same company behind the Tropico series - I knew the game was going to be relatively good. That being said, I always have a few reservations about playing tycoon and simulation style titles on a console, using a controller. More than half the time, the controller just cannot replicate the feel of the mouse and keyboard, and many games in this style fall flat because of pure controls. After only a few hours with Railway Empire, however, and I can safely say that this title does not suffer from that in any way.
