More Thoughts From Me #52: Play & Learn

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.

Almost Missed It: I Am Setsuna For #NintendoSwitch

I had no idea what I Am Setsuna was and didn’t think I’d care. I saw the name listed in Nintendo’s recent 2017 Nintendo Switch lineup image on twitter. No video was shown of it during the Switch presentation nor during Treehouse Live. What was this game? I passed it over and didn’t think about it much. Then, I saw a Nintendo Enthusiast video that showed off a lot of games that are coming for the Switch this year. One…

#SwitchAnticipatedTitles: Project Octopath Traveler

Square Enix does a lot of rpgs for the 3DS, but its not often that we see them do rpgs for a Nintendo home console.

#SwitchAnticipatedTitle: Bye Bye Region Locking

There is nothing more frustrating when it comes to video game releases than when things are region locked. Whether it is because you might be someone from Asia living in America or vice versa, or even someone who just enjoyed playing Asian or western games, region locking has always prevented that.

First thing this morning, I don't want to look at the obvious choice - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - but rather, another game that will be a mega hit, Super Mario Odyssey.
