1-Up Box is quickly becoming one of my favorite subscription boxes, and this month they completely hit it out of the park. With a great theme - Squad - the team over there put together a fantastic collection of items, making this the best 1-Up Box I have received so far. Unfortunately, the video we shot corrupted on the card, so this month we only have our written review!

I’m always disappointed when a Wii U game doesn’t use the gamepad much. We’ve seen a lot of indie games and even some Nintendo games, that only use Off-TV play and nothing else. When a game comes along that has unique and fun gameplay that uses the gamepad, such as Affordable Space Adventures, I’m always happy and hoping that we’ll see even more games like it.

Metroid Prime Blast Ball recently received a demo on the eshop. This may be the most extensive demo we’ve ever seen too. Nintendo has included all of Blast Ball in this free demo and you can play it unlimited times. The most impressive part of the demo is the online multiplayer. With Federation Force right around the corner though, we all knew that the online in the demo wouldn’t last forever. We now know when the multiplayer will end! In…

I remember seeing Star Fox Guard back when it was just an untitled camera switching game at E3. I didn’t think it was very impressive and wasn’t sure if it was even really a game. Flash forward to the Star Fox Guard reveal from Nintendo. I still wasn’t very impressed by the game. There didn’t look to be much to it. But I couldn’t help wanting to try the game sooner or later. Nintendo gave us a demo of Star…

We Happy Few from a small developer in Montreal has a project on the go that is definitly bigger than the company itself. And good on them for pushing the limits. I’ve only spent a few hours with We Happy Few since receiving our code from the PR company, but damn it, it’s a pretty good experience. There is nothing shockingly new about the formula for this title; like most ‘survival’ games, you escape something, must get somewhere, and perhaps…

Recently, I received a review code of a Wii U game called 3Souls Episode 1: Nelesa from the game’s developer Red Column. My review isn’t ready yet, but I thought since the game came out today that a preview was in order. What do I think of 3Souls so far? Here are my early thoughts! I’m always complaining when indie developers don’t use the Wii U gamepad much. I love Off-TV play, but there’s so much more that you can…

Three classic Kirby games were released today, plus a demo for Kirby Robobot. Happy Kirby Day! Check out below to see which games Nintendo released and my thoughts on each of them. Three Kirby games were released for Nintendo systems today (7/27). The…

Darksiders 2 for the Wii U is really good. If you like action games with dash of Zelda exploration and puzzles, then you should definitly check it out. Though, you might be wondering if the first game is any good. I have no idea since the game isn’t on the Wii U. That will change soon though! Darksiders Warmastered Edition will be coming to the Wii U in October. I really liked Darksiders 2 for the Wii U. I got…

Futuristic sounds like it should be awesome, so by naming it that, Loot Crate began hyping up July's Loot Crate. So many great franchises come to mind when you think of futuristic, and over the month until my box arrived, I wondered which of the many they would include. Although I was off on many of my predictions, I was still right with a lot of them. Check out our full review with photos below the unboxing video, and see if Loot Crate is something you should continue to subscribe too!
