Our overall review of Splatoon 2 is up on the site and readable here, but we thought we would do some extended, more in depth looks at some of the specific modes in the game. 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.

Splatoon 2 comes out tomorrow (7/21). Please check out Adam Roffel’s review. And you should check out this cool new Splatoon 2 launch trailer from Nintendo UK too! I love how this trailer gives a run down of all the different modes in the game. My favorite part, though, is when a lot of the special new weapons (hamster ball!) are shown! What do you like best about the above trailer? Are you looking forward to Splatoon 2?…

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is coming out next week. Check out this new launch trailer for the system! The New Nintendo 2DS XL will be out on July 28th. In my opinion, this system looks like the best version of the 3DS yet. The system is very sleek and slim. The screens are huge and the system’s colors, blue & black, look great. If you don’t care about 3D, then then the New 2DS XL looks like the best…

Not many games entice me to be online often like Splatoon 2 when it comes to Nintendo products. Even with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I generally spend way more time offline with friends locally, than online with strangers! I suck at first person shooters, and I generally play adventure title, almost exclusively. About there is something unique about Splatoon that makes me come back again and again, and I'm not sure I can put my finger on one reason why. Whether it's the online modes, Salmon Run, or the single player campaign, there is always something to do in ...

Spider-man Homecoming was an awesome movie. I won’t even pretend to be unbiased about that movie. But one of the things that I didn’t really care for in the movie was his “original” costume. I guess it was more realistic for a first costume, but still. Why am I talking about this? I’m talking about it because today it was announced that first costume of Peter’s is coming to Lego Marvel 2! Like I said, I’m not a fan of…
