What I want in a Nintendo Direct this September
It’s past mid-September and history tells us that Nintendo likes to have Nintendo Direct presentations in this month to prepare fans for Q4 2021 and Q1 2022. We already know some of the big hitters coming out before the holidays: Metroid Dread, Mario Party Allstars, and Pokémon Shining Pearl and Brilliant Diamond. But what else does Nintendo have planned? And surprise drops for games in October or December? Here are a few titles I hope Nintendo is working on!
Farming Simulator 22 Supports Cross Play
I still can remember when the Farming Simulator franchise was a single player experience through and through. Fun still, yes of course, but owning a farming empire is always more fun with friends, especially since it allows you to expand at an exponential rate. So many people playing farming simulator solo miss out on so much of what the game has to offer just because of time! Then Farming Simulator got multiplayer, and this year, we are getting crossplay as well! Let's take a peak!
The AmazingAmerican Circus Deeper Than I Thought
Based on the few trailers I saw for The Amazing American Circus, I thought I was going to be playing a weird card game about a circus. A good card game, mind you, but not one with monsters and fantasy warriors. Nope, just a regular circus troupe. But after getting into the game's story, I realized it was so much more, for better or for worse. What do I think of this title - let's dive in!

EPOS Expands H3 Series with H3 Hybrid and H3PRO Hybrid
Today, EPOS revealed the USB-connected H3 Hybrid and wireless H3PRO Hybrid gaming headsets, providing high-quality digital audio experiences and new features for a wide range of immersive experiences for all gamers.
Monster Harvest Does Things Good, but not Great
I've been looking forward to playing Monster Harvest for a long time now - a game that moulds the concepts of Pokémon with Stardew Valley / Harvest Moon? Sign me up! And while I've enjoyed my time with the game - as short as it was, surprisingly - I can't help but feel that I came out of the whole experience a tad disappointed in what was offered. Is Monster Harvest Worth it? Let's take a look.
Everything from the Playstation Showcase
While absent from this year’s E3, Sony came out swinging in yesterday’s presentation that has some (including myself) wondering…..did they just win E3? There was a ton to digest here from further looks at titles we knew about to a bunch of new announcements and first looks. Without further ado, let’s dive right in. Death loop was shown….again. Despite being less than a week away, we got another look at Deathloop, definitely one of the low points of the show…
Streets of Rage 4 Anywhere and Everywhere (Google Stadia)
Being able to play games wherever I want is outstanding. Whether on my various TVs around the house - sometimes natively via the TV and other times via my Chromecast with Google TV - on my cell phone, any of my computers...you get the picture. While not a huge fighting game fan, Streets of Rage 4 was something I could dive into for a few moments at a time, anywhere in my house, and I really enjoyed the experience.
iRobot Introduces Roomba(R) j7+ Robot Vacuum with Genius™ 3.0 Home Intelligence
I've always been skeptical of robot vacuums, but in late 2019, iRobot gave me the opportunity to look at the Roomba i7+ which included a robot and a base station for disposal. Even after getting the product, setting it up, and using it a few times, I was still really skeptical that it would fit my families needs. Then we learned the 'proper' use of the system, and began setting up scheduled clean up times. Monday-Wednesday-Friday in the Kitchen and Dinning Room, Tuesday-Thursday in the Living Room, and everything on Saturday and Sunday. And ever since then, we've been in love. When the news broke that Roomba had a brand new vacuum coming to market, with even better features, I was really excited.
LEGO Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block Coming October 1st
Nintendo and LEGO continue to partner on some outstanding sets, and thankfully we have had the privilidge to review most of these. But the companies just don't stop, highlighted yet again today by the stealth drop of another LEGO Super Mario set. And while this one will work with the Mario and Luigi starter set figures, it is a completely different set than the others. This micro build set will feature 4 iconic levels from Super Mario 64, a handful of micro figures, and a Question Mark Block to house it all. Let's dive into some of the details!
