With another Nintendo Mini Direct in the books, the gloves are off and writers around the world are going to start dissecting what Nintendo is offering fans. The initial impression for some wasn't great: too many Wii U games and older games on other systems being ported to Switch. Based on the low install base of the Wii U, and that many Nintendo fans ONLY own Nintendo consoles, bringing all of these 'older' titles to the Nintendo Switch is actually a really smart idea, and in no way causes assumptions of laziness on the part of Nintendo, and other developers ...

Read MoreChicken Wiggle for the Nintendo Switch?
Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS is a great game. Check out my review here. I highly recommend the game if you have a 3DS.

Read MoreARK Aberration – Why ARK: Survival Evolved Was My Most Played Game on Xbox in 2017
According to my stats from Xbox Canada, I played a lot of games on my Xbox One in 2017, some on the original Xbox One, some on the Xbox One S, and a TON on the Xbox One X! One of those games that got an uptick in play time near the end of the year was ARK: Survival Evolved. This was for two reasons: first, ARK developers released a 4K update for the game which I wanted to see for myself on the Xbox One X; second, the latest expansion for ARK was recently released. Titled Aberration, this new DLC pits you against the radioactive world, deep under ground. Think ...
Read MoreThree Things Assassin’s Creed Origins Doesn’t Need…But Would Be Cool
Assassin's Creed Origins is easily one of the best games released in 2017, and it has even taken my top spot amongst Assassin's Creed titles since the original, topping my previous all-time favorite, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. From start to finish, exploring Ancient Egypt and removing its citizens from the grasp of a tyrannical leader was an amazing experience. With so much to do, there really was never a dull moment. Quests were varied, and the chance at rare and legendary loot made me explore every nook the game had to offer. When we look back at ...

Is the Kirby Battle Royale demo any good? I…
Read MoreTop 3 Things We Want in a Pokémon Game on Switch
We all know that a Pokémon game is coming to the Nintendo Switch, hopefully in 2018, but the details of such a game are currently in the dark. Will it be an upgraded version of what has been working on handhelds for 20+ years, or will it be something in the vein of Pokémon Snap? Or, will Nintendo look to do something crazy and different, bringing the franchise in a new direction? My bet is on an experience that mimics the turn based games we've come to enjoy on Nintendo's handheld system, and after much conversation with my good friend Paul Hunter - you can ...
