When games are developed and released in Japan, western audiences sometimes feel left out. This was definitely the case for Dragon Quest 11, which was released in July of 2017 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4.

The 2D space/air shooter genre has been around since the early days of arcade games. The basics of the genre haven’t changed much, mostly its the graphics that have changed. Fullblast for Nintendo Switch is a new 2D shooting game that takes place on Earth and has you controlling an aircraft thats taking on some aliens. The game doesn’t have much of a story, though 2D shooters rarely do. The important thing here is whether Fullblast is a fun game…

We got some new information about the Nintendo Switch online service during the Nintendo Direct today. Check out the overview trailer below and then some thoughts from me on the service. I liked the Nintendo Switch online service overview for the most. I didn’t like the bit about the smartphone app (who does?!) but the rest looked great.
