Farming Simulation games have a huge following, mostly from European gamers, and because of the immense success of the Farming Simulator franchise, more and more companies are coming to the table with their own versions. Real Farm from SOEDESCO is a great example of a company looking to take that formula, change it up a bit to make it their own, and release it to the public. But when you are going up against such a beloved franchise, how hard is it to rise to the top? And is your game going to be any good, or just be considered a knock off? We look at this, ...

I decided to check out the Japanese eshop recently. I knew there were one or two demos on there that were not on the American or European eshops. I especially wanted to check out the Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 demo. I am a big Dragon Quest fan and this game has not come to North American (or Europe) yet. It may never come west. So I was happy to get a chance to check the demo out. Is…

I’m always on the look out for a new Adventure game for the Nintendo Switch. I loved Thimbleweed Park and Old Man’s Journey and Oxenfree were great too. And this week another adventure game joins the Nintendo eshop. The game is called Last Day of June! We have a trailer and more information about the game below. Last Day of June is an adventure/puzzle/rpg from 505 Games (Portal Knights) and Ovosonico. The game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch…

By now, we all know what to expect from the Toy-Con 1 and Toy-Con 2 packs that will hit retail when Nintendo Labo goes live on April 20, but what we are less familiar with is how the Toy-Con Garage will work. Toy-Con Garage will allow creative users to make their own toys using the features built into the Joy-Con controllers. Check out the trailer below!

The following game is not 36 Fragments of Midnight, even though it does look like that game. Instead, Midnight Deluxe is like a game of golf. You must hit an object into a hole. Sounds simple right? Well, this game gets harder as you go. Is Midnight Deluxe a good game or not? Read my review to find out! Midnight Deluxe has no story or setup. Instead, the player is thrown into a series of environments where they play an…

There are some games that are so hard that you just want to throw your controller or in the case of the Switch, your system, and give up games altogether. And then there are other games that are hard and yet you don’t want to give up on the game. These are hard, maybe a bit punishing at times, and very addictive. Celeste for the Nintendo Switch fits into that second catogory. Its a hard game. Its also a very…

Like Mario and Zelda, Kirby is another of the Nintendo franchises that has refused to quit over the past 25 years, and for good reason: despite the 'easy' nature of these games, they continue to appeal to the broader Nintendo fan base, taking the world of platform video games and delivering it to a wider, more accessible audience. Like the Kirby games before it, Star Allies continues the trend of mixing easy gameplay with charming visuals and audio. Does the package work when stuck together? Despite the easy nature of the experience, we think so!

The Scribblenauts franchise has been around since the DS era. While this series has never been a best selling attention getting game, it has always been unique and different. And now Scribblenauts has come to the Nintendo Switch with a multiplayer focused game. Is Scibblenauts Showdown as good as the other games in the series? This is a very different sort of Scribblenauts game than previous games in the series. With the games on other systems, Scribblenauts has always been…

Few Japanese Role Playing Games in the last decade have grabbed me quite like Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has. The last few JRPG's that had a huge impact on me - in terms of how much I wanted to play them compared to the other games I owned - were probably Tales of Symphonia back on the Nintendo Game Cube, and Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360. I've always taken a liking to the Tales franchise, but in recent years, I've been fairly disappointed in their offerings. Tales of Berseria was good, but not what I had hoped. Once I got a few hours into Ni No Kuni ...

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to review the Charge:Tower Pro units for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 courtesy of Snakebyte. While we commended both units as being excellent storage solutions and dual charging units, we indicated that it came at a cost: space. As more and more people move towards a completely digital library, the need for towers to hold games is becoming less and less necessary. Enter an alternative product from Snakebyte: the Twin:Charge 4 for PlayStation 4 and the Twin:Charge X for Xbox One.
