Super Mario Bros. Wonder came out a lot longer ago than I remember, but while my timelines might be jumbled, I do remember it being an absolute gem on the Nintendo Switch. Wonder was a one-off experience for me: I played it through once, got about 90% completion, and never touched it again. Super Mario Brows. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park was the perfect opportunity to jump ...

Resident Evil: Requiem is not simply a return to form for the franchise—it is a reckoning. It feels like a game made by creators who sat down and asked themselves what *Resident Evil* is actually supposed to feel like when you strip everything else away. The answer, here, is fear that lingers, grief that weighs heavy, and survival that comes at a genuine emotional cost. This is a game that does not chase ...
Everyone said that Animal Crossing: New Horizons came around at the exact right time, with people stuck at home due to a global pandemic, the game sold incredibly well and introduced so many people to the cozy life-simulation experience. While Pokémon Pokopia is not an exact remake of that formula, it does scratch the same itch in many ways, which is why I think Pokémon Pokopia is going to thrive on the Nintendo ...

Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favourite series’ on the Nintendo Switch, with the second installment being my favourite. I’ve never seriously played through the first game, at least not in a really long time, so it all felt really new to me when I loaded it up.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Mario tennis franchise. I loved the first GameBoy Colour release, and have liked elements of almost all the releases ever since. What generally happens with each release is that I love the arcade like tennis matches, but less so the the wacky realities of the Mario Kingdom universe. With Mario Tennis Fever, I think those thoughts still persist, but I’ve been enjoying this ...
Once upon a time, a game called Dragon Quest 7 released on the PlayStation instead of the Nintendo 64. Dragon Quest games up until that point had been exclusive to Nintendo.

Here’s our review! In Final Fantasy 7 ...

It’s been a long time since Metroid Prime 3 ended, a whopping 18 years. With the last Metroid Prime game launching in 2007, safe to say that fans have been anxiously waiting this release. Honestly, it felt like this week would never come, as Metroid Prime 4 went through a number of rollercoaster moments during it’s development cycle. Other Metroid games have released during this lull, but as someone ...
I’m always fairly open about games I don’t think I’ll have a lot of interest in, but I’ve always got my review partners by my side (my family). Even when I’m not necessarily super excited about something, generally others are, and that was the case for Kirby Air Riders. I understand the scope of the game and what is being provided to players, and I think it is incredibly impressive. But a racing game where you ...

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has never been one that I gravitated towards, but when the first Hyrule Warriors launched, I realized I quite enjoyed the various mechanics and the hack-and-slash nature of the gameplay. A few Warriors games later – including more Hyrule Warriors – and I now consider myself a fan. I got to play Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment at a Nintendo of Canada holiday event, ...

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is one of my favourite Pokémon games ever released. Outside of the original games, it might just be my favourite. The idea of exploring an open world, throwing Pokéballs outside of battles, and seeing Pokémon live in their natural environments was fascinating. Tack on some crafting, Pokédex filling, and more, and you had a unique, yet familiar, Pokémon experience. While Pokémon Legends: ...
It’s been a few years since I picked up a soccer game on the Nintendo Switch. For years, EA Sports continued to release their yearly soccer games on Nintendo Switch, but always with a subtitle. See, soccer on Nintendo Switch was always an afterthought, and until recently was a bare bones experience that suffered from frame rate issues, lack of content, and an overall disappointing presentation. Enter FC 26, ...
I’ve always loved the Super Mario franchise although my ranking of the franchises 3D releases is far different than the average Nintendo fan.

After playing both games ...
