One of the games I keep forgetting to mention from last nights presentation is Fire Emblem Warriors. Not much was shown of the game and we know nothing about it expect for the title. That will change next week when Nintendo holds a Direct for the game. On January 18th (next Wednesday), Nintendo will have a Direct for Fire Emblem Warriors. They are calling it a Fire Emblem Direct. Fire Emblem Warriors is most likely an action game much like…

Square Enix does a lot of rpgs for the 3DS, but its not often that we see them do rpgs for a Nintendo home console. Last night, it was announced that Dragon Quest 10 and 11 will hit the Switch in Japan. Also Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 was announced for the Switch. And finally, Square showed off a brand new rpg. The new rpg was the game that caught my attention. Yes, I do want Dragon Quest 11…

Thanks to an image Nintendo posted on twitter, we now know some of Nintendo Switch’s lineup for 2017. Please take a look at the following image and read my thoughts on the lineup. Right now, we know five games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch on launch day: Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, Super Bomberman R, Skylanders Imaginators and Just Dance. I can see Breath of the Wild and Skylanders selling well. I suppose Just Dance might do…

I had heard a rumor that Monolith Soft was working on a game for Nintendo Switch, but I was still not prepared for Xenoblade 2’s reveal. I enjoyed the previous Xenoblade games on Wii and Wii U, so it was a happy surprise. Xenoblade 2 is definitely one of my Anticipated titles for Nintendo Switch. When I saw the Monolith Soft logo at the beginning of a trailer last night, I thought I knew what we’d see, but I wasn’t…

Last night, Nintendo streamed the Switch Presentation. And then this morning, Nintendo started streaming Treehouse Live. As I write this, the Treehouse Live is still streaming! For this special More Thoughts From Me, I will cover last nights presentation and what I’ve seen so far of Treehouse Live. I will write another More Thoughts in the future about any additional cool content. So what do I think of the Nintendo Switch so far? Well.. I’m not preordering the Nintendo Switch.…

There's something to be said for nostalgia. Sure it's never a good idea to dwell for too long on the past, but who doesn't occasionally think longingly back to their younger days? For many of us, that nostalgia focuses on one thing: sitting around the TV playing our favorite games. And why shouldn't it

Deciding which games my kids get to play in any given day, and how long they can play them, is very important for me. On my current systems - Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One - I have a mixture of quality kid titles and games they probably shouldn't see until they are at least 21. Unfortunetly, the lack of parental controls means they can see basically everything if they really want to, and launch any game they want. Nintendo is launching great parental controls for the Nintendo Switch which can all be set using your smart phone.

There is nothing more frustrating when it comes to video game releases than when things are region locked. Whether it is because you might be someone from Asia living in America or vice versa, or even someone who just enjoyed playing Asian or western games, region locking has always prevented that. According to Nintendo, region locking will be a thing of the past, so when that JRPG releases a year earlier in Asia than North America, you can now import that, if you wish.

Say what you want about Nintendo, when they rerelease something they always do a great job. This is once again the case for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which not only comes with all the DLC from the Wii U version, but also brings a bunch of new additions, and game mode changes. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be available in April 2017, and is one of our most anticipated Switch games for 2017!

We are working on doing a run down of our most anticipated Switch titles as we barrel towards the March 3rd release date. I just secured my own preorder this morning, and am getting really excited for what will be coming out throughout the rest of 2017. First thing this morning, I don't want to look at the obvious choice - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - but rather, another game that will be a mega hit, Super Mario Odyssey.
