Nintendo surprised everyone today with a Nintendo Direct Mini. Well everyone expect me. I predicted it! Okay, so I was still shocked that I was right. You can check out the Direct Mini below and then please come back for my thoughts on it! My brain is broke. Seriously. Okay. Let’s see….how do I start talking about this… Bravely Default 2 looks excellent. It really does. The graphic, the gameplay, the jobs, oh my. Wow. But its not coming out…

Hey, instead of an article or articles talking about video game news today, I thought I’d give you a video with me talking about some stuff, including the PS5. I plug the site too (of course), one of Adam Roffel’s newest contests, and my column. Want to see more video game news updates from me? Let us know!…

I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube Video Game Channels lately. I especially love hearing about retro video games, but even new stuff is cool too. So without further ado, here are my top 5 youtube video game channels! Oh and if you don’t want to read it, there’s a youtube video with me reading all this (though you’ll miss the youtube links if you don’t read too. heh). Just a note that everyone should include! This is my opinion…

We will have our own review of the newest DLC for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield soon, but in the meantime, you can watch our good friend Abdallah playing it now!

There was a whole article written in my head, and with each loss the adjectives were getting swearier. Rocket League had gone to the dogs. Was it because it was now free-to-play? Had the community just got bogged down by awful players and bad losers? It was sad to see such a great game in such a sorry state. The good news is that Rocket League is still amazing. The bad news is that players on Switch are getting a…

Add me to the group of folks that thought Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit was going to be a gimmicky mess when it launched, but with just a weekend of play under my belt, and a Mario Kart that has been charged 7-8 times, add me to the new group of folks admitting to being wrong. Mario Kart Live is an absolute blast - I initially thought this would just be fun for my kids, but my wife and I are enjoying it as well.

We’ve seen a lot of Metroidvania’s on the Nintendo Switch but what about a Metroidvania that combines elements of an rpg and a visual novel? Enter Even the Ocean for Nintendo Switch, a hybrid of sorts: one part Metroidvania, one part rpg, and one part visual novel. Is it any good? Even the Ocean isn’t defined by just one genre. At first glance, its a Metroidvania. And then you see its world map and you think “oh its an rpg”…

Do you like Metroid? If the answer is yes, than buckle up! A new Metroid-like game is coming out today on the Nintendo Switch eshop! Its called Two Parsecs From Earth. Is it a good game? Let’s find out! Two Parsecs From Earth isn’t a Metroidvania game. Its a very Metroid-like game. What’s the difference? Well Two Parsecs doesn’t really have any Castlevania in its blood. Instead its very much Metroid: searching underground for powerups while avoiding enemies. There are…
