On Friday last week, Nintendo of Canada invited myself and other local media to an after hours preview of Super Smash Bros Ultimate at FanExpo 2018. For three hours, media were able to play against each other in 4 player games, lasting 2 minutes and 30 seconds each. With so many stations, I was able to log almost three straight hours of Super Smash Bros, and my early impressions are really great!

Thunderful Games, a new company which is the combined effort of Image and Form and Zoink Games, has announced some games today. They released a sizzle reel showing off three games. Check it out below! Image & Form and Zoink! Games are great developers. I think its amazing that the two of them are working together. The most interesting of the three games shown in the sizzle reel is Anthill for Nintendo Switch. It looks like a game anyone who…

When I saw Into the Breach on the recent Nindie Nintendo Direct, I knew I wanted to review it. I love turn-based tactical games, plus Into the Breach just looked really neat. Thankfully, the developer provided me with a Nintendo Switch review code for the game. I’ve had a couple of days to play it and now want to provide you with some impressions. How is Into the Breach so far? Into the Breach came out on the Nintendo Switch…

The Portal Knights team has been very active on social media ever since the game originally launched, and now that things are up and running on every platform imaginable - Steam, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android - the team is busy pumping out content updates to support the ever growing fan base. Although these updates are not coming as fast as fans would like - and I'm sure the Portal Knights development team would like to see certification faster as well - when they do launch, it is with much fanfare and anticipation!

Human: Fall Flat, a physics based puzzle platformer, received a free online multiplayer update recently. The update is for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch version of the game. The PC version received this update last year. Check out a video for the update below. I have never played Human: Fall Flat, but it looks like a really neat game. And now 8-player multiplayer has been added to the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One versions of…

What do you get when you combine a turn-based rpg with a word puzzle game? You get Letter Quest Remastered of course. The game is currently available on the Nintendo Switch and its on sale for $2.99 till August 30th! I picked it up on sale and now have some thoughts on it. Should you attack monsters with your words? I like word puzzle games. That should be obvious if you ever read any of my Lightwood Games reviews. I’m…

Nintendo of America had a indie showcase video today. We have the video below and my thoughts on it. I thought todays Nindies Showcase video was ok. Overall, I wasn’t too impressed with most of the games. The two games that stuck out to me were Into the Breach (out today!) and Treasure Stack. I love tactical rpgs and puzzle games. I’m also interested in Hyper Light Drifter and Undertale. I’m not sure about many of the other games. Still,…

When I heard the former creator of Harvest Moon - back when the franchise was the talk of farming simulation - was creating a brand new experience that would involve fishing, farming, and dragon raising, I was immediately intrigued and exited for the experience that was about to come. As time wore on, and more and more information about the game came to light, I began to have my doubts that this once famed developer would be able to rekindle the old Harvest Moon magic within a new title, and perhaps even, a new franchise. Now that I've played through the ...

We had a Switch Indie Highlight video this week from the UK. You may have thought, well, thats it for the Indies then. You would be wrong. Nintendo of America announced a Nindie Showcase video presentation for next week. Check out the announcement below and some thoughts from me. On one hand, I think this Nindie showcase could be full of updates on previously announced games and new indie games for the Switch. On the other hand, we just got…

In the newest Lego DC Super Villains trailer, Darkseid and his home Apokolips, two Jack Kirby creations, show up to wreck (improve?) everyone’s day! Check out the trailer and then some thoughts from me. Its hard for me to explain how excited I am for Lego DC Super Villains. Even more so, I’m excited for the appearance of Darkseid and Apokolips in the game. Jack Kirby is one of the greatest comic book creators ever. Jack and Stan Lee created…
