So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

Hopping into the Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Closed Beta this weekend, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The E3 trailer toyed with the notion that this release would be drastically different from Wildlands, or any other Ghost Recon game that came before it for that matter.

Check out my review of Legend of the Skyfish for the Nintendo Switch! Legend of…

Astral Chain is coming out for the Nintendo Switch this Friday! A launch trailer for the game was released yesterday from Nintendo UK. Check it out below and then please come back for some thoughts about the game. The newest trailer for Astral Chain puts the focus on the game’s action and its story.

GamesReviews.com has previously reviewed Mutant Road Zero: Road to Eden for the Xbox One. Please check out that review! However the game has now arrived on the Nintendo Switch and I am taking a look at that version. How is Mutant Road Zero: Road to Eden on the Switch?

All I know is how disappointed I am in it. The following is my…

Nintendo had their Indie World Showcase video today. You can check it out below and please come back for some thoughts from me about the showcase. The Indie World Showcase for 8.19.2019 was just ok. I suppose my expectations were too high. I think my expectations are always too high about all of these Directs, Indie or otherwise. So I was expecting some pretty big surprises and we didn’t get that. Ori and the Blind Forest wasn’t a big surprise…
