Indies

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…

Welcome to the New Year! I'll have a bunch of More Thoughts From Me this year...starting with this one. This time I want to talk about the games I hope get announced this year. Some of the following is based on rumors I've heard and others are based on what I'd like to see! What will 2017 bring us? These are my hopes...

During PAX 2016, Nintendo held a Nindies@Night event showcasing upcoming Wii U and 3DS indie games. Yesterday, they brought out a video recapping the event! The video and my thoughts are below. Which Indie do I think looks the best? PAX 2016 has come and gone. It was over so quick! But Nintendo doesn’t want you to forget about anything, especially not the upcoming Nindies, so they put together a recap video for their Nindies@Night PAX event. Please take a…

The Wii U has been home to many indie games since the system came out. The 3DS has also been home to some cool indies too. But Nindies, as Nintendo indies have been nicknamed, are only getting started this year! Nintendo released a press release and a trailer today showing off Nindies that are coming next month through December. Its a very impressive list! We have Nintendo’s press release, the trailer, and my thoughts on the Nindies below. We have…

As you all know, I’m a huge fan of Indie developers. I talk about Indies a lot and I review their games a lot too. I’m a Wii U and 3DS owner only and Indies are major third party developers for both systems. But there has been a small trend among Wii U Indie developers that has me worried! What is this trend? Read on to find out! Another Indie developer left Wii U development recently. This hasn’t been happening…

Today, Nintendo’s Damon Baker was on E3’s Youtube Channel and showed off some Indie games coming to the Wii U and 3DS. We have the details now! On E3’s Youtube channel, Nintendo’s Damon Baker and several indie developers showed off some games coming to the Wii U and 3DS. Here are my thoughts on each game and trailers for the games: Jotun: Valhalla Edition Jotun: Valhalla Edition was the first game that they showed off during the short Nintendo E3…

Last year, I was unimpressed by Sony and Microsoft. They didn’t have much to show for their new systems and yet, many people were pleased with them, especially Sony. You would think with Nintendo showing only one game this year, that it would be an easy win for Sony and Microsoft this year. I have my doubts. I also have my hopes for them! Some people try to act like E3 isn’t a competition. They say “gamers” are the real…

Where do I begin? Where do I end? Where do I middle? When it comes to The Stanley Parable, there's no real way to review it, just as there is no real way to play it, or finish it, or even describe it on a basic level. In the spirit of The Stanley Parable, allow me to go a bit meta – when I write a review, I like to spend the first couple of paragraphs giving an overview of the game. The story, the setting, but here, there is no proper story, there is no proper setting. Do you see the quandary? Maybe there's only one way to review it...

According to GameInformer, the Xbox One will be doing another 180. Previously, games could not access digital distribution without a publisher, but now Microsoft is reversing this policy. Self-publishing will now be available to independent developers on the Xbox One. This is welcome news, as the popularity of independent games has soared in recent years.
