Xenoblade Chronicles 2 comes out this Friday! Are you excited for it? I know I am! Here is a new story trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles to-help?-you with the wait. The story trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn’t really give away much of the story. We just get glimpses at some very exciting and dramatic moments. I like that Nintendo is releasing some info about the story but isn’t telling us too much. The story seems interesting and even more that,…

I Am Setsuna, an rpg published by Square Enix, will be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch! We have more details below. I wrote about my excitement for I Am Setsuna recently and I’m happy to report that the title was announced as a Nintendo Switch launch title today. It will be available digitally at launch for North America and Europe. Here is how I am Setsuna is described: ““I AM SETSUNA follows the story of Setsuna, a young…

I had no idea what I Am Setsuna was and didn’t think I’d care. I saw the name listed in Nintendo’s recent 2017 Nintendo Switch lineup image on twitter. No video was shown of it during the Switch presentation nor during Treehouse Live. What was this game? I passed it over and didn’t think about it much. Then, I saw a Nintendo Enthusiast video that showed off a lot of games that are coming for the Switch this year. One…

Over the last week, we have been slowly breaking down YO-KAI Watch 2, and been doing so alongside videos from Abdallah, who I've dubbed the YO-KAI King. At this point in our review in progress, we have deviated from what Abdallah has been doing in his play through.

Altus U.S.A. has announced a release date for the next Shin Megami Tensei game! We have that announcement, plus a video showing off the game’s cast. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse will be coming to the 3DS on September 20th! I’ve never played any of the Shin Megami Tensei games before, but I hear they are pretty popular among jrpg fans. I have to say that I like the look of the newest trailer for Apocalypse. It has all the…

The Japanese RPG genre has been dominated by a few major titles, but that hasn't stopped others from stepping in and trying to get a piece of the pie. My personal favorite JRPG titles are those that involve live-action battle sequences over turn based. For that reason, I've always been a HUGE fan of the Tales of franchise, and generally, those titles are my go-to JRPG of choice. When I was informed of Anima: Gate of Memories I was pretty excited.

Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven will have you scratching your head in bewilderment on numerous occasions during this short - for Japanese Role Playing Game standards - but dynamic title. To be fair, it is a wonder this game ever made it to retail, since one of the studios involved with this title, and Rune Factory, shut down suddenly. Fortunately, Marvelous picked up the pieces and presented us with this 'different' and exciting JRPG.

Cybernet was a video game focussed TV show here in the UK back when the PS2 launched. When they weren't showing and reshowing the opening of Metal Gear Solid 2, they were showing and reshowing clips from Final Fantasy X. Look at the graphics! Look at the characters! And, oh, they've got voices as well!
