Mario day is over but Nintendo is not done celebrating Mario’s big anniversary yet. Nintendo’s big focus is still on their famous plumber. But what about the Legend of Zelda’s 35th anniversary? During Nintendo’s most recent Direct, we all thought that Legend of Zelda 35th anniversary plans would be announced. Instead one game, Skyward Sword HD, was announced and no new Breath of the Wild 2 footage was shown. We did not get a Zelda collection or any kind of…

Its Mario Day again! Yes, I know Mario Day isn’t a real holiday but for fans of the plumber, its still a special day. Nintendo’s mascot is one of the greatest video game characters ever created. Today I thought I’d talk about what Mar10 Day means to me. Happy Mar10 Day! As far as fake holidays go, this one is my favorite. Mario is such a great character. Super Mario Bros for the NES is the first video game I…

Yesterday I checked out the Outriders demo for the Playstation 4. I heard the game described as “Mass Effect meets Gears of War” online somewhere. I have some thoughts on that and what I played of the demo so far. Outriders is an action game set on a far off planet where some humans have found a lot more than they bargained for thanks to a strange anomaly. The game is sort of like Mass Effect but its mostly like…

Recently, I finally finished the Bravely Default 2 Final demo. And I have some thoughts on the game’s battle system! It took me awhile to finish the Bravely Default 2 demo. I had stopped playing it for a bit and then went back to it, stopped, went back it, etc. I liked the demo but I found it pretty hard. But then, I saw a video that Nintendo put out that explained the battle system and I finally got it!…

Yesterday was Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons. This is a holiday where a bird named Pave comes to your island and just wants to dance and collect feathers. Dancing, feathers, and prizes make up the gist of Festivale. Was this holiday worth checking out? Here are my thoughts on Festivale for New Horizons! Spoiler Warning just in case… Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons is an okay holiday. I liked catching feathers and seeing the animals dancing. The rainbow…

I’ve been wanting to play Immortals Fenyx Rising for awhile now. When I saw the first footage of it, I was blown away. The more I saw of this game, the cooler it looked. I just hadn’t had the chance to buy the game. I still haven’t. Thankfully Ubisoft released a demo of the game last week and I got to check it out! WOW. The Immortals Fenyx Rising demo is so good. Its just so good. First of all,…

I am a huge Nintendo Switch fan. I guess some people might even consider me a Nintendo fanboy. But even I realize that the Nintendo Switch isn’t the most powerful console out there. There are third party games that the system just can not handle. So what’s the solution? It looks like Nintendo and third parties think its the Cloud. Last year Control came to the Nintendo Switch via a streaming solution. The Cloud version of Control wasn’t the first…

Last year was…well it was 2020. What else needs to be said? And this year isn’t better yet. However we do know what games will be coming out for the Nintendo Switch in February, March, and April. So does Nintendo need to do a regular Nintendo Direct soon? And will they ever do a Direct again? As a bonus to my thoughts, check out the very first Nintendo Direct below! Last week Nintendo released a trailer and new information for…

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game is releasing this week and will appear on lots of platforms. I’ve talked about that elsewhere. Let’s talk about the movie! Scott Pilgrim Vs The World started life as a comic book. I’ve only ever read a little bit of the comic. My experience with the story is via the movie and the game. Today I want talk about the movie. Its still video game related! How is it video game related? Well,…

One of my last 2020 Nintendo Switch reviews was an indie game called Calico. I liked it a lot but there were some issues that kept it back from being a great game. It was still a good one. And now an update has been released for the game. Here are my first impressions of whats changed. In my review of Calico I said, “Also not being able to share screenshots of this game online seems like a huge mistake!”…
