Panzer Paladin Review
What do you get when you create a game with one part Mega Man, one part Castlevania, and one part Shovel Knight? You might get Panzar Paladin for the Nintendo Switch. But does Panzar Paladin live up to those games or should you hop into your mech and download a different game? Panzar Paladin is a 2D action/platformer in the vain of Mega Man, Castlevania, and Shovel Knight. In fact, it does borrow some mechanics from each of those games.…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #231: Donkey Kong Country Nostalgia
Donkey Kong Country is on the Nintendo Switch Online Service now (via the SNES app) and so I thought it was finally time to talk about the game. What’s it like playing DKC again? What’s my best memory of the game? When I was much younger, during the SNES era, I was a huge fan of Donkey Kong Country. The first game in the series. I never did play the second or third one back then (still haven’t played the…

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #227: Sega! Classics!
I was a Nintendo kid growing up, so I didn’t play very many Sega games. I played Sonic, everybody played Sonic, but not many of the other games. Over the years, I have played a few more Sega games, like Beyond Oasis and recently the first Phantasy Star, but there are still a lot of Sega games I haven’t played. Recently, I decided to get the Sega Genesis Classics collection for Nintendo Switch (helped that it was on sale). What…

The following are my guesses on when we should expect news and what that news might be! Nintendo has been quiet lately (well expect for that Jump Rope game). Too quiet. What are they up to? When will we get (real) news next? Many people think that we’ll get news…

But I thought it might be good to talk about the game a bit more in its own article. Here we go! Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was a total surprise during the Playstation 5 event. After Marvel’s Spider-man: Miles Morales was shown, I didn’t think there’d be any hope of a new Ratchet and Clank too. And…
