More Thoughts From Me #168: Don’t Count Your (Animal Crossing) Chickens

I was going to write a column about how Animal Crossing for the Switch might delayed and then Nintendo reconfirmed that the game was coming out in 2019 last week! So I thought…I should write about them possibly delaying the game anyway. Why? Because we all think the game is safe now. No game is safe from the all powerful delay. Nintendo says that Animal Crossing for the Switch is coming out in 2019. I don’t believe them. We haven’t…

More Thoughts From Me #154: Still A Happy Home

I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since the first game on the Gamecube. I even got amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I did eventually get rid of amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I don’t regret getting rid amiibo Festival, but I did regret letting go of Happy Home Designer. And so recently I got the game back as a digital download. I’m so glad I did. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer isn’t like the other Animal Crossing games. Its…

Spintires: Mudrunner-American Wilds Edition

I’m a horrible driver, in real life and in video games. So I knew going into Spintires: Mudrunner-American Wilds Edition for the Nintendo Switch that I wouldn’t be too good at it. Still, I thought it might be a fun game. Well, at least I was right about one thing. Spintires: Mudrunner-American Wilds Edition isn’t a horrible game but it does feel like a throwback, a game we might have seen on the PS2 or the early PS3. Maybe even…

Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God

Last week, I previewed Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God for the Nintendo Switch. And now I’m finally ready to give you my full thoughts on the game. Is Marenian Tavern Story worth check out? Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God doesn’t have a very good story. The game puts a lot more focus on its tavern running than it does the story itself. The dialogue in the game isn’t good either. What about the gameplay…

My review of this game isn’t ready yet, but I wanted to provide our readers with my thoughts so far on the game. Is this an rpg/sim you’ll want to play? Marenian Tavern Story is part Little Dragon’s Café and part turn-based rpg. In this game, you run a small bar that you are trying to turn into a success. In order to do that,…

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Nintendo Switch Review

I’ve been looking forward Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles coming to the Nintendo Switch ever since I played a demo of it on the Playstation 4. Adam Roffel was definitely a fan of the game. But does Yonder live up to my expectations on the Switch? Is this a game you should check out? Here is my review for Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles for the Nintendo Switch. Yonder’s story reminds me a lot of Breath of the Wild’s story.…

Get to the Fallout Shelter: A Preview of 60 Seconds for Nintendo Switch

Long ago, in a galaxy not so far away (the United States), people thought that the atomic bomb would drop on them at any second. So some of those people built fallout shelters. This is something that really happened. However, the bomb never dropped in the U.S. In the video game 60 Seconds for the Nintendo Switch though, the atomic bomb will hit in…you guessed it…60 Seconds. And so as the head of the household its your duty to grab…
