Last week, I was going to write about third party games. Instead, I wrote about the Adventure games coming to the Switch. This week…well, I have to admit I’m starting to wonder if the Switch even needs third party games! Don’t get wrong: it would be very nice to see more third party games come to the Switch, however, have you seen how many games came out for the system last week? And this week? Plus we have Super Mario…

The Nintendo Switch has a lot of different types of games already, but one of the biggest genres that hasn’t appeared on the system yet is the life simulation genre. There are no Animal Crossings or Harvest Moons on the system (yet). However, this Thursday, Stardew Valley will appear on the Switch’s eshop to fill the farming life simulation void in your Switch sized heart. Check out the details below. Stardew Valley will release for the Nintendo Switch this Thursday,…

When I played The Golf Club a few years back, I saw a lot of promise marred by some inconsistencies and lack of content that ultimately made that experience short lived. I was skeptical when I heard The Golf Club 2 was being released, but wanted to see if the developers had learned from past mistakes. The short answer is yes, and The Golf Club 2 proves to be a fairly deep and accurate golfing experience.

Nintendo UK released a new trailer for Miitopia for 3DS. The trailer shows how you can move all your Tomodachi Life Miis over to Miitopia. I loved Tomodachi Life. I still play it once and awhile. So I was definitely interested in Miitopia from the start. And then I played the demo, my interest level went up even more! The new trailer from Nintendo UK is really good. I love how they use Mii News to introduce the connection between…

Yesterday, Nintendo released a demo for their upcoming 3DS game Miitopia via the eshop. I have had a chance to play the demo and complete it! Here are my hands on impressions of Miitopia. I beat the Miitopia demo. It took me a little bit over three hours. That is a lot of play time for a demo! And I loved every second of it. I can’t wait to play it again. Let me tell you about the demo. Miitopia…

Treehouse Live showed off Miitopia for 3DS today. We have video of that and my impressions of it! Please check out both. If you like Tomodachi Life for the 3DS, then you may very well like Miitopia. Where as Tomodachi Life was a straight simulation game, Miitopia is more of an role playing game. There is a specific quest in this game, an rpg battle system, and all the usual trappings of role playing games. There is still some simulation…

If Harvest Moon and a cute 2D tower defense game had a love child, it might look like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS eshops. Build a garden, add animals, and defend that garden like crazy from outside threats! Plantera sounds like it might be a good game for simulation and tower defense fans…but is it? The Wii U and 3DS versions of Plantera have some differences but the basic gameplay is the same between the two versions. Let’s…

I love simulation games. I could go on for hours and hours about Animal Crossing New Leaf for the 3DS. I’m not as big a fan of tower defense style games, but I’ve played a few good ones. What do you get when you combine a garden sim game with a 2D style tower defense game? It may be something like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS. I just got review codes of both the 3DS and Wii U…
