In part 1 of my Metroid: Samus Returns review-in-progress, I told you about how the game was a modern remake for the Gameboy classic Return of Samus. We found out about some of the game’s new features and how I felt about them. Today, I’ve played a bit more of the game since that article and will tell you how the game continues to stack up against older Metroids. I’ll also take a look at the game’s graphics! Metroid: Samus…

Project Octopath Traveler Demo Impressions
One of the biggest surprises of the recent Nintendo Direct was the announcement of a demo of Project Octopath Traveler for Nintendo Switch. I was surprised, in the first place, that Nintendo and Square were showing off the game. I thought Octopath was a long way off and might not be shown off too much yet. So to get footage and a demo on the same day was a shock and delight. I have to admit I’ve been pretty excited…
Read MoreThe Wonderful graphics of Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition
Yesterday, I talked about Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition’s gameplay. Today, I want to tell you about the game’s graphics. The first thing I noticed about Rayman Legends, of course, was its graphics. This game looks amazing on both the TV and on the Switch’s screen! Rayman Legends looked great on the Wii U but I think the game looks even better on the Nintendo Switch. Without a doubt, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition absolutely pops on the TV in HD and…

I remember playing Metroid: Return of Samus on the Gameboy. I really liked it. My dad liked it too. He got pretty far into the game in fact. Fast forward to 2017. Metroid: Samus Returns is announced and we freak out. We love the franchise and a Return of Samus remake is a very cool thing indeed. Here are my impressions of the game so far!

Read MoreChicken Wiggle is on sale! Now is the time to buy it for 3DS
I gave Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS a 10 out of 10 in my review. I do not give out 10s lightly. In fact, the only other game I can remember giving a 10 (ever) was Paper Mario: Color Splash. Chicken Wiggle is really that good! And now is the time to buy it if you haven’t. Chicken Wiggle is now on sale via the 3DS eshop! The sale started today (9-14) and will run through September 28. The game’s…
Read MoreNintendo Direct: Third Party Support Strong, Nintendo Publisher of the Year?
Yesterday's Nintendo Direct was incredible, with 45 minutes of non-stop announcements, reveals, and details on all our favorite announced - and previously unannounced - titles coming to the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Nintendo has to be in line for Publisher of the Year for all that they have accomplished in 2017, leaving the Wii U and the criticisms that surrounded the company during that time way in the past. With strong 3rd party support on the horizon, and tons of great titles left for 2017, it's obvious to me that Nintendo ...

There was a Nintendo Direct today! If you missed it, please check out the video below and then please come back for my impressions on it. I have a split opinion about today’s Nintendo Direct. I thought that the 3DS lineup was ok, meanwhile the Switch’s lineup was awesome. I’ll talk about the 3DS lineup first. The first game to be shown off in today’s Nintendo Direct was the upcoming Pokémon games. As you may know, I’m not a fan…
Read MoreA Ray of Sunshine: A Look At Rayman Legends Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch
When Adam Roffel asked if I had any interest in Rayman Legends for Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! I had played the Rayman Legends demo on the Switch and loved it. I had played the demo on Wii U and loved it. But I had never played the full game because some other games were always coming up and distracting me from Rayman Legends. Boy was I missing out! I really loved the Rayman Legends Definitive Edition…
