As we work towards the launch of Yoshi’s Crafted World, we continue our preview coverage by looking at something that has often plagued Yoshi titles in the past, whether fairly or unfairly. For the longest time, Yoshi titles have been pegged as ‘cutesy kids games’ by many in the gaming industry, and while that is often not true at all, it is still the label the game gets painted with. And sure, if I look back over the levels I’m…

The latest from HandyGames is a remastered version of their medieval city-builder; Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt. This title aims to completely overhaul the original with a port to PC. The original game existed as a freemium game for mobile devices, and as we know, there are many games who have attempted to leave mobile platforms for PC or console and have failed miserably. Will this wildly successful app make the transition to PC smoothly and manage to win over new fans? Let’s take a look!

Final Fantasy IX came to the Nintendo Switch and the Xbox One last month. You can check out my review of the Switch version here. I enjoyed it a lot. And if you are interested in the development of the FFIX, then you should check out Square Enix’s Inside Final Fantasy IX video below. I love Final Fantasy IX. It was such a treat to play it again and review it for GamesReviews.com. Final Fantasy 7 will be coming to…

I talk about the InkyPen Nintendo Switch app awhile back. Ever since then, I’ve been using the service and enjoying it a lot. Though I was disappointed that not many comics were being added. Then yesterday, the service received a big update. Let me tell you about it. InkyPen features a lot of cool comics, everything from Transformers to Star Trek to Hellboy, and it received some more comics yesterday. Along with even more Transformers, some Godzilla, and others, the…

I am a huge Castlevania fan. I love the NES ones, the SNES games, Symphony of the Night, and all the GBA and DS ones. And so when Konami announced last night that there would be an Anniversary Collection of Castlevania games released this year, well, I went nuts. There will also be an arcade collection and a Contra collection! Konami has announced that they will be releasing Arcade games, Castlevania, and Contra collections this year. They will be available…

Nintendo had an Indie (Nindie) showcase video today! You can check it out below and then please come back here for my thoughts on the showcase. I thought that the Nindies Showcase video was pretty good! Probably the best one in awhile (though its lack of Steamworld Quest was distrubing. Yes, I know it was in the last one but still). The showcase got off to a great start with the reveal that Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch!…

I was going to write about Final Fantasy 3 (DS) for this installment. And then I got World of Final Fantasy Maxima for the Nintendo Switch and I completely stopped playing FF3. I think I’ll get back to it eventually. Maybe. But for now, I decided to write about World of Final Fantasy Maxima instead of FF3. Mainly because I have a lot to say about this game. Wow, do I ever. So sit back, relax, and check out my…

In an age of early access games and update-driven releases, it is a rarity indeed to find a game that, upon release, truly feels like a finished product. Too often are developers pressured into pushing their games out too quickly, leading to outrage from the community and an overall poor experience. The lesson to be learned here is that quality cannot be rushed, and that developers need to remind gamers of this fact and not allow themselves to make compromises for an earlier release date. Ubisoft, for its part, has certainly known for its resistance to this ...
