Mario & Sonic have visited a number of historic cities over the past decade in order to participate in the Olympic Games, and for the most part, the games are exactly what you would expect them to be: a collection of sports themed mini games that are more fun with friends than they are alone. And for the most part, Tokyo 2020 is the same as in years past, but with new events and a short story mode! Bringing New…

The Stretchers – Launch Trailer
A new Nintendo published game called The Stretchers was released for the Nintendo Switch eshop today! What is this game about? Well, check out the goofy launch trailer for the game and then come back for some thoughts on it. The Stretchers is a co-op ambulance rescue game. It looks like a goofier Fornite graphics wise. The gameplay reminds me of…well, I’m not sure what it reminds me of! If you’ve ever had any dealings with real ambulances, which I…
Read MoreNew Super Lucky’s Tale Demo Impressions
A demo for New Super Lucky’s Tale was released on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eshop today. It is not available in North America yet. I have a Japanese eshop account so I decided to check out the demo. How is New Super Lucky’s Tale? Ever since E3 this year, I’ve had my eye on New Super Lucky’s Tale for Nintendo Switch! All of the previews I’ve seen for the game have looked great. I’ve been dying to check out the…
Read MoreNintendo Switch Lite Review
A few months ago, Nintendo invited us to Toronto, Ontario to experience the Nintendo Switch Lite for the very first time. While our time with the device then was pretty short – we had about an hour or so to play a few upcoming Nintendo Switch titles – we did get to pump out a few early impressions, which I’ve copied below. Who’s Buying the Nintendo Switch Lite? Our first take from that preview was, “Who is buying a Nintendo…
Read MorePowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller
The wireless Pro Controller from Nintendo is one of the best controllers available on the market, not only for the Nintendo Switch, but across all current generation systems. With the HD rumble and gyro controls, there really isn’t a controller like it. Unfortunately, all of that functionality comes with a heavy price tag, to a resounding 89.99 CAD in Canada. While not releasing a cheaper alternative, Nintendo has partnered with PowerA to release a set of Enhanced Wireless controllers, with…
Read MoreConstruction Simulator 2 Review
Simulation titles, for the most part, are really hit and miss on their execution. Bus simulator and Airline simulator are two big misses for me, while Farming Simulator is probably one of the best in the genre. Construction simulator had a ton of potential to be outstanding, as it skews more towards farming simulator, as opposed to bus or airline simulator. And for the most part, I think Construction Simulator 2 hits more positives than negatives! The game begins pretty…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #194: Luigi Saves the Day
Luigi doesn’t get enough credit as a hero. His big bro Mario is always stealing the spotlight. Thats not so in Luigi’s Mansion 3 where Mario, Peach, and three Toads are kidnapped and Luigi grabs hold of the spotlight. This is 100% Luigi’s game and its a complete blast. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch. Let me tell you why this game is a must own for your collection! Luigi’s Mansion 3 is…

Read MoreForager Review
My initial thoughts of Forager were mixed, and that was before I ever got my hands on it. It looked interesting, but at the same time, it looked…basic. But when my Nintendo Switch review version came in the mail, and I had to review it, I realized that you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, or say, a game by its trailer. So what is Forager? Simply put, it’s a pixelated version of any survival / farming simulation…
Read MoreNintendo Switch Online – One Year Later
It’s been just over a year since the Nintendo Switch Online service launched, and thanks to our friends at Nintendo of Canada, we have been gifted a second year of the service, free of charge. While a fantastic gesture from Nintendo, I would be lying if I didn’t say my Nintendo Switch Online subscription would have auto-renewed in December, and I would have been A-OK with that. For the price, this really is a promising service. While it’s not all…
