Bringing all of these older Dragon Quest games to the Nintendo 3DS is a brilliant idea, and I'm loving every minute of it. Although Dragon Quest 8 doesn't boast the obvious improvements we saw in Dragon Quest 7

Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World will be coming out on the 3DS in February. However, Nintendo gave us a surprise today! A demo for the 3DS eshop was release today. Here are my thoughts on the demo. Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World looks amazing on the 3DS. From the moment I started playing the demo for the game, my jaw was on the floor. The animation and gameplay looked and played just as good as it did on the Wii…

When the Switch was first revealed, Nintendo acted like the Wii U was here to stay and the Switch would not effect the system at all. But at the end of last year, we saw production of the Wii U end and then Nintendo started to talking about the Wii U less and less. Recently, they have been talking about the system as a failure and selling the Switch version of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild over the…

When Nintendo announced that there would be a Direct this week for Fire Emblem, I tried not to set my hopes too high. It was very likely that only Fire Emblem Warriors and maybe that Fire Emblem mobile game would be shown. This week, we found out the mobile title would indeed be shown. I was still trying my hardest not to get excited about today’s direct, however I was secretly hoping that we’d get a new 3DS game. As…

Last week, we found out that Nintendo would be holding a Fire Emblem Direct. It was thought then that Nintendo would only be showing off the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors for the Switch. Now we know that more than one title will be shown during the Direct. In fact, we know about one other “game” that will be shown during the Direct. Find out about that below. I will also offer some speculation as to what else might be shown.…

This More Thoughts From Me is about Edutainment games. You can and should learn from video games. Its great to have a fun game that has  an entertaining story. We all want that escape from reality. Fun is important. But why can’t you, sometimes at least, have fun and learn something too? Most people seem to think of Edutainment as a genre for kids. Many of these games are, in fact, designed for little kids. Some, such as Brain Age,…

I had no idea what I Am Setsuna was and didn’t think I’d care. I saw the name listed in Nintendo’s recent 2017 Nintendo Switch lineup image on twitter. No video was shown of it during the Switch presentation nor during Treehouse Live. What was this game? I passed it over and didn’t think about it much. Then, I saw a Nintendo Enthusiast video that showed off a lot of games that are coming for the Switch this year. One…

One of the games I keep forgetting to mention from last nights presentation is Fire Emblem Warriors. Not much was shown of the game and we know nothing about it expect for the title. That will change next week when Nintendo holds a Direct for the game. On January 18th (next Wednesday), Nintendo will have a Direct for Fire Emblem Warriors. They are calling it a Fire Emblem Direct. Fire Emblem Warriors is most likely an action game much like…

Square Enix does a lot of rpgs for the 3DS, but its not often that we see them do rpgs for a Nintendo home console. Last night, it was announced that Dragon Quest 10 and 11 will hit the Switch in Japan. Also Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 was announced for the Switch. And finally, Square showed off a brand new rpg. The new rpg was the game that caught my attention. Yes, I do want Dragon Quest 11…

Thanks to an image Nintendo posted on twitter, we now know some of Nintendo Switch’s lineup for 2017. Please take a look at the following image and read my thoughts on the lineup. Right now, we know five games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch on launch day: Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, Super Bomberman R, Skylanders Imaginators and Just Dance. I can see Breath of the Wild and Skylanders selling well. I suppose Just Dance might do…
