Mad Bullets

In “Light gun” games, you control the gun (or target) that you move to shoot at enemies and not your character. In the past, games like this came with physical prop guns that you shoot at the screen with. Now that motion controls are here, you can just move the joycon around to shoot at enemies. Mad Bullets is a “light gun” game for the Nintendo Switch. Is it a fun one though? Mad Bullets is unplayable. At least, that…

Super Mario Maker 2’s Addictive Story Mode

I just got Super Mario Maker 2 this week. Yeah, I’m running a little late. I’ve been making up for lost time though by playing this game a lot. The mode I’m playing the most? Super Mario Maker 2’s story mode! Super Mario Maker 2 takes everything that was great about the first game and adds to it, plus adds in online multiplayer and…a story mode?! I admit when I first heard there was going to be a story mode…

More Thoughts From #177: The Year of Dragon Quest

Every game has its “year” or at least it feels like it. I think Dragon Quest has had more than one year, surely, but this year is without a doubt feeling like Dragon Quest’s year. Why is that? Why should you care? Why do I care? What are my favorite games in the series? Why am I glad the series is still around? I’ll answer some of those questions in today’s More Thoughts! Not only is Dragon Quest Builders 2…

Paradox Soul is a very simplistic Metroidvania. Yes, like a lot of Metroidvania games you’ll find yourself backtracking a…

Fire Emblem: Three Houses will be out on July 26, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch! Nintendo has released a new video today spotlighting one of the three houses in the game. The combat in Fire Emblem: Three Houses looks really great. I’m not sure yet whether I’ll like the house aspect of the game. I have heard that there is some kind of big twist in the game though that should make things even more interesting then it initially seems.…

Super Mario Maker 2 Review

When Mario Maker originally launched on the Wii U, fans went wild for what ended up being one of the consoles best titles ever, not only because the game was so fantastic, but because it utilized the Wii U hand held controller so well. Without that controller, Nintendo was looking to strike gold for a second time with the launch of Super Mario Maker 2, but could it be as successful without that screened hand held controller? We took the…

More Thoughts From Me #176: Wake Up Link!

I played Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening when it first came out on the original Gameboy. I didn’t play the Gameboy Color version till years later on the Nintendo 3DS. I like both versions but I have to say, my hype for the upcoming remake is bigger than my nostalgia for the original game. Lets talk about Link’s Awakening for the Gameboy and why I think the remake will completely erase all memory of the original. Link’s Awakening for the…
