When Nintendo announced that they would be adding Nintendo 64 games to their online catalogue alongside the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, folks were generally excited. When Nintendo announce there would be a hefty price increase to offset these additions, many were upset, and the debate around, "Is it worth it?" began.

Do you like exploring planets? Crafting things? Finding your own way in a game? If discovery and crafting is your bread and butter, then you may want to check out Astroneer for Nintendo Switch! Here is our review! Astroneer is a game where you play as an astronaut who goes to a planet to see what can be discovered.

Shadow Man Remastered brings back a cult classic – successfully reviving a game that fans have been demanding gets new life for years. I hope they’re happy with what they wished for. In some preliminary research for this game, I took a quick look at some of the original reviews, and was blown away by what I saw. I remember the case, of course. It looked cool and edgy, not unlike the Blade film I’d been too young to watch.…

And if you want to visit the school, you can try out the demo for Kraken Academy right now on the Nintendo Switch. I did and I live to tell the tale.

Fly through people’s deepest desires as a bird. And, no, Aery – Dreamscape isn’t an adult game. Because it turns out everybody’s deepest desires are things like “be a pirate”, “visit the moon” or “get out in nature”. Not a single level begins with the phrase “hey, you know that girl from Friends?” Maybe that would have been a better game – its not for me to judge – but it would have been a different game. This one is…
