I love strategy rpgs. My favorite of this genre is still Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation 1, though I am a huge fan of the recent entries in the Fire Emblem series. So when an indie developer brings a strategy rpg to the 3DS, I’m always interested. Legna Tactica is currently available on the 3DS eshop. I recently received a review copy of the game and I’ve been playing it a lot. My review isn’t ready yet, but I…

Kecmo has brought a lot of rpgs to the Wii U and 3DS eshop. All of these games have been turn based rpgs though. Legna Tactica, just released today for the 3DS eshop, is a bit different though. Legna is a strategy rpg! I love strategy rpgs. I may even love strategy rpgs as much as I love turn-based rpgs. The jury is still out on that one. What I can tell you is that I really love how Legna…

As we near the end of the Wii U's life, we would hope that any Indie games still coming to eshop would be good. Star Splash: Shattered Star is a brand new game for the Wii U. Is this game any good or is it a Wii U game to avoid?

Lifespeed is a New 3DS exclusive racing game and it just arrived on the 3DS eshop today. I have been playing the game for review, but my review is not ready yet. I thought that I would provide some early thoughts on the game though. Please check out my preview of Lifespeed for the New 3DS! Its not often that a racing game has a story and when it does, the story is usually something rather simple. Instead of going…

There are very few exclusive New Nintendo 3DS games, but soon, we’ll be able to add another one to the list. Lifespeed is a “futuristic flying racer” according to its developer Wee Man Studios and will be playable only on the New 3DS. Please take a look at the trailer below and stick around for more details on the game & my thoughts on it.   Here’s some information about the game (via the developers website): “One thousand years ago…

Indie developers have bought a lot games to the Wii U (and some to the Wii also). And it looks like that won’t change with Nintendo Switch. Tomorrow Corporation, who has two of the games on Wii U and one on Wii, will be bringing those games to the Switch. We have the details below. World of Goo was a puzzle game for the Wii. It was an absolute standout game for Wiiware. This was at a time when not …

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,…

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…

Last night, Nintendo streamed the Switch Presentation. And then this morning, Nintendo started streaming Treehouse Live. As I write this, the Treehouse Live is still streaming! For this special More Thoughts From Me, I will cover last nights presentation and what I’ve seen so far of Treehouse Live. I will write another More Thoughts in the future about any additional cool content. So what do I think of the Nintendo Switch so far? Well.. I’m not preordering the Nintendo Switch.…

In Shift DX for the 3DS, you manipulate an environment to solve each level. Turn the level upside down, grab a key to move things that are blocking your way or seek out the light bulb to make other things disappear.
