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…

When it was announced that Red Faction: Guerilla Re-Mars-tered was coming to Nintendo Switch, I was skeptical that it could be handled well, but was intrigued by having such an amazing open world to explore. When I finally got to take it for a spin, there were definite issues that I fully expected to encounter, but overall, I really enjoyed the experience! For more details on the gameplay and story, read our original Re-Mars-tered review here. Here is what we…

Another day, another Metroidvania. There are so many games in this genre on the Nintendo Switch, that is can be difficult to pick the good ones from the bad ones. Not all Metroidvanias are created equal. Paradox Soul, a Metroidvania for the Switch, recently came out. Is it a good Metroidvania, an ok one, or should you be avoiding this paradox? 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.…

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…

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…

When it comes to kart racing games, Mario Kart has been on top since the beginning, and while others have made valiant attempts at gaining ground and potentially taking over the franchise juggernaut, they always fall short in a few specific ways, creating a good, but not a great, racing experience. For once, the tables might have turned, as Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled (Crash Team Racing from here on out) is easily the best Crash Team Racing title ever released, and rivals Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in many ways! Let's dive in!
