Platformer

Cooperative gaming has gone by the wayside on almost every console except the Nintendo Switch, and thanks to great indie developers like Massive Monster, these couch experience is being kept alive. Recently, we had the chance to play through Adventure Pals, a fun and humorous title that plays incredibly well whether you are alone or with a friend. Either way, it's a great experience, and a platformer that NEEDS to be played!

Super Daryl Deluxe is unlike…

Nintendo of America had an Indie (Nindie) showcase today. You can check that video out below and then please come back for my impressions of it. Today’s Nindie Showcase was not very good. There were no major surprises like Fornite or even a release date for Wargroove. None of the previously mentioned indie games from other showcases were mentioned at all. The video was also very short. Now, I’m not saying that there were no interesting games at all in…

Celeste for the Nintendo Switch fits into that second catogory. Its a hard game. Its also a very…

Like Mario and Zelda, Kirby is another of the Nintendo franchises that has refused to quit over the past 25 years, and for good reason: despite the 'easy' nature of these games, they continue to appeal to the broader Nintendo fan base, taking the world of platform video games and delivering it to a wider, more accessible audience. Like the Kirby games before it, Star Allies continues the trend of mixing easy gameplay with charming visuals and audio. Does the package work when stuck together? Despite the easy nature of the experience, we think so!

If you didn’t, check it out below and come back for my thoughts on what was shown. Today’s Nintendo Direct is the best one we’ve had for awhile. I was amazed by so many of the things we’ve saw.

The Scribblenauts franchise has never been super popular but it has always  been unique and interesting. One of my favorites was the Scribblenauts DC Universe game for the Wii U. Things haven’t looked great for the franchise and I doubted we see another game. And so it was a surprise when Scriblenauts Showdown was announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game is out now and I received a review copy of the game! My review isn’t ready yet, but I…
