When you think about the lifespans of a console, there are only a few things you are ever guaranteed. If we go back console generations, we know that 3D Mario games are generally a once-per-generation experience. We had Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64, Super Mario Sunshine on Nintendo GameCube, two Super Mario Galaxy games on Wii, and a Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo Switch. With Donkey Kong Bananza getting wonderful scores – including a 10/10 from us – how…

A few months ago, Stonemaier Games reached out to us and let us know we could purchase anything on their store up to $75 USD to take a look at, so we took advantage of that and purchased…coins. We have had the immense pleasure of reviewing every single Stonemaier Game ever released, and so when we were provided this opportunity, we went hard down the well of metal coins, getting coins for all sorts of games like Scythe and Expeditions,…

As of tomorrow, we are exactly 30 days away from upcoming sailing on Disney Cruise Line, and we could not be more excited. While we are always excited for the food – my wife is looking forward to Mexican Hotpockets and Empanadas – there are a number of entertainment options on Disney Cruise Line that go above plain music. As a longtime video game fan – and obviously we are a video game heavy site – the entertainment aboard Disney…

With the launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A this October, Nintendo has announced a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 bundle just in time for the holidays. While the console itself isn’t anything special, like with the Mario Kart World bundle, it provides those entering the Nintendo Switch 2 ecosystem a great way to get a system and a game at a much more affordable choice. I know that having multiple console bundles is probably a nightmare for both Nintendo and retailers,…

I really do enjoy a simulation / tycoon style game, so when it was announced that Wandering Village would migrate off of steam and release on the Nintendo Switch, I was pretty excited. Disappointingly, I do wish that the game supported Nintendo’s mouse controls on Nintendo Switch 2, but I’m happy to say that regardless of this, the game does control pretty well. Overall, my first few hours with The Wandering Village have been very positive. There is definitely a…

It is inevitable that Nintendo will release an Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo Switch 2, and based on the popularity of the original – which MAY have been inflated by COVID – I expect a new game to be even bigger, and even better. Even if the number of people who played on Nintendo Switch was inflated by the pandemic, Nintendo needs to cash in on that desire for a similar experience now, not later. Releasing Animal Crossing early…

Sucker Punch is finally giving us a deeper look at their next big open-world adventure during a special State of Play this Thursday, July 10—and honestly, we couldn’t be more excited. Set in the wild, snow-covered reaches of northern Japan, Ghost of Yōtei introduces us to Atsu, a warrior on a mission for vengeance. While Sucker Punch has kept most of her story under…

We have played and reviewed a ton of Western Legends content so far, including the base game, the Blood Money expansion, and the Ante Up expansion. But there is so much more you can pick up for the game, some of which we have to talk about today, and others we still haven’t tried! But what do we recommend picking up, and which should you pass on? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, if Western Legends is one of…
