During Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, Square Enix announced a couple of surprise games. One of them was Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars.  Footage of the game was shown off for the first time and it was announced that a demo was coming out after the Direct. I’ve now played the entire demo and want to share my thoughts on it. Voice of Cards: The Dragon Roars is a video game that plays like a board game! You have cards…

During last night's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo showed off their brand new upcoming Kirby title called Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which appears to be using a similar engine to the one used to create Mario Odyssey. And from the footage, the game looks absolutely incredible, with a variety of worlds to explore, characters and enemies to interact with, and so much more! But does this announcement kill the rumored 3D Donkey Kong title folks have been batting about for the last few months? 

Today, Nintendo had an all-new Direct. And it…was AMAZING. I talk about what I liked so much about today’s Nintendo Direct below. Today was Nintendo Direct Day. I was prepared for disappointment. As it turned out…I was not disappointed (for the most part). Nintendo delivered the best Direct is a long time in my opinion. What was so great about it? Well, first of all: Nintendo announced not one but TWO additional videos to be premiere in October: The final…

The Nintendo Switch OLED releases on October 8, 2021 and will cost $349.99 (USD). The system will be just as powerful as the regular Switch but has a bigger screen in handheld mode. The resolution is higher on the screen too. The model is a greyish white compared to the standard consoles…

What can we say about Staxel. It seems to want to be Minecraft, but it isn't Minecraft. And it seems it wants to be Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley, but it isn't Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. So what is it? It's a mashup of some of my favourite genres - building and farming - that has me more excited than I've been in recent memory for an indie title! While there are hiccups along the way, there is so much that keeps me going!

Nintendo of America announced today that a Direct will air on 9/23! Wait! Thats tomorrow! There will be an all-new Nintendo Direct tomorrow (9/23) at 5:00pm central. On twitter, Nintendo of America said that the Direct will be “roughly 40 minutes of information focused mainly on #NintendoSwitch games launching this winter.” We know that Metroid Dread, Mario Party, Pokémon, Advance Wars, and Big Brain Academy are coming soon. So those games will get some spotlight time most likely. There are…

Astria Ascending will be coming to the Nintendo Switch eshop (and other places) on September 3oth! The game is a jrpg from some veterans of the Final Fantasy series! It is, unlike those games, set in 2D and features some platforming but the combat is a turn-based…

It’s past mid-September and history tells us that Nintendo likes to have Nintendo Direct presentations in this month to prepare fans for Q4 2021 and Q1 2022.

And surprise drops for games in October or December? Here are a few titles I hope Nintendo is working on!
