Miitopia started life as a Mii-focused rpg on the 3DS. And now is coming to the Nintendo Switch! Today, Nintendo announced and released a demo for the Switch version. I have played the demo some and here are my first impressions of it. On the 3DS, I was a huge fan of Tomodachi Life. However, I just thought Miitopia was okay. I never really got into it a lot. So I admit when it was announced that the game was…

The Nintendo Switch Lite is about to get a brand new color soon: blue! The new version of the Lite will come out on May 21st, the same day as Miitopia for the Switch. I really like the look of this new color. Personally I think its the best color yet. It looks much better than the teal Switch Lite for sure. Maybe better than the yellow or red one too. At $199, the Switch Lite is a great option…

Another column, another PS Now game. This time I want to talk about Tales of Zestiria. In another column, I talked about a previous Tales of game called Tales of Vesperia which I enjoyed. What do I think of Tales of Zestiria? I think I like Tales of Zestiria more than Tales of Vesperia. Look, both of these games are good but so far Tales of Zestiria really has me hooked more than Vesperia. So whats so different about this…

Black Legend is a dark, very adult strategy rpg for the Nintendo Switch. Is this another game that strategy rpg fans should check out? Here is our review of Black Legend! Black Legend has you exploring and fighting in a cursed medieval town. The story is interesting but the gameplay is really Black Legend’s focus. The game is a turn-based strategy rpg that looks more like a PC Diablo than something like Final Fantasy Tactics. It is very dark and…

Earthbound. Undertale. Other rpgs I don’t recall. What do they have in common? They are rpgs that don’t take themselves too seriously. They have the rpg battle systems and lots of humor and weirdness. In April, Don’t Give Up: A Cynical Tale come to the Nintendo Switch and adds another game to the comedic rpg genre.

This week we got rumors that the PS3/PSP/Vita digital stores will be shutting down this year. Usually I do not report or even talk about rumors. That said, the closing of those shops will happen sooner or later! What do I think of digital stores closing? Let’s dig into it. Its always tough when digital store fronts close down. We all know why this happens: digital stores take up server space for companies. They cost money to keep up and…

We checked out Bravely Default 2 for the Nintendo Switch with our review-in-progress. And now we are ready to pass final judgement on the game! Will this be another classic Square Enix JRPG? Bravely Default 2 is a throwback to older JRPGs. This series is what the Final Fantasy series use to be: turn-based gameplay with four heroes off on a journey to find crystals. This story might seem simplistic but the game features very good writing with wonderful dialogue…

KEMCO has released a lot of jrpgs for the Nintendo Switch. The newest one is called Ruinverse. It a traditional turn-based jrpg. Is it worth checking out? Let’s take a look! The battle system is very traditional, although it does have some neat combo attacks thrown in. If you are a fan of SNES jrpgs, than you might fine Ruinverse’s gameplay, especially its battle system, interesting. Its story, however, is pretty odd. I think it takes a lot of inspiration…
