I Am Setsuna, an rpg published by Square Enix, will be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch! We have more details below. I wrote about my excitement for I Am Setsuna recently and I’m happy to report that the title was announced as a Nintendo Switch launch title today. It will be available digitally at launch for North America and Europe. Here is how I am Setsuna is described: ““I AM SETSUNA follows the story of Setsuna, a young…

Bringing all of these older Dragon Quest games to the Nintendo 3DS is a brilliant idea, and I'm loving every minute of it. Although Dragon Quest 8 doesn't boast the obvious improvements we saw in Dragon Quest 7

This More Thoughts From Me is about Edutainment games. You can and should learn from video games. Its great to have a fun game that has  an entertaining story. We all want that escape from reality. Fun is important. But why can’t you, sometimes at least, have fun and learn something too? Most people seem to think of Edutainment as a genre for kids. Many of these games are, in fact, designed for little kids. Some, such as Brain Age,…

I had no idea what I Am Setsuna was and didn’t think I’d care. I saw the name listed in Nintendo’s recent 2017 Nintendo Switch lineup image on twitter. No video was shown of it during the Switch presentation nor during Treehouse Live. What was this game? I passed it over and didn’t think about it much. Then, I saw a Nintendo Enthusiast video that showed off a lot of games that are coming for the Switch this year. One…

Square Enix does a lot of rpgs for the 3DS, but its not often that we see them do rpgs for a Nintendo home console. Last night, it was announced that Dragon Quest 10 and 11 will hit the Switch in Japan. Also Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 was announced for the Switch. And finally, Square showed off a brand new rpg. The new rpg was the game that caught my attention. Yes, I do want Dragon Quest 11…

Thanks to an image Nintendo posted on twitter, we now know some of Nintendo Switch’s lineup for 2017. Please take a look at the following image and read my thoughts on the lineup. Right now, we know five games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch on launch day: Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, Super Bomberman R, Skylanders Imaginators and Just Dance. I can see Breath of the Wild and Skylanders selling well. I suppose Just Dance might do…

I had heard a rumor that Monolith Soft was working on a game for Nintendo Switch, but I was still not prepared for Xenoblade 2’s reveal. I enjoyed the previous Xenoblade games on Wii and Wii U, so it was a happy surprise. Xenoblade 2 is definitely one of my Anticipated titles for Nintendo Switch. When I saw the Monolith Soft logo at the beginning of a trailer last night, I thought I knew what we’d see, but I wasn’t…

Later this week (Thursday!), Nintendo will hold a press conference/presentation that tells us more about the Nintendo Switch. What will we find out about the new system? Here are my predictions for the Nintendo Switch Presentation on Thursday! The Nintendo Switch Presentation on Thursday is said to be about an hour. The current President of Nintendo will be one of the presentors, but he might not be the only one. We don’t know for sure what will be shown during…

Dragon Quest VIII is coming out next week for the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo released a brand new trailer for the game today. Check out the video and then please come back for my thoughts on the game!   Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King will be coming to the 3DS on January 20th. You can currently pre-load the game on the Nintendo eshop. Originally, Dragon Quest VIII was released on the PlayStation 2. Unlike Dragon Quest VII, Journey…

Welcome to the New Year! I'll have a bunch of More Thoughts From Me this year...starting with this one. This time I want to talk about the games I hope get announced this year. Some of the following is based on rumors I've heard and others are based on what I'd like to see! What will 2017 bring us? These are my hopes...
