Nintendo of Japan revealed a new short advertisement for Animal Crossing New Horizons on New Year’s Day. Today, that ad was translated  and released by Nintendo of America! Please take a look and come back for some thoughts on it. The Deserted Island Getaway Package Primer video is pretty short.That said, its very exciting to see Nintendo ramping up the hype for the game! And best of all: the official box art for the game is revealed at the end!…

Last week, I talked about the games I couldn’t wait to play in 2020. This week, I’m talking about my favorite games of 2019. That seems a bit out of order I know, but there was a game that I was getting for Christmas that I thought might be on this list! So I waited and sure enough, its on this list. Please check out my top 10 games of 2019. 2019 is almost over. After tomorrow, we’re headed into…

2019 is almost over and so of course we are all starting to think about the video games that are coming in 2020! What are you looking forward to? The following are the ten games I can’t wait to play next year! Since everyone will be able to guess what I’m looking forward to the most in 2020, especially if you’ve read this column before, I will be starting this list with #1. Here are the games I can’t wait…

The Farming Simulator genre has been around for a long while, and it should be noted right off the top – not everybody is going to enjoy farming simulation games. If you don’t have an appreciation for farming, or have an affinity for these types of games, you likely aren’t going to instantly love this. If you do love these things, Farming Simulator 20 is a good (not great) title on the Nintendo Switch. Whether plowing, cultivating, planting, fertilizing, or…

Welcome to More Thoughts From Me #200! Yes, I’ve written two hundred columns for Games Reviews. Actually more if you count the special editions! So for today’s column I asked people to send me questions and…only one person sent me a question. I will answer that question and then answer some questions you guys and gals didn’t ask. Here we goooo! Special thanks to Shaun Edwards! You should follow him on twitter. Shaun Edwards (@twinworld) asks, “Were there any games…

Surprise! Nintendo has announced a new Indie World video for tomorrow. We have the details below. 20 mintues for indie games?! What will be revealed by Nintendo in tomorrow’s Indie World video? The video will air at 12pm central time. Will you be tuning in? Don’t forget: there’s a State of Play from Playstation tomorrow too!…

I may have written about this topic before but its worth revisiting because my favorite games of “all-time” list changes every so often. For this list I am limiting myself to one game per franchise because, honestly, most of my list would be Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest if I didn’t do that. Both of those games will have a game on this list of course. And so off we go! Starting with 10. 10. Star Wars: Knights of the…

I’m not the President of Animal Crossing (though I wish I was) but I’m going to give a State of Animal Crossing address anyway. When is New Horizons coming out? Do I play that cellphone app? Am I still playing New Leaf? Are you still playing New Leaf? What’s next for Animal Crossing? My fellow Animal Crossing players! Ask not what Animal Crossing can do for you….ask what you can do for Animal Crossing! And thats all I have. Good…

I started playing Tomodachi Life, the Mii sim from the 3DS, again. I love the game’s wacky humor and neat things you can do. And I started to think: what if Nintendo did a sequel for the Nintendo Switch? What would Tomodachi Life be like on Switch? Here are some ideas from me! What do you get when you put together a bunch of Miis on an island? You may get something like Tomodoachi Life for the 3DS! For those…

Simulation titles, for the most part, are really hit and miss on their execution. Bus simulator and Airline simulator are two big misses for me, while Farming Simulator is probably one of the best in the genre. Construction simulator had a ton of potential to be outstanding, as it skews more towards farming simulator, as opposed to bus or airline simulator. And for the most part, I think Construction Simulator 2 hits more positives than negatives! The game begins pretty…
