Its E3 weeeek! Well E3 technically starts later this week but its sooon. And so begins my final craZy E3 predictions column. In this one I talk about Microsoft and third party developers like Square Enix. What will they show?! E3 week is here! Though it officially starts on Saturday, there will be announcements throughout the week. You can bet on it. And Summer Game Fest is on Thursday! Whew. But before everything gets too crazy, lets get craZy and…

We still have a few weeks to go but I figured, hey, why not start my crazy E3 predictions!? Today I’ll throw out some never-will-this-happen Nintendo E3 predictions, next week will be Sony, and right before E3 I’ll talk about Microsoft and third parties. Let’s a goooooo! Nintendo has not officially announced their E3 plans yet (unless they do and I have to rewrite this). So I am going to guess their plans… On the Thursday or Friday before E3…

Last night, Square Enix had a Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary stream. I watched it on youtube and I was blown away, especially by one of the surprise announcements! I can’t stop thinking about it. And so now its time to talk about all the games that were shown off last night. It is the Dragon Quest series 35th anniversary this year and Square Enix celebrated it in style last night. They held a special stream on youtube that talked about…

Miitopia was, and technically still is, on the Nintendo 3DS. We reviewed it on that system, plus you can find review-in-progress articles here. But what do we think of the Switch version? Is it the game worth picking up again or for the first time on Switch? Here is our review of Miitopia on the Nintendo Switch!

Miitopia started its life as a 3DS game. We reviewed that and liked it a lot. We also really enjoyed the Nintendo Switch demo! Now the full Miitopia game is out for the Switch and we have received a review copy of that version too. How is it so far? Is it really different from the 3DS one? For those who don’t know what Miitopia is, here is what I said in my review of the 3DS version: “An evil…

We previously looked at Jin Conception, an rpg thats inspired by Chrono Trigger. And now its time to review it. Is Jin Conception for the Nintendo Switch worth checking out? Let’s find out! Jin Conception is, on the surface, a good game. Graphically, it looks better than its inspiration, Chrono Trigger, and the battle system is just as good as that tried and true classic. However, Jin Conception does not have a good story. One of the many things that…

Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite jrpgs. And I know I’m not the only one who loves that game. Many fans and games developers do too. We’ve seen other games, such as Cosmic Star Heroine, that took influence from Chrono Trigger. The latest to do so is Jin Conception for the Nintendo Switch. Here is our preview of the game. Jin Conception, out now for the Nintendo Switch, is an rpg that takes lots of inspiration from Square’s classic…

Last year there was no E3. It wasn’t a great year for games. This year so far has been better but developers are still struggling a bit. And E3 is returning. I want to talk about E3 and why gamers shouldn’t set their expectations too high. E3 is returning this year. It will be an all virtual event though, so there will be no show floor for press, developers, and celebrities’ to attend. Most of the big publishers will be…
