Nintendo of America had an Indie (Nindie) showcase today. You can check that video out below and then please come back for my impressions of it. Today’s Nindie Showcase was not very good. There were no major surprises like Fornite or even a release date for Wargroove. None of the previously mentioned indie games from other showcases were mentioned at all. The video was also very short. Now, I’m not saying that there were no interesting games at all in…

I’m always on the look out for a new Adventure game for the Nintendo Switch. I loved Thimbleweed Park and Old Man’s Journey and Oxenfree were great too. And this week another adventure game joins the Nintendo eshop. The game is called Last Day of June! We have a trailer and more information about the game below. Last Day of June is an adventure/puzzle/rpg from 505 Games (Portal Knights) and Ovosonico. The game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch…

The following game is not 36 Fragments of Midnight, even though it does look like that game. Instead, Midnight Deluxe is like a game of golf. You must hit an object into a hole. Sounds simple right? Well, this game gets harder as you go. Is Midnight Deluxe a good game or not? Read my review to find out! Midnight Deluxe has no story or setup. Instead, the player is thrown into a series of environments where they play an…

The Scribblenauts franchise has never been super popular but it has always  been unique and interesting. One of my favorites was the Scribblenauts DC Universe game for the Wii U. Things haven’t looked great for the franchise and I doubted we see another game. And so it was a surprise when Scriblenauts Showdown was announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game is out now and I received a review copy of the game! My review isn’t ready yet, but I…

Nintendo announced today that there will be a Direct tomorrow. Read on below for more information and my thoughts on the Nintendo Direct. Nintendo has announced a Direct for March 8, 2018. Hey that’s tomorrow! The Nintendo Direct will cover 3DS and Nintendo Switch games. New details of Mario Tennis will be revealed for sure. Kirby Star Allies is coming out this month for the Switch and will most likely be shown in this Direct. Detective Pikachu is coming out…

Two robots walk into a bar…ok, no bar, but two robots do walk into a sticky situation. One robot is trapped under glass, with a crusher headed his way, and the other is on the otherside and has to get to a big red button to stop the crusher. After the robot under glass is free, the two robots must make it to the end of the level. The game I’m describing is called Twin Robots: Ultimate Edition and its…

I wrote about Mulaka previously. I like this game a lot. Do I recommend that you download this game right after reading this review? Read on to find out my final thoughts about Mulaka. Mulaka’s setting and characters are really interesting and different from what we’ve seen from other games on the Nintendo Switch eshop so far. But does all this make for a good story? I’d say the story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and the dialogue usually…

When I first saw Mulaka for the Nintendo Switch, I was impressed by its graphics right away. This game, of course, is not the first game for Nintendo Switch to be 3D and Polygonal. Morphite was the first game that I played on the Switch with such graphics. However Mulaka is doing something different from Morphite or any other game I’ve seen with this type of art style. Mulaka is colorful and infused with a very unique and stunning premise.…

When I first saw Old Man’s Journey for the Nintendo Switch, I assumed it was an Adventure game. And while Old Man’s Journey does have a little bit of Adventure, it is most definitly a puzzle game at heart. It is also unlike anything else currently on the Nintendo Switch. Is that a good thing? Will you want to check out Old Man’s Journey? I love Old Man’s Journey’s story. There is no dialogue whatsoever in this game. I’m a…

I am a huge point and click Adventure game fan. When I got a review copy of the latest point and click game for the Nintendo Switch, The Darkside Detective, I was really excited. This game looked really good. So is it? The Darkside Detective, much like King’s Quest and Space Quest from the PC era, does not take itself seriously. There are so many jokes in this game. Some of the dialogue in this game is funny and some…
