Papetura: Demo Review

Papetura is a unique puzzle game that looks as if it’s made entirely of paper.  The demo opens to find the main character inside some sort of cocoon, where he proceeds to hide in fear when a shadowy figure appears at the entrance.  While this game, at first glance, is rather intriguing, the demo does…

Nintendo Switch Online Has Gotten Good, But it Needs to be Great

I’ve found it easy over the years to rag on Nintendo for the stunning lack of quality of its online services. Nintendo just struggles when it comes to internet functionality, and they’re certainly still lagging behind their competitors even now. Still though, they’ve made progress, and that should be noted too. I don’t know if…

Top 5: Games I’d Like to See Ported to the Nintendo Switch

I joined with many a raised eyebrow over Rockstar’s recent announcement concerning Red Dead Redemption. Rumors swirled over hopes that they’d be releasing a current-gen version of the game; but, in fact, the world will be seeing only ports of the game to the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. I’m not one to grumble…

Starfield’s Pre-Load Date Has Emerged

No need for any preamble with this one, I think. Starfield will be ready for pre-load on August 9th. …It’s not out until September 6, but at least you can (almost) have it a month in advance.

Pikmin 4 and the Art of Dandori

Growing up, the original Pikmin was an absolute must-have for me and one of the driving factors behind my strong need to get a brand new GameCube as soon as I could save up the necessary allowance.  The ability to command an army of ant-sized Pikmin to do my bidding just seemed too unique to…

Imp of the Sun: Demo Review

Imp of the Sun is a Metroidvania that takes place in a world inspired by Peru.  You play as a fiery imp named Nin whose goal is to defeat the Four Keepers and end the Eternal Eclipse.  We begin the demo high up in the mountains with the eclipse in clear view behind us.  I…

Demon’s Tilt: Finally a Proper Pinball Simulator

Okay, so I’m actually really late to the party on this one. Demon’s Tilt came out all the way back in 2018, and I only just recently found out about it. I’m a little disappointed that it took this long for it to get on my radar, but hey that just means I get to…

Top 5: Favorite Arrow Fuse Items in Tears of the Kingdom

When I started playing Tears of the Kingdom, I felt certain that I was not going to get along with using Link’s bow and arrow in any real capacity. Between fighting with the Switch’s motion sensors and just being bad at aiming generally, I figured I’d get along fine just mashing and smashing away with…
