While E3 isn’t quite over yet, all of the major press conferences have come and gone, including the after shows like Nintendo Treehouse and Inside Xbox. You’re unlikely to see anymore major announcements from publishers. At the very least, I’ve seen all that I need to see, and while a good chunk of what I hoped to…
E3 2019 is only a week away and there’s plenty to be excited about going into this years show. Sure, Sony won’t be attending this year, but we’ve still got everyone else and even Square Enix is getting in on the fun with an actual conference. Now, I’m not here to make predictions for once. This article is entirely…
(There will be spoilers. You have been warned.)
Yesterday, Wall Street Journal Japan came out saying that sources inside Nintendo claimed the console maker has not one, but two Switch revisions in development, both to revealed sometime around E3, and released mere months later. One is intended to be a budget model, while the other is meant to be an enthusiast…
Over four years ago, Microsoft and 343 Industries, the current custodians of the Halo franchise, announced and released Halo: The Master Chief Collection. This collection contained the four numbered entries of the Halo series, including the Anniversary editions of Halo 1 & 2. There was also a functioning online…
When the Nintendo Switch was first revealed as a home console-handheld hybrid device, it was inevitable that Pokemon would make the jump from the 3DS to the Nintendo Switch. Many expected this game to release in 2018, but instead we got spin-off titles while the core titles were given extra time. Speculation was…
We’re almost a month and a half into 2019 and we have yet to have a proper Nintendo Direct for 2019 to show us what we should be looking forward to this year for Nintendo Switch(Sorry 3DS, you’re pretty much done.). It’s not that we don’t know a few of the games slated for release in 2019, but their release dates are…
I’m a fan of visual novel developer Key’s works, both in their original and animated forms. They’re beautiful romance stories filled with life and laughter. The emotions begin to hit you not too long into the stories, but both Kanon and Clannad, the two I’m familiar with, are longer form stories so there’s plenty of…
Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series and the current director of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, is known for longer than normal development cycles. Before work on Kingdom Hearts III began, Nomura was the director of another project at Square Enix, the long delayed Final Fantasy Versus XIII which…
Sometimes, games are great when everything is set in stone and laid out before you. And sometimes, games are even greater when they let you define how you relate to other characters in the game. When I first played Fire Emblem Awakening I was immediately sucked in by the support system, not just for the bonuses in…
So, full disclosure, I’ve never played a Resident Evil game before, not unless the demo of Resident Evil 6 counts. Though depending on who you ask, RE6 isn’t a true Resident Evil game anyway. Despite being born in 1996 and owning a Sony PlayStation, playing demos of games like MediEvil, Metal Gear Solid, and Tomb…
Over the past two years, even before the Nintendo Switch was announced, there were rumblings of a SKU that was more powerful than what we ended up getting at launch. These rumors have persisted throughout the last two years with many claiming that “inside sources” have confirmed the existence of a newer Nintendo…
I went to go see Dragon Ball Super: Broly when it first hit theaters in the US this past Wednesday, and it’s one of the best Dragon Ball films, if not THE best. But while I was riding the hype train throughout, I failed to pick up on a few things that, thankfully, TeamFourStar did and pointed out in their spoiler…
Over the last 5 months, the conversation surrounding Battlefield V has been dominated by the developers inclusive, yet divisive decisions regarding the multiplayer portion of the game. And to be honest, despite how much I wanted a World War II Battlefield game, the game they were advertising just wasn’t what I had…
In the world of fantasy stories, you have two kinds:
Over the past week or so, rumors have begun to crop up thanks to Wall Street Journal Japan. The insinuation, as with previous rumors, was that Nintendo will be releasing a revised Switch model in mid to late 2019. The rumor from WSJJ was that this new Switch model would merely be a minor hardware revision with a…
If you had told me that a co-production between a Chinese animation studio and a Japanese animation studio would be pretty good, I’d have been skeptical. While I have sufficient faith to trust the Japanese animation industry to pump out a true gem at least once a season or two, I can’t say the same about the Chinese…
What do you get when you combine classic History Channel documentaries with video games? You get the Youtube channel “GVMERS”. It’s something I never knew I wanted until now, but the concept on its own isn’t really enough. No, what really sells this channel and its content is the narrator who reminds me of so many…
Ever since Microsoft established the Xbox Game Pass, I’ve been saying that sooner or later other publishers will follow and create subscription services of their own that offer both past and present titles for a single monthly fee. Microsoft sweetened the deal by adding all of their upcoming first party games to the…
Back in 2012, I discovered the Yakuza series through Yakuza 3 on the PlayStation 3. I’ve been in love with the series ever since and have played every game released in the US to date, but Yakuza 6 is the only one I went into with hesitation. In the lead up to its release in Japan back in 2016, I had read that it would…
