If you’d just arrived into the Galar region and were given the town map at the train station, upon perusing it, you’d think it was deceptively simplistic and undersized, given the in game map’s almost whimsical nature. But you’d be mistaken. Galar is huge. Your journey through Galar starts as earnestly as in other Poke-regions. […]

BGS 2018: Pokémon Let’s Go feels great to play thanks to the pokéball accessory
There’s no bigger franchise in the world than Pokémon. The evergoing phenomenon is showing no sign of slowing down, and has been trucking along for just about twenty years. Pokémon Blue is still one of my most fondly remembered gaming experiences, and although I’ve since fallen out of the series only to get back to […]
E3 2018: Nintendo’s presence at the show was disappointing
Starting with its Direct presentation for this year’s show, Nintendo’s 2018 E3 was quite shy and irritatingly silent about much needed information about previously announced games and services, like Metroid Prime 4 and the Switch’s online subscription service, which is supposed to go live only a couple of months from now. The laser focus on […]
An oldie, but a goodie, Skyrim is still a great addition to the Switch
Some say that great creations never truly age, and six years is a lot in terms of videogames. In Skyrim’s case, the latest on a long-running series of ports and remasters, is a great version of the venerable fifth entry to The Elder Scrolls franchise, now on the go for the first time ever, thanks […]
From E3 2017: Super Mario Odyssey’s sure to take over your Switch in October
Regardless of how Cappy might be a name that’s a little too on the nose for Mario’s new hat, one thing’s for sure: it’s a fun new mechanic that works wonderfully well, and just happens to be one of the new crazy new things being introduced by Super Mario Odyssey. Nintendo’s lovable plumber’s newest adventure […]
Breath of the Wild embodies the spirit of exploration
In the time since finishing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I’ve occasionally loaded the game up and just wandered around Hyrule. I’d take a quick survey of where I was and pick a direction to set off in, never using the map to chart my path or scout for any particular destination. […]
An open letter to an out of touch Nintendo: A tale of too many properties
Dearly beloved, we gather here today to mourn the death of an icon. Well, hopefully not the death, but if Metroid Prime: Federation Force is any indication, it’s certainly terminal. The much-maligned spin-off to the venerable Metroid series has, of course, not been doing well at all in the marketplace. It charted well below golden […]
E3 2016: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Hands-on Impressions – Boundless
The new Legend of Zelda was little more than a teaser video at E3 2015. From there on up to this year’s show, little was talked about it outside of tentative release dates and whether or not it would be seeing it on whatever Nintendo’s console is going to end up being. It was worth […]
Yoshi’s Wooly World Video Review – Dreams of Yarn
Do Alex Jacksons dream of yarn? Apparently so. Here’s Alex’s video of Yoshi’s Wooly World!
E3 2015 – Make me a Super Mario, Maker
Super Mario Maker really is the next step for Nintendo. What else could please fans more than giving them the tools to make their own Mario game? If they clamor for more, more and more, it should be the perfect solution to give a chance for people to put their money where their mouth is, […]
