I wasn’t clever enough to come up with a witty subhead, sorry. Author's Note: This is more of a script for a video than a written review of the game in question. I didn't want to just post a video and leave my reading audience out of it so I decided to post the script … Continue reading Paper Mario: The Origami King Review

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Review
*GameCube start-up noise* Early last year, I wrote one of my famous biased reviews for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is and always will be a very special game to me for all of the reasons I listed in that review. What’s truly odd about it is that, even though I love … Continue reading Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Review
The Nintendo Strategy
Sailing towards a blue ocean. After more than 200 days, Nintendo finally deigned to release a Direct showcasing the company’s plans for 2020. In case you don’t know, a Nintendo Direct is a livestream (or simply a video) Nintendo releases to show off the games coming to the Switch (or whatever console happens to be … Continue reading The Nintendo Strategy
Is E3 Dying?
Video Version can be found here. The short answer is no. There, I saved you some time. Discussion about the Electronic Entertainment Expo’s, a.k.a. E3’s, inevitable demise is nothing new. People have been saying for years that the show is either not relevant or will die off any day now. The show has been around … Continue reading Is E3 Dying?
Astral Chain Review
Video version can be found here. Partners in justice. This review for Astral Chain has been the most difficult review I’ve ever written. Not because I don’t know what to say but because it’s never been this hard to settle on a final score. Spoiler alert: the final score will be an eight out of … Continue reading Astral Chain Review
My Gaming Biases
Video version can be found here. Let’s get to know each other, shall we? A sudden realization dawned on me the other day while I was pondering the meaning of life: I’ve never discussed my gaming preferences with my blogging audience. Today, I aim to fix that. Since you all trust me to be your … Continue reading My Gaming Biases
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Review
Author's Note: Since I don't have a capture card for my 2DS XL, I only have pictures of the game taken with my cell phone. The quality is iffy to say the least but it gets the job done. Merge away. Link’s Awakening on the Switch did something to me last year. It gave me … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Review
Yoshi’s Crafted World Review
Author's Note: You can find the video version here. It’s a-me, Yoshi. Not since Yoshi’s Story on the N64 have I played a Yoshi game. I couldn’t tell you exactly why I decided to pick up Yoshi’s Crafted World but, if I had to guess, it was probably for the art style. It is, in … Continue reading Yoshi’s Crafted World Review
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Review
Author's Note: You can find the video version here. I've a feeling we’re not in Hyrule anymore. When Link’s Awakening was first announced back in February, I was not prepared for the fan reaction to it. I was both impressed and intrigued by the game’s reveal but most people were going crazy over it. I … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Review
Blasts from the Past
How Nintendo uses the classics to sell its consoles. In case you didn’t know, the Switch, and Nintendo as a whole, has been on a winning streak lately. The hybrid console has crossed the thirty million sold mark already and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. This is all happening after the rather disappointing sales … Continue reading Blasts from the Past
