Atelier/Gust/Interview/Interviews/JRPG/Koei Tecmo/Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World/Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists/TGS 2018/Tokyo Game Show

Interview by Matt S. Atelier is special to me. I discovered it relatively late – Atelier Rorona on the Sony PlayStation 3 was my first (and I am ever so happy that I’ll have that particular title on my Nintendo Switch soon enough), but I fell in love with the…

October 3, 2018

Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/party game/Reviews/Super Mario Party/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a Mario Party title this much. The last couple of iterations have been wildly experimental in some ways, almost to the point of doing away with the very board game foundation that attracted me to the series right back…

Review by Lachlan W. Have you ever gone to the movies and just wanted to stick your whole entire face under the popcorn machine? Sweet simple carb rush, breezy airiness of a mostly empty product, and the guilt of having to go for a jog to burn off all that…

Review: Disgaea 1 Complete (Nintendo Switch)

Disgaea 1/Disgaea 1 Complete/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/Reviews/Switch Review/Tactics RPG

Review by Matt S. The Disgaea series has evolved significantly from its first title. It has retained the same dark humour in telling stories about the various conflicts of the underworld, but in terms of how it tells those stories, and the game’s various mechanical systems, if you play Disgaea…

We’re back! After a week’s hiatus so Matt could attend Tokyo Game Show, we’re now back to chat about all the great (and not such great stuff) that happened in the last week. First we chat about TGS, and then the sad news about Telltale Games, before moving on to…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Mega Man, Rockman, The Blue Bomber; whatever you want to call him, he’s been around for a while and he’s influenced the platforming genre in many ways over the years. Finally coming back to the limelight after a hefty hiatus, Mega Man 11 sees this iconic…

Arcade/Beat 'em Up/Capcom/Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Tyler T. Beat ‘em ups have been an arcade staple due to their simplicity. Often only requiring two buttons (an attack and jump), the game’s allowed players to feel like they’re successful enough at it to plop down another quarter in the arcade when they inevitably die due…
