Thimbleweed Park is a wonderful love letter about everything that made 1980s games great. The Switch probably has the best console version due to the touch screen controls, as the physical controls can be a chore if you’re playing on the TV. With such a focus maintained on nostalgia I’m...
Namco Museum
I had fun with Namco Museum. Some of the titles are bona fide classics that deserve a place on every console, past, present, or future. Other titles are probably best left as distant memories. The presentation of the collection is great, however, and the inclusion of save states, game settings,...
Miitopia is a mixed bag. Mii interactions off and on the battlefield are fun, but the pacing and linear scope of the game hampers an otherwise fun experience. The game doesn’t last too long for JRPG standards (around 30-35 hours) but this feels like a fun 15 hour game stretched...
King of Fighters ‘98 is one of the better fighters you’ll find on the Switch right now. It’s large roster and vibrant graphics brought me into the game, and its simple, intuitive gameplay gives you a lot to work with. There will probably be better fighting experiences for the Switch...
When it comes to Super Bomberman R, don’t expect any frills, bells, or whistles. This is a standard edition of a Bomberman experience, with a decent enough story mode and a pretty fun online experience whenever the connection was smooth. Nothing about this game reinvents the franchise, but hey --...
Mighty No. 9 isn’t a bad game, but it’s generic in gameplay quality and suffers from technical issues that hamper the experience. If you wanted a brand new 2D platforming experience in the vein of the old Mega Man games, then this is probably something worth your time. Just don’t...
The first chapter of Minecraft: Story Mode is a fun start to a five episode series. The characters and story is easy to get into, and the chapter hangs on an interesting note that sets the basis for the rest of the chapters. The voice acting is really well done,...
Funk of Titans
Funk of Titans is a game that kept my interest for a while, but ultimately it fails to deliver much beyond a few hours of play. The game is easy to play and get into, but there’s not much variation in gameplay. New weapons and gear that can be unlocked...
Costume Quest 2 has a lot to like, especially with its fun gameplay and witty, clever story. It isn’t a particularly long title, but the five hours I spent with it was a blast. Some framerate troubles persist here and there, and the trick-or-treat aspect can get redundant after a...
SteamWorld Dig
Overall, SteamWorld Dig is a great addition to the Wii U library. It takes a while to get fully into the meat of the experience, as the digging drags a bit at first. But once I started upgrading, the gameplay grew addictive as I discovered the right ores to sell...
