REVIEW: New Pokemon Snap (Switch)
Pokemon is not a stranger when it comes to video game spinoffs. One of the many spinoffs that have been released over the years is a simple one, filled with charm, named Pokemon Snap on the Nintendo 64: an on-rail shooter with the objective of taking the photos of Pokemon. Although some monsters were open to some prime photography, others you had to lure out with bait and other tactics. Now, over 20 years later, The Pokemon Company, with the help of Bandai Namco, has released a long-awaited sequel named New Pokemon Snap for The Nintendo Switch. Instead of Professor Oak, the player helps the newly introduced Professor Mirror who…

Review: PAPER MARIO: THE ORIGAMI KING (2020)
Mario’s latest journey makes its way to the Nintendo Switch in Paper Mario: The Origami King. When the evil King Olly ventures to turn the world into an Origami Masterpiece, it is up to our favorite thinly-sliced plumber and Plumber Olivia to save it from the Origami King’s sinister plans. Paper Mario is a franchise that has suffered an identity crisis throughout the years, especially when it comes to its gameplay. Starting out as a simplistic turn-based JRPG reminiscent of SNES’ Super Mario RPG, it has gone all the way to an experimental quagmire that lacks definition and clarity of function. The meat of The Origami King lies within its…

Retro Review: STAR WARS EPISODE I: RACER (Nintendo Switch)
Star Wars has a lot of controversial topics. But if there is one thing that people seem to agree upon, it’s that Star Wars Episode I: Racer is one of the best things that came out of the prequels. I remember when I first got my hands on it. I was excited to race like Anakin Skywalker did in The Phantom Menace, which was my first experience with Star Wars. There was a time that I played this more than Mario Kart on Nintendo 64. Flash forward over 20 years later, and here we have a port on it for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Playing it on the Nintendo…

Review: TRIALS OF MANA (Nintendo Switch)
Square Enix gives us another JRPG, this time in the form of Trials of Mana. When the legendary Mana Tree is withering, it’s up to a group of heroes to save it. Right from the start, the player finds the main reasons why the game has such high replay value. The game gives the player access to six different characters, with their own set of skills and origin. With these six characters, the player chooses three of them as their playable characters. In essence, the story is the same no matter who the main character of your choice is. However, the key difference is the beginning and the end due…

5 DLC Characters for SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE That We Want to See
5. Crash Bandicoot – Activision I have never played any of the Crash Bandicoot games. So, why do I want him in Smash you ask? Well, with all other video game mascots already in the game, Crash is the one that is missing. Think about it, to see him duke it out against Sonic and Mario would be awesome. 4. Impa from The Legend of Zelda – Nintendo The Legend of Zelda is a weird title when it comes to representation in Super Smash Bros. They have a good amount of stages and assist trophies in the game, but only six playable characters. And to make matters worse, three of…
