September 13 Nintendo Direct Recap

The sheer number of games presented in today's Nintendo Direct is almost overwhelming. We've already talked about Luigi's Mansion 3, Isabelle in Smash Ultimate, and a new Animal Crossing coming to Switch. But the direct was 40 minutes long and jam-packed with information. What about Game Freak's brand new RPG? Cities: Skylines, Civilization VI, and Settler's of Catan? Seven Final Fantasy games? Updates for Splatoon 2...

Isabelle is in Smash Ultimate, Animal Crossing is on Nintendo Switch

Sakurai is sure having a fun time with these Super Smash Bros. Ultimate reveals. Today's direct concluded with a a bit of a tease for Animal Crossing fans. Footage of Isabelle in the mayor's office suggested a new Animal Crossing game might be coming to Switch. Turns out that it was just Isabelle being announced for Smash. She's the newest fighter (not an echo) in what is definitely the most ambitious cross-over ever. C...

Nintendo opened today's Nintendo Direct with a rather unexpected announcement: Luigi's Mansion 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch. The title isn't final and a very brief preview was shown, but we know the game will be out in 2019. This is not to be confused with the remake of the original Luigi's Mansion, which is coming to 3DS and got an October 12 release date today as well. It'll probably be a while before we get anythin...

Nintendo E3 2018 Impressions

Another year of E3 has come and gone. Some cool new games were announced; gameplay and release dates were plentiful. Many members of the press, including myself, had the opportunity to demo some upcoming games on the E3 showfloor. These are my thoughts on Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation and lineup. When Nintendo stopped doing a traditional press conference at E3 a few years back, it was met with some rather harsh criti...

Dragon Ball FighterZ is Coming to Switch on September 28

One surprise that went a little under the radar from Nintendo's E3 presentation was the reveal of Dragon Ball FighterZ on Switch. The anime fighter that came to PC and other consoles earlier this year will be seeing a Switch release on September 28. If you're a fan of fighting games (or Dragon Ball) and you've yet to play it, this will be the perfect opportunity. The game already has a strong competitive scene and has b...
