Potata: Fairy Flower never blossoms – Review

Poh-tay-tah, poh-tah-tah… No matter how you pronounce Potata: Fairy Flower it’s still a generic bore; a side-scrolling fantasy adventure that barely distinguishes itself from the bargain bin pack. A touch of Celtic fairy charm, a few challenging platforming sections, some genuinely clever usage of items, and smart environmental puzzles are quickly overshadowed by shoddy animation,…

Are There Too Many Video Games Being Developed?

Say what you will about game crunch, but would a little extra time be the worst thing for a game currently? Rockstar may be at the center of this “issue,” but why do they even feel the need to rush these games out? Are we hurting for something to play so badly right now that we couldn’t live without Red Dead Redemption 2 for another six months?

Mario Kart GP VR is a dream come true

Last year, Japan got the very first Nintendo VR game for arcades, Mario Kart GP VR. Just like the other Mario Kart arcade games, Bandai Namco developed this as well, but for their “VR Zone” arcades.

Nintendo Needs to Kill The 3DS

I haven’t traveled with my 3DS since Nintendo released the Switch nearly two years ago. I’m sure, like me, most of you prefer to travel with as little as possible and having to take more than one portable system with you can just be a nuisance. When they announced the Switch, Nintendo seemed to have a product on their hands that would not only replace the Wii U as the home console, but would allow the 3DS to finally rest in peace as well. Yet, here we are with the re-release of the original Luigi’s Mansion and the game is only releasing on the 3DS!? Really? The 3DS? With a newly announced sequel underway it seems that the Switch would be the ideal platform for fans to replay this under appreciated GameCube Launch title, yet Nintendo seems unwilling to let the 3DS die.
