To start our review, if you’re already a fan of the Zero Escape series, then I recommend that you stop reading beyond this paragraph. Zero Time Dilemma is very much a new Zero Escape game, despite some alterations to the formula. I won’t spoil anything in the review, but I do recommend going in knowing as little as possible if you can help it. If you enjoyed Zero Time Dilemma’s predecessors, then you’ll feel right at home here, even with the slightly revised formula.

I’m very happy we were able to introduce Ever Oasis to you all.
This game is set in a desert. The lead character will venture out as chief of the desert oasis along with his partner, the water nymph Isuna, to expand the oasis.

[Review] Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Wii U | 17 Comments

System: Wii U
Release date: June 24, 2016
Developer: Atlus
Publisher Nintendo

At the dawn of the new year in 2013, Nintendo fans looked forward to another Nintendo Direct, giving us tons of announcements and games to anticipate in the coming months, as well as future development projects. One of the mystery titles revealed shocked many enthusiasts of the RPG genre. Of course, that was the surprise crossover between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem – two very different franchises at heart, but ones that share a connection with their deep character development, in-depth gameplay, and memorable experiences. All we had at the time was some character art shown between the long running entries of both series, but other than that and a confirmation of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem in the works, fans were left in the dark for well over a year afterwards. By that point, most assumed the game had been cancelled. Now in 2016, not only is the crossover nearly here, but Shin Megami Tensei mixing with Fire Emblem is a match made in heaven.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 22 Comments

Warner Bros. has brought several games to Wii U over the company’s lifespan, and it looks like that support will continue with NX. In an interview with GamesBeat, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad addressed a question about making games for the new systems on the way, including NX. He mentioned that the publisher has “great relationships with all the console platforms” and will “play a role in each of them.”

Warner Bros. was at Wii U’s launch with games such as Scribblenauts Unlimited and Batman: Arkham City – Armored Edition. That support has continued through to the present. In fact, next week, the company will ship LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Wii U.
