[Review] Fire Emblem Engage
Posted on 1 year ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: January 20, 2023
Developer: Intelligent Systems
Publisher: Nintendo
Fire Emblem Engage comes just three years after the success of Three Houses, and though this seems like a quick turnaround for a series that has been known for its richness and depth, the new game streamlines a lot of mechanics and capabilities to make it much more intuitive and approachable without having to sacrifice any of the quality the franchise has seen with each new entry. It’s certainly a different flavor, tone, and direction, so those new to the series – or even long-time fans – may feel an odd sense of having to “relearn” Fire Emblem this time around. However, it’s yet another fantastic addition to a series that seems immune to any type of mediocrity.

[Review] Rhythm Sprout
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: February 1, 2023
Developer: SURT
Publisher: tinyBuild
It takes a certain type of creative mind to look at the vegetables on display in their grocery store produce aisle and decide, “finally – the protagonist for my story-driven rhythm game!” That level of kookiness is the driving force behind Rhythm Sprout, a delightfully bonkers rhythm-action game in which an onion wearing headphones and a tracksuit slaughters various edible enemies to the beat of a wide range of music. As the debut release from Norwegian developer SURT games, Rhythm Sprout’s creative concept has maintained my interest ever since its initial reveal, but how does its beat-based gameplay live up to the rest of the experience?

Fatal Frame producer says brand new game could happen
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
According to Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse producer Yutaka Fukaya, a brand new entry in the series is a possibility for the future.
The franchise has been going through a bit of a renaissance as of late. After Fatal Frame was missing in action for several years, Koei Tecmo brought back Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water for modern platforms in 2021. That’s now being followed up with a remaster of the Wii title Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which is leaving Japan for the first time.
