We recently had the opportunity to play an early demo of OlliOlli World, the new entry in the series that mixes 2D platforming and skateboarding. While we specifically went hands-on with the PC version, the game will also come to Switch for its launch on February 8.
Based on my time with OlliOlli World, I was really impressed by how much fun I had playing it. The gameplay is a bit different compared to the typical titles out there, but it works really well, with each mechanic complementing the other. Be sure to check my full impressions in the video down below.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve got a couple of more notes from the NPD Group detailing the latest gaming sales for the U.S.
First up, it’s been confirmed that Switch was the best-selling hardware platform in units sold during December. We’re also hearing that Switch and PlayStation 5 were essentially tied for dollar sales leadership in the month. Additionally, Switch led 2021 hardware when it comes to both unit and dollar sales.
Along with Switch, 2021 was a good year for Pokemon. We already know that Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were collectively the third best-selling title of December 2021, and it ranked first on Nintendo platforms for both December as well as 2021 overall. Even more significant, 2021 dollar sales of Pokemon franchise physical software reached its highest annual total since the year 2000.

[Review] Arcadia Fallen
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 5, 2022
Developer: Galdra Studios
Publisher: Galdra Studios
It’s hard not to respect a game that tries to punch above its weight and bring fresh ideas into a crowded genre; that alone was enough to get Arcadia Fallen on my radar. Developed by a small team and originally funded on Kickstarter, the game appears at first glance to be just another visual novel about magical beings trying to save the world, but Galdra Studios created something special by adding layers of decision-making and puzzle mechanics to what otherwise would have been a by-the-books experience. And while the individual elements of Arcadia Fallen’s presentation and systems lack the polish and nuance to match its ambitions, its heartfelt narrative and lovable cast of characters elevate the experience to something greater than the sum of its parts.

What to expect from Pokemon Legends: Arceus (and eShop credit giveaway)
Posted on 3 years ago by Luiz in Features, Giveaway, Switch | 0 comments
We’re doing a giveaway! See the YouTube description for additional information and the relevant details.
Now, about the video, we are less than two weeks away from the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The expectations for the game have been all over the place – some people excited, some people disappointed, and others trying to balance a bit of both.
It’s undeniable that the game’s proposal of a structurally different Pokemon experience is exciting. Even though the series has evolved a lot during the years, the core formula stayed the same and with the mixed reception of recent games, right now seems like the perfect moment to shake things up. You can check my full thoughts on the game and the Pokemon series as a whole in the video below.
