With PlayStation handhelds a thing of the past, certain genres need to find themselves a new home. One of those being the rhythm game genre. The Nintendo Switch has done a good job providing a roof over there heads. With a library containing games such as Cytus α, Groove Coaster, MUSYNX, Taiko no Tatsujin, and SUPEBEAT XONiC, the Switch has shown that it is a credible place to play rhythm games. However, there’s something missing. That something, or someone I should say, is Hatsune Miku.

Born of the Wii party game boom, the Mario & Sonic games have often been relegated to side attractions. Outside of the novelty of putting Mario and Sonic head to head for a foot race, they never inspired a larger response. Mario & Sonic 2020 aims to change that, introducing a new story mode that sees the cast competing in the ‘64 Olympics to escape a world that’s trapped them in their retro forms. Alongside some engaging events, this goes a long way to making Mario & Sonic 2020 more of a complete package, one that lasts beyond the initial novelty, even if its uneven in where it puts its attention.

My cousin was dropping me off at the airport and I asked if we could swing by any store. I didn’t know what I wanted but I’d figured I would find something to get for the four-hour flight back home.
I ended up getting a Switch. Six months later, was it a wise purchase?

Every week we’ll be recommending you a game, and either an album or a movie to check out. This week I’m recommending recently released ARMS and MACROSS 82-99′s recently released album IDOLS, SAKURA.

There’s never a dull moment in a Smash Bros games, and that is especially the case with Smash Bros on Wii U and 3DS. Since the launch date, I could not put down my 3DS for a moment. Be it in Smash Run or in For Glory Online mode, the game provides fun and fresh content 100% of the time.
The best part about Smash Bros is that both games are virtually identical, with the Wii U version having a few more features. This is a great thing for two reasons; 1. For those of us who cannot afford a Wii U, the 3DS version is the next best thing. 2. Any sort of combos you learned in the 3DS version can be replicated on the Wii U version. Also, you have the ability to use your 3DS as a controller with Wi-Fi connectivity on the Wii U, so having your 3DS and the game with you just might come in handy.

I swore to myself I would never touch a Pokémon game ever again since my experiences with Pokémon Y. It wasn’t a bad jRPG per say, but for once I felt that I was simply fatigued with the series that I hold dear to my heart. Then came Pokémon Omega Ruby.
