In an interesting development, Nintendo has filed patents for Hinged detachable Joy Cons (see illustrations) for it’s Nintendo Switch hybrid console. The development is interesting considering that Nintendo does sell a Pro controller already and the biggest issue with the Joy Cons has been the “Drift” malfunction that has plagued some of them. The slight…
The Sega Dreamcast turns 20 today. Sega’s last console released on 9/9/99 with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign was Sega’s last effort in the hardware business. By late 2000 rumors were that Sega would pullout of the Hardware business, and they did in 2001-02 effectively killing the Dreamcast. We won’t go in depth today into…
I will start this review off by admitting that I didn’t play Dark Souls back when it was originally released on 360/PS3. My first experience with the game has been the Dark Souls remastered edition for the Nintendo Switch which consequently is the subject of this review. I will always remember 2011 as a sad…
After a wave of rumors suggesting the imminent announcement of both a powered up Switch and a Lite version of it, Nintendo finally announced the lite version of its flagship system complete with a release date and price point.

After Final Fantasy XIII I must confess that I boycotted the series. Sakaguchi’s departure left a void that remained unfilled a decade after his last game at Squaresoft; FFX. I bought FFXV at a bargain sale of used games for 9.99, meaning that my Boycott technically still stands as Square didn’t make a dime on…
More than two decades ago, Final Fantasy VII was released in North America. The game achieved previously unseen levels of critical, and commercial success for a title on its genre. FFVII drove the blooming J-RPG genre into the mainstream, turning what was a mostly niche genre (as far triple A titles went) into the most…
Image via @glaciie Lon Lon Ranch Present Malon was stirred awake by the sounds of horse hooves and unintelligible chatter out side of her window. The sun was barely making its way out, but she could easily make out the form of three Hylian Knights, one them being her own Marcilus Stonard. She knew Stonard…
Image via @pikinipiki Lost Woods Present… Link could feel his head spinning. He had lost a lot of blood, and even under the guidance of Aryl the Lost Woods maze was quite frankly an annoying place to trek. The annoyance was amplified by Link’s moribund condition. “How much further Aryl? I am starting to black…
Image via @pikinipiki Hyrule’s Castle Present… Princess Zelda walked through Hyrule Castle’s stony halls with sleepy eyes and a frowned expression. It was barely first light and she had already been summoned by her father for an all important meeting in the council chamber. “So…he didn’t say what this was about?” She asked her attendant…
