Remember those days when we used to get video game versions of most of the superhero titles that released in theaters? Yeah, me too. It’s been awhile since developers have followed that trend, as most adaptations became quite unsuccessful, despite their being a few gems, such as the Spiderman titles which launched on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Gamecube. But that’s besides the point. Superheros are BIG right now, probably bigger than they have been in awhile since most movies have been getting significantly better, and it seems video game developers are hopping on this hype train while there’s still…

Pokemon Duel is a sort of virtual board game of sorts, where players will choose 6 Pokemon figures of their choice, with the ability to customize their abilities and move-sets. The…

A new Pikachu Nintendo 3DS XL is on the way, and is set to go on sale on February 24th for $199.99, almost exactly a week from the official launch of the Nintendo Switch (RIP MY WALLET). I must say I like the design of this New Pikachu 3DS XL much more than the original one, which was for the original 3DS XL; mainly due to the entire color-scheme being Yellow, as opposed to only the outside of the console being…
Tekken 7 is truly the BIG fighting game title which is set to arrive on consoles this year. The franchise is arguably the “Street Fighter” of 3D fighting games, and considering it’s been roughly 6 years since it’s last main entry (Tekken 6), fans of the franchise are more than eager to get their hands on the latest iteration. Originally, Tekken 7 had a scheduled release window of early 2017, many fans have been speculating either a March or April release date, but it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer than that before the game officially hits store…

Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia will be a re-imagining of Fire Emblem Gaiden, ultimately giving us a more modern Fire Emblem Gaiden experience. The re-imagining will still hold true…
