Nintendo knows better than to announce a new Nintendo Switch at E3
Some Nintendo fans and industry watchers came away from Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct perplexed that the company didn’t roll out a new Nintendo Switch model, which has been heavily rumored and reported for the better part of a year. Mere weeks before E3 2021 kicked off, Bloomberg reported that we could see the new 4K-ready “Switch […]
Crash Team Racing Is Better Than Mario Kart, And I’m Tired Of Pretending That It’s Not
If you’ve gotten past the title of this article, I commend you. Mario Kart was near and dear to my heart too, when I first played the original from 1992. I loved the version that came after as well, which was Mario Kart 64 in 1996. I put countless hours into those games and loved […]
A Sonic Concert Is A Better Anniversary Celebration Than A New Game
Like many fans of the Blue Blur, I tuned into the 30th anniversary Sonic Central stream ready to be whelmed. Sonic fans have been burned too many times to expect greatness, but surely some neat piece of merch would be revealed and beg to take a spot on my shelf. I also had the benefit […]

I’ve commonly heard people make the claim that older games are just better all-around than newer games. Obviously, we are setting graphics aside, so they’ll tend to argue that older games had better strategic implementation, better character development, and more. I’ve written previously on how retro games are popular due to more than just nostalgia—the video […]
“I’ll Do Better At Darkest Dungeon After Completing Bravely Default 2,” Proven To Be Unimaginably False
Ah, yes. After many hours and endless nights of rage quitting Bravely Default 2, I finally made it to the end of the game. Admittedly, the game did get easier once I learned how to utilize jobs and abilities more effectively, but some of those final bosses are truly no joke. After completing the game, […]
7 Times VR Did It Better Than The Original Game
Hopefully there will be a day when VR offers the definitive experience for most gaming series, but we’re a long way off from that. Not only do the tight economics of VR support make it hard to justify for many developers but, even when they do add in support or make new VR spin-offs, early […]
WandaVision Would Be Better If It Wasn’t In The MCU
WandaVision came to an end last week, and while I think it fell into the typical MCU trap of mismanaged endings, I thoroughly enjoyed its run. Through episodes 1-3 and 5-7 especially (that’s the sitcom parody episodes), the show masterfully constructed its dynamic between Wanda and Vision, and then later adding in Billy, Tommy, and […]
