Game Review: Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Prince’s Edition
As an avid JRPG fan, I was very much aware of the fanfare surrounding Level-5’s Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom when it was first released for the PC and PS4 back in 2018. Now that I’ve finally gotten the chance to try out the definitive “Prince’s Edition” of this game on the Switch, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on this new addition to the console’s extensive library of JRPGs!
Game Review: Sonic Colors Ultimate (Switch)
Back when Sonic Colors originally released on the Wii in 2010, I deeply loved the game as a child. From its fun gameplay to its exciting environments, the game was full of personality and was what the series needed after flops such as Sonic 06 and Sonic Unleashed. But now, to keep fans occupied in the gap until the next Sonic game releases in 2022, SEGA has finally decided to port one of their older Sonic titles to modern platforms with Sonic Colors Ultimate being the first!

With that all out of the way, will Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin be another hit run for Switch Players to pick up?

Game Review: Persona 5 Strikers
Nintendo Switch owners have been eager for Persona content on the Switch ever since Joker from Persona 5 joined the Super Smash Bros. fighters roster of the first DLC fighters pass. And now a year after the game was released in Japan, Switch owners can experience Persona 5: Strikers here in North America.
Game Review: Jump Force Deluxe Edition (Switch)
Ever since Jump Ultimate Stars released on the DS back in 2006 to much praise and success, fans were repeatedly asking for a new fighting game featuring all their favorite Shonen characters on a home console. With all the possibilities and potential this idea had, it would have surely been an amazing experience possibly on par with Super Smash Bros. That dream finally came true when J-Stars Victory VS released on PlayStation 3 back in 2015 but to much disappointment with the game feeling quite lacking among fans. But then at E3 2018, Shonen fans had a glimmer of hope when Jump Force was announced for PS4, PC and Xbox One as a celebration of Shonen Jump’s 50th Anniversary. In this reveal, the game looked great debuting with a trailer featuring some flashy visuals and a sneak peak of the all star roster. However, when it finally released, fans were extremely disappointed with the game due to its lackluster roster, boring story mode, lazy animations and a realistic art style that looked jarring on the cartoony designs of many of the anime/manga characters. Months after the game released, the game fell into obscurity with concurrent players dropping day by day until recently. Over a year later, Jump Force has been re-released for Nintendo Switch in a deluxe package that features all previous patches and all the season 1 DLC. As it has been several months after release, we’ll be taking a look to see if any improvements have been made to this new version of the game.
Game Review: Windbound (Switch)
Windbound is a new survival game that uses an tropical island aesthetic to weave a story about a warrior who must sail the seas to find her way back home. But this game is full of storms in more ways than one.
Game Review: Megadimension Neptunia VII
Since its launch, the Nintendo Switch has become a haven for JRPGs of all kinds, from AAA blockbusters to more niche titles that still stand out in their own way. Megadimension Neptunia VII falls under the latter, and considering that I owe it to the Neptunia series for being my gateway to the world of niche JRPGs, I was undoubtedly excited to see a main series title (and arguably one of the best ones) finally debut on the Switch. But just how well does this port on Nintendo’s hybrid console hold up?
