Facing myself with (and without) Persona 4

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Features, Switch

Persona 4 was one of my favorite games. It was the summer of 2014. I’d just graduated high school, and in a few months would be moving away from my hometown for the first time in my life. It was a time of anxiety, transition, and uncertainty. What kind of…

Opinion – Will Fire Emblem Engage finally be a legacy game for the series done right?

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Features, Switch

Fire Emblem Engage releases next week, and I’m pretty stoked. Obviously there’s a bit of caution (I’ve been disappointed by new entries in the past), but the character designs, combat, and overall feel look amazing. My optimism isn’t shared by everyone though – particularly those who fear that the inclusion…

2022 was a year of grand, sweeping games on Nintendo Switch. We had one of the biggest RPGs ever in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a luscious sci-fi epic in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, a time-spanning remake of the ages in Live A Live. All these and more were up for Game…

In modern times, year five of a console’s lifespan is usually around the time things start winding down, to get prepared for year six or seven when the successor officially debuts. The Wii released in 2006, and by 2011 it was winding down with only the occasional blockbuster release. The…

Pokémon Legends: Arceus vs. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: A head-to-head comparison

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Features, Switch

Game Freak released not one but two Pokémon games this year. And not just that, but games specifically designed to be wide open, innovative takes on the formula. That led to certain problems due to development constraints, but it’s remarkable that the two games are not just feature complete –…

Opinion: Please, producers, give more time for Pokémon development

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Features, Switch

The other day, I was looking back through an opinion piece I wrote earlier this year, an evaluation of the Pokémon franchise shortly after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. And while the article has already aged in general, one part in particular jumped out at me:   It’s unlikely…

Recently, the gaming internet was shocked and subsequently outraged when Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor revealed that she wouldn’t be returning to voice her in Bayonetta 3 after only being offered $4,000 to do so. Cries for justice and vindication followed. And then… it was revealed that she was likely…
