Categories: Features, Switch

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…

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Switch, Features

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…

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
Categories: Switch, Features

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 –…

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…

[Opinion] Regardless of what happened with Hellena Taylor, voice actors need to be treated better

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.

The charming thing about art is that it isn’t always about going to insane lengths to provide the most beautiful or impressive vision — sometimes a humble, simple bit of minimalism is far more charming and lovely than the most sprawling canvas. Such is this case with this quaint Lego…

Author: Amelia Fruzzetti
