Tetris 99 Maximus Cup X Miitopia – Starts Friday
It’s been quite a few months since Tetris 99 dropped their last Maximus Cup. It seems like most of Nintendo’s bigger releases end up with a special Maximus Cup event shortly before, or after, release. Arika and Nintendo are back at it, with the 21st themed event. This time around will celebrate last month’s launch of Miitopia on the Nintendo Switch.
WarioWare: Get It Together! Switch Reveal
The absence of a WarioWare title on Nintendo Switch surprised many. Wario’s outlandish spinoff series has previously acted as a showcase for the innovative features of Nintendo’s latest. 2018’s 3DS title WarioWare Gold acted as a “best of” microgame package, offering very little new content. The WarioWare franchise hasn’t seen a truly innovational release in ove...[Read More]

Art of Rally Rolls Onto Consoles This Summer
Racing on the tarmac is a tame experience. Humans build a road. Cars drive on roads. The tire meets the road. Everything follows the path of the road. Art of Rally, however, is a game that does not follow roads. Out, beyond the decrepit concrete paths and the bland, grey roads of deterioration lies the untamed energy of the wilderness. Art of Rally is a game that puts players out of the concrete a...[Read More]
Manifold Garden (PS5) Hands-On Preview
Last year, Independent developer William Chyr released Manifold Garden to consoles. In my Nintendo Switch review, Manifold Garden demonstrated that a heavy narrative isn’t necessary to create an engaging experience. Last week, William Chyr Studio confirmed a port would be heading to PlayStation 5 on May 20th. In my Nintendo Switch review, I criticized the game for its mostly simplistic art style a...[Read More]
