New Pokemon ‘apps’ coming to the 3DS

“Apps” probably isn’t the right term to use here, though these pieces of software don’t sound like games either. Until Nintendo tells us to call them something else (like they did with last year’sWii U“experiences” at E3), I think that’s all we’ve got. So apps it is! The first is calledPokemon AR Searcher.LikeFace RaidersandSpirit Camera, it’s an augmented reality title that fuses real life environments with in-game, polygon-based characters. That’s right folks, now you may finally catch some Pokemon in yourden, your desk, or even your bed....

Nintendo just put out a cute little Bravely Default ‘personality quiz’ on My Nintendo

Thankfully, it doesn’t cost Platinum Points Bravely Default IIkind of came and went, but it’s still on my mind. This little JRPG helped kick off 2021 and it is still a Switch exclusive after all, so it’s hard to forget! And it got a bit of My Nintendo merch, as a little extra marketing push. Now My Nintendo is back with another promo, but this one is a little more cheeky and less rewarding....

Now is the best time to get back to Boruto

Despite being the sequel to thevery successfulNarutoseries,Borutois lukewarm at best. It divided the fans of the original, with some outright hating it. While I wouldn’t call myself a hater, I also wasn’t a big fan of the sequel. Nevertheless, I continued following the series. Why? Because it still entertains me to a certain degree. If you were a fan ofNarutobut decided not to follow his son’s exploits, that’s fine. I wouldn’t call it perfect....

Review: Skyrim (Switch)

Zeldaborn Skyrimwas released in 2011. Six years later (almost to the day), it’s still relevant. So relevant in fact that we thought it was worth a revisit with our review of theSpecial Edition, and worth covering yet again on Switch. Such is the power ofElder Scrolls. While the setting of Skyrim still isn’t as outrageously satisfying as Vvardenfell, the ability to create your own adventure lends itself well to a portable platform....
