[Review] Ys X: Nordics (PS5)

A wonderful sail of an adventure despite a few issues on board   Ys X: Nordics is the latest installment of the Ys Series. It launched for PS4, PS5, Switch and PC on October 25th. This game originally came out a year ago for Eastern audiences. However, we had to wait till this year to get our hands on it. It was surprising to see it was coming out this year though as I expected it to be next year, so seeing it this year was really cool. Ever since I first saw some previews of this game I was quite excited about it. Adol manning a ship? and his ship not crashing?? That's so unheard of for Ys, a great change of pace. Did Adol sail all the way to greatness? Well... I have now completed the game and played all the side content so I am more than ready to give my thoughts on it.  ~ Positives ~ Buttery Smooth And Satisfying Combat - The combat for Ys games is always something special. They always manage to make something so fun in every game. Ys X is no different. In fact, I would say thi

[News] Two More Games Have Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online!

More games are now available for Nintendo Switch Online members source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  two more games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 2 N64 games. These games are Shadowman and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.  N64 games do require the expansion tier so you will need that, though you will also need to have the specific N64 mature app to play these as well, due to thier age ratings. Should you have both, you can play these games right now. For more information on each game click these links: Shadowman Turok 2: Seeds of Evil This is a nice little halloween addition to the Nintendo Switch Online line up. I havent personally played either game but have seen some gameplay from both. Shadowman is a very interesting game, I do have some interest in playing it myself one day. Turok is a well loved classic too, so you can't' go wrong playing either. Shadowman does have more of that halloween feeling to it though,

[News] Splatfest now on! - Splatoween (Splatoon 3)

Pick a team and splat it out! Source: twitter.com/NintendoEurope Another splatfest is upon us. This Special Halloween Splatfest, about what you would rather be in a fantasy world, was announced on October 9th. The choices for this splatfest are, wizard, knight and ninja. As usual, this event runs for two full days (26th @ 1am - 27th @ 11:59am), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day. Just like last time Nintendo have made a lot of cool little changes to for this fest to really make it feel like a Halloween one. From the idols wearing outfits to additional Halloween themed music it really is a spooktastic fest. The tri-colour stage this time is both Scorch Gorge and Mincemeat Metalworks. These are both stages we have had before but it's cool to not only see the return of the best tri-colour stage (Scorch Gorge) but also have two different maps at the same time. Mincemeat is an okay stage too but I know many will be hoping to come across Scorch Gorge more, myself incl

[News] Some More Game Trails Are Coming!

Nintendo is giving us some more game trials! source:  x.com/NintendoUK Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  we are going to get 3 more game trials for Nintendo Switch Online owners. The three games that will have these are Minecraft Dungeons, A Little To The Left and Cursed to Golf. The timeframe for these games is October 23rd to October 30th . I haven't played any of these myself, but I will for sure be giving Cursed to Golf a go and maybe A Little To The Left as it seems to be a puzzle game and I like those. Minecraft Dungeons is the biggest game here and with it's short length you will most likely be able to finish it in the time which is really cool. I wonder how long we will have to wait for more game trail games and what they will be, would be cool to see a first-party title from Nintendo appear on these. That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[News] Banjo-Tooie Coming To Nintendo Switch Online!

Both N64 Banjo games are now back on Nintendo Hardware!   source:  gamesdb.launchbox-app.com Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game will come to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes one N64 game, Banjo Tooie.  The N64 app requires the expansion pass tier, so you will need that to access this game. The game will become available for pass owners on the 25th of October. For more information on each game click this link. Finally, the original banjo games come back home to a Nintendo console. I know many people have been waiting for this to happen and it's so great it has. I actually haven't played this game despite playing the first. I do not have the expansion pass tier though so I won't be able to play it this way either. I do have an interest in playing it though and will do so one day. If you enjoyed the first Banjo or just like collectathon-style games then be sure to give it a try, I've heard nothing but good things about this one.  That's

[News] Ys X: Nordics Gets A Demo!

Get a taste of this upcoming game!    Image source:  x.com/Ys_Central Over on X (Twitter), NISAmerica have just announced that you can download a demo for Ys X: Nordics. This demo is available right now on Switch, PS4/5 and PC. The size of the demo is around 2.5 GB (PS5) and it covers the first three chapters of the game, so it's pretty hefty. Your save from this demo can be transferred to the full game when it releases too, so it is a great way to get a head start. It's not long before this game comes out now. As a reminder, October 25th is when this game will be released worldwide. So, if the demo intrigues you, you still have time to secure a pre-order to get it on release day (in most cases).  I am so happy we got this demo. I wasn't sure if we would actually get one but we did. I am going to be playing this a bunch myself before release. I really can't wait for this game to come out, Ys games always provide countless hours of fun in a wonderful world and I am sure
