Countdown To Switch 2: Best Of The Switch

~ Andrew Lokken ~ Leave a comment

It’s been eight years since the Nintendo Switch launched, and I’ve talked about it a whole lot on this blog in that time. It’s pretty crazy to think that at the time of this writing, the Switch 2 is only one week away. Before we put the original Switch to rest, I thought it’d be cool to write a little bit about my favorite games on the system. This won’t be the most comprehensive list. I was thinking of the best way to do this, and decided to do the highest ranking Switch game on each of my game of the year lists. That means there’s going to be a bunch I miss, but I can’t make this post a million words long. So, let’s get started.

What I Want From The Switch 2

~ Andrew Lokken ~ 1 Comment

We all know the successor to the Nintendo Switch is coming in the near future. We don’t know exactly when, we don’t know how much it’ll cost, we don’t even know what it’s called, but we know it’s coming. I thought it would be fun to write what I want to see from the console. Might not be the most exciting list of features you’ve ever seen, but here’s what I’m hoping for.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore First Impressions

~ Andrew Lokken ~ Leave a comment

It feels a little weird writing a first impressions piece of a port of a game that I already wrote a twelve part series on. That being said, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE might be my favorite JRPG of all time, and I was super excited to get back in and see what new features were added. So far, I’ve played a little over eight hours of the game and I’ve only found a couple minimal new things, which is unfortunate, but I’m still having a really good time. Continue reading →

The January Nintendo Direct: Predicting An Event That Hasn’t Been Announced Yet

~ Andrew Lokken ~ 1 Comment

There will be a Nintendo Direct this month. I mean, they haven’t actually said that they’re going to, but they are. It just makes sense. We’re coming up on the one year anniversary of their Nintendo Switch event, which basically spelled out their plans for 2017. Plus there’s been a ton of leaks, one of which is an internal timeline for marketing the game Fe that straight up says that it’ll be shown during the January Direct. So, it’s happening. But what will be shown, and more importantly, what do I want to be shown?

Man, if it doesn’t happen, this is the dumbest start to an article. Continue reading →

My Ten Favorite Games Of 2016

~ Andrew Lokken ~ 1 Comment

2016 was a pretty good year for video games. Unfortunately, I didn’t have nearly as much disposable income to buy games as I had in years past, and the end result is that a lot of the biggest games of the year, I haven’t played. I also, don’t own a PlayStation 4, so I haven’t played games like Uncharted 4 or The Last Guardian. But, I was still able to come up with a list of ten games that I played this year. It’s probably pretty different from most of the lists you’ve seen on other sites. Continue reading →

It’s that time again. Let’s take a look at how my progress in Tokyo Mirage Sessions is going. This week, I got further in the main story, did the final side quest, and got some grinding done in preparation for the final boss. You know the drill by now, before we get to all that, we have to talk numbers. Itsuki is currently level 61, I’m still in chapter 6, and my current play time is 46 hours and 44 minutes.

It’s that time again, time to see how much progress I made in Tokyo Mirage Sessions this week! Unfortunately, it’s not a whole lot this time. I did manage to make a little bit of story progress and complete one side quest. But, before we get to that, let’s go over some numbers. Itsuki is currently level 54, I’m partway through chapter 6, and my total playtime is just under 40 hours. Continue reading →

~ Andrew Lokken ~ Leave a comment

I didn’t have a whole ton of time to play Tokyo Mirage Sessions this week. I only got about two hours of playtime in. But, even though I didn’t spend that much time with the game, I still got a decent amount of stuff done. All of it was side quests this time. Before I get into what went down, let’s go over some numbers. My current playtime is 37 and a half hours, Itsuki is level 53, and I’m currently an the intermission before chapter 6.

My current play time is 35 hours and 20 minutes, Itsuki is level 51, and I’m currently in the intermission between chapters 5 and 6. Continue reading →
