Citizens of Earth
Another victory for the VP? I’ll start this off by saying that I knew nothing of this title when I jumped into it. I had not followed the kick-starter nor read any news stories or updates about the game. The very first bit of information that was offered to me about this game was the comparison to one of, if not my most beloved game from my childhood…Earthbound. Now, I’m well aware that rose-tinted nostalgia goggles are a damning thing to wear during the review process, so I will do my best to take them off as often as I can. However, a comparison to Earthbound is a heavy order…

Merry Christmas!
Well, it’s Christmas day. Time to open those presents and see what you got. For those of you who managed to land yourself a 3DS or a Vita, 2014 looks to be a very good year. Pokémon Bank is right around the corner, releasing on December 27th. Finally, we can use our old world pork monsters in magnificent 3D. Bravely Default comes out this February as does a new Prof. Layton game. On the Vita, there looks to be a Dragon Ball Z fighter coming out in January. Danganronpa also looks interesting and I should have a review for this one sometime down the line. Along with it comes Toukiden…

Now Playing #2
Another random image I found online. To the creator go all the credits, but once again, I know not who is responsible. A sleight update to my last post, I played Pokémon with my Vita headphones instead of my old iPhone headset and I couldn’t notice the vibration at the high pitch. I also noticed that maybe 1/4 of the game’s music is new and not just chiptunes like I originally stated. Still, on both my Pikachu 3DS XL and my girlfriend’s Blue 3DS XL, the speakers do vibrate as mentioned. I also noticed that the small 3DS doesn’t have this issue, but it’s volume is lower. I believe it’s…

Now Playing #1
In my last post, I said I would start to post little bits about what I’m playing right now. I think I also mentioned that I’ve been going hard in Pokémon. It’s a great game; the best in the series, actually. Still, from the start, I have been finding things that really upset me with the game. The number one offense is the sound. Even with my speakers turned down low or while using earphones, the chiptune win music makes my speakers or earphones rattle. I don’t like that sound as I usually associate it with bad speakers, but I know my earphones are good. It just sounds bad. I…

Etrain Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl
So there’s this new game out called Etrain Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl. Maybe it’s not that new as it’s a remake of a game that came out on the original DS only a few years back, but I never played that game. In fact, the last first person dungeon crawler I played was Mazes of Fate for the Game Boy Advance. I enjoyed that game a great deal, so I was hoping for something similar with Millenium Girl.

Shantae Coming To 3DS & Vita!
With Mighty No. 9 fully funded beyond the final stretch goal of $4,000,000, we focus our attention to his older cousin, Shantae. Already funded with a couple of stretch goals reached, it isn’t doing quite as well. This series has consistently delivered solid platforming ever since it’s debut. The more funding they get, the better game they’ll be able to bring us. Have a look and back the game if you like what you see.

New RF4 How To: Crafting
Last time, the folks at XSEED gave us a quick introduction to fighting and farming. This time, they want you to see how deep the crafting system is. To be honest, it may be a little too deep for me, but I’m still excited about this game. Inside, I’ve got a picture of the game’s US Box Art. It’s not too shabby, if you ask me.

LE Pokémon 3DS XL Coming Stateside
If you’ve been holding out on buying a 3DS until Pokémon comes out, or if you’ve been waiting for a really ugly limited edition Pokémon 3DS XL, September 27 looks to be the day for you. Maybe this thing is to your liking, but I’m just not feeling it. If you do fancy either of these, I would suggest reserving yours at your local stores.
