Growing up as a late teens kid and "young adult" (yeah, I'm pretty much still a kid, IDC) in the eighth gen has been pretty lit, but not for the consoles you listed. The Switch is wonderful - I don't currently have one, but it's wonderful - but I'm really here for the 3DS line more than anything...

Well, the lead-up to me really getting into anime was a slow, slow burn of Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, DBZ, the odd Naruto episode, and some other assorted things - it's always been a part of my greater entertainment experience. And then, of course, I binged all of Ouran and that was a true...

I mean, it's probably important for me to reiterate that they were shows that resonate with me personally and that there's quite a few that have aired since Winter 2016-2017 through now that I am now excited to watch, catch up on, or broadcast at club functions as a result of simple getting back...

As general advice, I think a large part of it is finding a niche that you can explore. A rabbit hole to fall down, so to speak. Even as the Vice President of a college anime club, I just wan't excited to watch just about anything recently, besides Yuri on Ice - which only truly impressed me...

If it were, to any greater than its underlying concept already is, it probably wouldn't sell well and could damage both the franchise and Nintendo's general image. Nintendo are hesitant to even get on board with typical rated-M games; there's a reason for that, and its that a large part of their...

One of the most difficult that I've personally encountered recently was the Aurorean Tiger in I am Setsuna. It looks absolutely brilliant - visually it could honestly pass as a final boss, and I loved its presentation. The battle itself, of course, was fittingly as difficult as a final boss; I...

Same! It was the most irritating I've read in years, seriously. He's not a bad writer; he usually has good viewpoints and articles; he's the reason I've started the Trails series. And then he goes and just... ugh. Why on earth would you review a game you're pre-destined to dislike? That's not...

Video game reviews are, for the most part, kind of ridiculous. The problem with reviews is that video games are too interactive and subjective to easily evaluate critically, unless it's clearly very good or very bad. As a primarily JRPG-focused gamer, I'd like to echo the previously expressed...

As a console and handheld gamer - as well as being someone who prefers retro-style JRPGs above all else - this literally never matters for me. I understand that people want 60 if it's possible, and that's perfectly reasonable, sure. Go with the best you can get, there's no reason not to. When...

I tend to have an intense desire to play one game at a time, and then I'm not actually able to commit to that. It's not to an extent such that I make no progress in any of them, but it becomes annoying knowing that I want to be invested in the story and gameplay of one and at the same time my...

Just got myself a nice new carrying case for my Vita and ordered a new 8GB memory card - I don't remember if I kept my 64GB card. I think I did, but if so, It's still two weeks until I have access to it, and I want to play a few of these games right away, so the 8GB card should arrive Monday...

I'm playing SC as just the Vita release and FC as the Vita download of the PSP version - so, I guess, the best that have been released for the English-speaking market so far. That means I'll have to get the 3rd on PC when the time comes, unless I learn Japanese, but that's probably quite a ways...

I traded in my 2DS XL, all my 3DS games, and all my physical Switch games to start moving my Switch collection over to digital, since I've got a great 128GB microSD for that now. Since I'm an Elite Pro member with Game Stop and did this when there was a trade in deal going on, I managed to get...

So, thanks to the holiday season, I managed to pick up a charge grip, pro controller, and new SD card for my Switch. More importantly, however, I finally picked up a copy of three games I'd been looking at - Rime, Nine Parchments, and I am Setsuna, the latter of which has become my big new...

I haven't touched this game in weeks at this point, but over the course of my break - I still have more than a month off right now - I'll be getting back into it. This has some of the best world design and art of any game I've ever played - and of course I got the special edition so I could...
