NeoSprint
I was more into Atari's NeoSprint for Nintendo Switch at the beginning of the review period than at the end of it, and that feels appropriate. This is a remake of an arcade game from 1976, and that's how I felt about nearly every arcade game in the '70s and...
As I've mentioned before on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, I'm a bigger fan of Luigi's games than of Mario's. As such, I was really looking forward to re-exploring Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, and it didn't disappoint.Read More
Angry boy with an unfortunate past picks fights until he's chosen to help save the world. We've seen this setup before, but it gets a bit more complicated in Megaton Musashi W: Wired, a recent action RPG from Level-5. Yes, that Level-5.Read More
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak serves as a fresh start. Although some locations, characters, and references will be familiar to series fans of the Trails series, there's very little to this JRPG that will make newcomers feel lost.Read More

It's probably too early to be declaring my 2024 game of the year; there's plenty to look forward to. But having spent upwards of 100 hours on Unicorn Overlord, I'll be very surprised if I have a better time throughout the rest of the Nintendo Switch's twilight.Read More
Do you sometimes go to a restaurant and think, "I really like this place; I should come here more often," then forget about it for the next six months? That's The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered. Let's find out why that is.Read More
Series fans already understand Shiren, so this review is for the rest of you. Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery of Serpentcoil Island is tremendous fun; you just need to give it multiple sessions to understand why.Read More
Clem
Point-and-click adventures have settled into the indie realm. They make sense there, as indie developers usually have more freedom to tell their stories. It's that freedom that makes CLeM such a good game.Read More
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft gives you the first three Tomb Raider games, originally released between 1996 and 1998. These are arguably the best games in the franchise's history, and they're a solid fit for the Nintendo Switch.Read More
