Pokécademy – Team Building
Say you want to build a team that’s competitive for Pokémon. Maybe not tournament level, but you’d like to be able to play online and not get wrecked. This article is going to explain in detail how to build a 6-poké team for use in a traditional single battle. All of the Pokémon featured in this team are my hand-raised Pokémon, which I’ve used in battles in the past. Fair warning...

Antiquia Lost – Switch
I’m a sucker for any classic top-down RPG game and this title delivers exactly what I expected. I may of have been overly critical of the gameplay and controls but the plot/story and music had grabbed me and kept me playing for hours at a time (It gets even better towards the end). Even with this being multiplatform, I only wanted to play it on my Switch, (like most games these days). Having it on...
A Tale of Two RPGs: A Brief Analysis of the Mario RPG Franchise
Before we begin, please note that all reviews are subjective and indicative of individual preference. While I have attempted to collect an un-biased aggregate scoring for each game mentioned in this article, nothing is absolute when discussing review scores. Everyone knows Mario. Everyone. The Mario franchise is the best-selling game franchise of all time, with over 528 million copies sold. Howeve...
Infendo Review – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a creative concept, and a game that plays very well. It's biggest shortcoming is that for such a wacky fusion of two different game universes, there really isn't much being done creatively. Sure, there are the aforementioned boss battles and a handful of fun environmental scenes, but overall it feels like a missed opportunity. It's an enjoyable game, it's funny, ...
Infendo Review – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Banjo & Kazooie. ToeJam & Earl. Mario and… Rabbids!? No, this isn’t a parallel universe, and NO, you aren’t having the world’s tamest fever dream. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is very much a real game exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, and it happens to fill a currently very-empty void in the Switch’s gaming library. Not only is this game technically the ...
Remembering the NES’s Forgotten RPGs
Unless they were cool enough for their local Dungeons & Dragons club, there’s a good chance that many gamers over thirty got their first taste of the role-playing genre on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), especially given that the platform had Ultima, Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy on the roster. With the NES back on the market, a whole new generation of gamers has the opportun...
Tuesday Time Warp: Top 10 SNES RPGs
While every system has had its own unique role-playing games, no system has had a deeper, more brilliant selection than the Super Nintendo. Not only did the SNES boast one of, if not the, biggest selection of RPGs, it also carried easily some of the best games the genre has ever seen. From the fantastic stories to the endearing characters, from the addicting gameplay to the moving soundtracks, the...
Fantasy Life to feature online co-op, Streetpass features
With release dates in September (Europe) and October (North America) looming, details regarding LEVEL-5’s highly anticipated RPG/life simulation, Fantasy Life, have surfaced. While a fair bit of information has already been released, LEVEL-5 have now revealed that Fantasy Life will contain very broad online features. The first of many online features is Link Mode, a communication tool that c...
What is your favorite video game genre?
Fighting, role-playing, roguelike, racing, platformers. There are just so many genres in the video game world that it can be hard to pick a favorite. From time to time, I like to think over all the games I have played over the years, and decide which genre suits me best.
New Big Budget RPG For Wii U?
After a hectic ending to the work week, I took full advantage of the three day weekend. I had hopes of finishing TWEWY for the iOS (I strongly recommend it, especially if you have not played the original. Also, I don’t want to spoil but it appears as though the sequel we wanted might be on its way!) although I had almost zero gaming time. In fact, my Saturday was spent watching Notre Dame...
Dragon Quest X revealed as an online RPG – what do you think?
Looks like Dragon Quest X is going to be an online RPG, possibly needing a monthly fee. We had a lot of fans of the DS masterpiece Dragon Quest IX around here when that came out, but now I’m curious to see what you think of Dragon Quest X, coming to Wii and Wii-U. Is this what you want?
