Having my Whole Nintendo Switch 2 front Page filled with titles I worked on is so freaking cool.

With Shadow of the Tomb Raider shadowdropping on the Switch 2, I might as well briefly talk about my thoughts on the game. It's a good, fun game no doubt but the weakest of the Survivor Trilogy. It doesn't bring anything new to the table other than its setting but it's the most streamlined entry.

In 2002, Samus finally entered the 3D landscape. And so did the Metroids. And the Space Pirates. And Ridley—fuck, everyone's here. Time for another mission. Let's look back on the original Metroid Prime! Link: youtu.be/qRSlTs4GVvg

Here is my review of The Witcher 3: Remastered. With it, my streak of Witcher reviews on my blog continues. It's a nice upgrade that'll ensure this amazing game expiration date won't be anytime soon. Very much looking forward to how Songs of the Past will built on the foundation this remaster set.

It's Saturday which means its 'Wolf posts one of his reviews again' time. Since I'm currently working on my review of The Witcher 3: Remastered it's a good time to go back and see what I thought of the game all those years back when I played it for the very first time. Please, do give it a read!

At long last, I've played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! I had been toying with the idea all year but the announcement of the Ocarina of Time remake sealed the deal. It was, arguably, the last ‘big’ Zelda game I was missing and you can read all about my thoughts in this week's review.

To the few blog readers who follow me on here: Yes, I will review the Witcher 3 Remastered. However, as always, it'll take me a minute. Not only do I have the Saturday shift this week but the 'big' multi-day unnanounced audit at work started today. Time is in short supply this week unfortunately.

Better render for it. You're lucky I like you guys.

Metroid turned 40 this year, so I'm celebrating with a couple of Metroid videos. First up is a review of the fan-made demake of the first Prime game: Metroid Prime Origins. It's free, and everyone likes free, but is it worth your time? Yeah. Link: youtu.be/XMoE8Jo5jKs

I saw the statement from Kojima Productions today — it doesn’t dispute any of our reporting so I don’t have much to add there. But I will add that (as I said a couple weeks ago), the Physint cancellation came after several months of negotiations between KoPro and Sony. Wasn’t exactly out of nowhere

7 orders. 1801 pieces. 2 dioramas. 1 Combat Class machine. Time to get sorting and than... building!

In a week we got 2 back-to-back big new game releases I'm being my usual weird self by reviewing a nearly 20 year old DS game instead. The Legend of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon is a childhood favourite of mine has it stood the test of time? Was it a good game to begin with? Read my review to find out.

The MVP of that this week's Nintendo Direct was handsdown Metroid Ravenous for me. It's looks like a really cool game that doubles down on Dread's ending twist to invigorate the gameplay. Because of this it seemed very appropriate that this week, I'd give a boost to my Metroid Dread review!

Saw this on reddit with the caption "2027 looking good so far" and yeah, I got agree. At least for me personally, I want to play all these games! ... My wallet is going to hate me!😜

This week I've got an Indie game up for review. Coming straight to you from Iceland's Myrkur Games is a fantasy action-adventure game that takes a lot of inspiration from titles such as God of War & Tomb Raider to create a fun, if a bit unpolished, title. Give it a read if you want to know more!

The Zelda one will probably feature: 1. Movie trailer. 2. Trailer & release date for the OoT remake 3. Reveal of Zelda Switch 2 & the Pro Controller 4. Something strange that (almost) no one saw coming I personally would like Twilight Princess and WindWker HD ports... but I doubt it'll happen.

It's the 1st of the month which means another 'State of the Blog' as I used to call it is live. For anyone interested in my little writing space where I talk about video games here's where you learn about all the things coming this month and beyond!

GamesCom is still going at my neighbours in Germany. From all the new & goodies that have trickled out, none have been as exciting to me as those about The Witcher 3; its remaster & expansion. As such, I think taking a look back at my first experience with it is a most fitting repost for the week.

Happy Birthday @bestofaloy.bsky.social!

Wario shakes things violently for personal gain. There hasn't been a new Wario Land since this adventure. Make of that what you will. Let's look at Wario Land: Shake It for the Nintendo Wii! A big thanks to @thehauntedarcade.bsky.social for co-editing this with me. Link: youtu.be/FKoGg5owXb8

The downside of getting back into Lego? Getting ideas that you don't have the money nor time for to execute, yet are so frustratingly tempting.😫 I've never been into 'scary' things but I can't help but imagine a diorama built with the sets (& 1 moc) below & writing an accompanying short story.

Been working on uprading the blog itself this week. I fixed a bug that caused the 'featured post' to appear at the top and now focused on the unwanted bits in preview texts. A small change that took me 90+ minutes this evening because I had to implement the fix manually for. Every. Single. Post.🫤

A lot have already been said about Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, which is why it took me this long to actually play it, but that extra time gave me more perspective that really explains why this is a well-made, but very flawed, title. Do give my review a read if you want to know why I think that.

Coding is NOT my strong suit but some glitches poppped up that needed to be fixed. The mobile layout is now repaired but my first attempt to improve the desktop layout with something brand new has had... unintended consequences to say the least. Whoopsy-Daisy!😅

Let's focus on the good: a more traditional co-op game with a story mode that can also be played singleplayer is a lot more my speed than a 'live-service, always online multiplayer game'. IF this doesn't get canned, and if the price is right, I might actually pick it up.

for the last couple of months, i’ve been feeling aggravated at myself for not playing many of the amazing games that have released so far this year. 🫩❤️‍🩹 i’m trying to shake that feeling away. not every game must be played at release, it’s okay to play later! i’m sure others have felt this, too. 🫂

What the Hell was this. Okay, I know it's Wario: Master of Disguise for the Nintendo DS, but...what IS it? Link: youtu.be/8Zp7NHf1ASg

Another writing update: It took me about a month to write chapter 14. It took me 5 days to write chapter 15. My writing pace is weird you guys!😅
