The time has come for a new Star Fox game, and it's...pretty decent! Star Fox Zero makes its debut alongside of the Slippy and Grippy-fest that is Star Fox Guard. Also on Wii U is Blockara, Dreamals, and Pinball Arcade. On the 3DS we h...   read

Shortly after learning about The Battle Cats through a Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation last year, I decided that rather than wait for the 3DS version to possibly get localized, I'd be better off playing the existing mobile game to sat...   read
