Best First-Party Nintendo Switch Games

As mentioned earlier, the game can get pretty intense with the number of villagers hounding after Leon. Some areas, like the early village sections, are interesting puzzles. Where is the best place to set up shop in order to take the horde out most effectively? It makes the player really th

Updated February 18, 2024 by Mark Sammut: 2024 is underway, and Underrated nintendo heroes has just released its first major exclusive of the year. While Mario vs. Donkey Kong will probably not go down as one of the biggest games of 2024, it is still a solid first-party release that can keep someone engaged until the arrival of Princess Peach: Showti

It’s heartbreaking, with Zelda’s increased trepidation as she marches towards oblivion reflected in her distrust of Link, an aura of royal pretentiousness that inevitably morphs into fondness over time. Link begins his journey as a knight tasked with watching over the princess, but eventually becomes a close friend she can confide in when everything seems lost. It’s powerful, and the fact something this emotionally resonant is told through the medium of discordant flashbacks is quite an accomplishment.


It all depends on whether Capcom decides to double-down on making Resident Evil 4 Remake a more pure action-game in following on the elements that made the original unique to the series, or whether Capcom wants to create a more hybrid experience between action and realistic survival horror. The hybrid experience may be the more likely trajectory, given that in the past, technology made it difficult to capture the realism and fast-paced action-oriented experience in


On the subject of the store, let’s get rid of the random assortment of the same types. There are so many 9MM pistols and shotguns in the game. Buying one only to have a better model come around later feels like the money invested in the previous model to be a wa


Also, given recent revelations from Capcom's Resident Evil 3 design team , the Nemesis villain has been confirmed to have some degree of relation to the Las Plagas parasites in Resident Evil 4 , which mutated nearby villagers and comprised the majority of the game's monstrosit


I can’t play the Spyro trilogy for the first time again, nor can I approach it with the same innocence and sense of wonder that I did when I was ten years old. I still love the series, but games have changed a lot since Spyro first came out. There have been 20 years of evolution and innovation since Spyro the Dragon was made, and I’ve seen how games have been refined and enhanced since then. I’ve changed a lot too. I’m a critic now, and I pick games apart and analyze them for a living. I can revisit Spyro from a new perspective, but now I experience it as an echo of the original - a snapshot of my childh


Initial reports regarding the existence of Resident Evil 8 can be traced back to the website Biohazard Declassified from as early as January 2020 . The original leak claimed that name of the sequel would be called Resident Evil: Village , with the roman numerals 'VIII' hidden in the game's title, signifying that it would be the eighth mainline entry in the franchise. RE8: Village would feature multiple new enemy types including "wolf-like creatures that will attack the player in certain areas," a persistent shadowy female that follows the player similar to Mister X and Nemesis, and multiple witches that hunt Ethan. In terms of location, RE8 starts in a village and leads up to a castle, with a medieval setting and rural, snowy, and mountainous terr

RE4 isn’t the first game to get a VR remake, but it is the first to really capitalize on the nostalgia potential. Skyrim VR, No Man’s Sky, and LA Noire VR are all modified - and in some ways, compromised - versions of modern games, but RE4VR is entirely modernized and enhanced by VR. This isn’t just an alternate way to play RE4, it’s the best way to play it in 2


Announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, Resident Evil: Village is a next-generation exclusive and will launch in 2021. The game will be a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and follows returning protagonist Ethan Winters as he's thrust into a brand new nightmare a few years after Ethan and Mia were rescued from the Baker family by Chris Redfield and Blue Umbrella . Longtime series protagonist Chris Redfield will also return for Resident Evil: Village , teased to be playing a potential villain role and sets off a new chain of events that land Ethan in a mysterious medieval village somewhere in Eur


As we learn more about Resident Evil 8: Village , a significant portion of the original rumors have proved accurate, and while that's exciting news for the next-generation sequel, it gives far more credence to another project rumored to be in the works at Capcom. The success of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 immediately led to speculation that a remake of the genre-defining Resident Evil 4 would be the next game in line after Resident Evil 8 . Based on the Resident Evil 8 announcement, let's take a look at how the rumors stacked up in the end and what that could mean for Resident Evil 4 Rema
