Luigi and Crash are E3 2019 Winners

Every year, media outlets vote to select their top games of the conference and Luigi’s Mansion 3 has won the best Family/Social game. Activision Crash’s also obtained the Best Racing game award for Crash Team Racing.

Personally, I can’t wait to get my hands on Luigi’s Mansion 3. The new game-play elements look fantastic, and the hotel looks bizarre. I’m also interested in Crash Team Racing too, but I’m still undecided whether to purchase it or not.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 Demo now Available

Players interested in the upcoming title Dragon Quest Builders 2 can now download a demo via the eShop. The Demo “gives builders a taste of the gameplay while introducing the brand new story and characters, as they prepare in their battle against the Children of Hargon to bring the power of creation back to the land.” (Press Release)

Have you played the Dragon Quest Builders 2 demo? Will you purchase the game when it releases on Switch next month?

Accessible Fighting Game Coming to Switch

Are you interested in beat-em-up titles but find combos and special moves hard to pull off? If you do, then Fantasy Strike from Sirlin Games may be the title for you. Advertised as a game for everyone, Fantasy Strike allows players to pull off moves with simple button presses. The game is more tactical than typical fighting games for it challenges players to be fast and clever with their brains rather than multiple button combos.

O yes, the game’s designer is David Sirlin, who just so happened to be the lead designer behind Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Fantasy Strike will be available for Switch via the eShop on 25^th July.
