“Miyatomo” Nintendo’s new game on smart phone Miitomo is a few things; charming, quirky, creepy, and weird. You can hook up your Mii from your Wii U or 3DS or make your own for this title. The biggest thing about this is the customization. It’s almost exactly like Tomadachi Life a 3DS sim game with Mii’s. I have never played Tomadachi Life, but I know enough about it, that Miitomo is very similar. Like with all Mii stuff, you have to put a nickname for your Mii. Unlike some of other Nintendo’s product, it doesn’t have a word sensor. So I can easily put in profanity despite the purpose of Miitomo to be a social media for Nintendo but in a game setting. Nintendo is generally very good about sticking to their family friendly audience that it’s a bit bizarre that this is an exploit in the product. Now, Nintendo isn’t too known for voice overs in their games. One it costs too much after a while, and two; never forget Star Fox Adventures. However, Miitomo has voice over

“A song of Conquest and Fate”             Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest is truly an amazing game. I played it after finishing Birthright and I loved how both versions compliment the details of the stories of each other very nicely. Some parts of the story in both respective version had details missing that I wanted to know but were never explained. Both versions help explain it, or even hint how things could have been different if the avatar you made ‘chose’ a different path. Now, when I was playing the games I never saw it as a reference to Birthright or Conquest, but to Revelations, which is the true story which combines elements of the two and have all the characters that are a part of your team in respective versions together. I have yet to get a hold of Revelations, but I know the gist of what it is supposed to be, and I am excited to get a hold of it, hopefully in a few weeks and post my review of it. I loved the differences in both stories, and I honestly found the Con

“A song of Birthright and love”             Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright plays just like Fire Emblem Awakening and that is not a bad thing. I adored Awakening as a long time Fire Emblem fan, I even will go as far as to say that it was my favorite entry in the series, until Fire Emblem Fates came along.             Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright isn’t a complete copy and paste of Awakening; it’s actually quite different in many ways. Birthright introduces new weapons into the series and it’s cool that there’s more types of weapons in the series. The Hoshido, your family from birth, are more feudal Japan-like. Because of this, you get more feudal Japan weapons like: clubs instead of axes, katanas instead of swords, yumis instead of bows, festals instead of staves, shurikens instead of the Nohr counterpart of knives and naginatas instead of lances and more. The variety of weapons and customization was a neat change from the more European style in the other entries in t

            Fire Emblem is definitely one of my favorite gaming franchises from Nintendo along with The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Kirby, Pokémon, Metroid, and Smash Bros. Series. To honor the release of the new entry in the series; Fire Emblem Fates, I’m going to list my top five favorite moments/experiences I have had in the series. This is also to let you know how I feel about the series as I’m playing through Birthrights and Conquest right now and I plan on posting my reviews of them after I complete them. Warning Slight Spoilers: 5. The End of Grima (Awakening) Huge spoiler here, this is the ending in Awakening. Your avatar is given the choice to deliver the final blow to Grima who is you from Lucina’s future, or have Chrom deliver the final blow sealing Grima away. These choices impacted the idea for Fates, and rightly so. Making the choice to seal Grima away would keep the danger you face at bay, but with inevitable return of Grima in the di
