Smash Suggestion Box - Shantae

Matt Bozon, you gave us a possible tease or push for Shantae in Smash. Well... consider the gauntlet picked up because we're gonna give our guess to how Shantae would dance into the brawl. 

Smash Suggestion Box - Shovel Knight

Shout outs to Brandon Kirdy for requesting the episode! We talk about Shovel Knight this week and how and why he should be in Super Smash Bros for WiiU and 3DS. 

Majestic Twelve - Games of 2014

Many argue 2014 was a bad year for games. And I suppose that really depends on who you ask. I found many worthwhile indie games from Hand of Fate to Shovel Knight were coming out and I couldn't even get to them all. I found the Xbone actually had games on it (though I still haven't bought the damn thing). It was a good year for Platinum as they had three different titles release this year (though one was just a PC port, still counts). Telltale had a good year with three games coming out this year as well (two having concluded and the third just starting). And this was an excellent year for Nintendo with many great games worth owning a WiiU for.

Yes, many games did get delayed into 2015, which sucks. But I actually liked that because it lessened the stress on my wallet during the holiday shopping season. And some of those titles are filling up the early spring games drought that we usually get nothing released in. It's a blessing in disguise that few are thinking ahead for (as usual). All that said, let's get to the best offerings of 2014 (As decided by me). And because I said so, these must be true and if you disagree, you're probably wrong and maybe even some kind of racist (though probably not). 

Reloading: Painting the town red with Transistor

Time to review a game that’s been out for so long, you probably forgot about it. But with the holiday Steam Sale just around the corner… this seems like an appropriate time to get this out. Transistor… here we go! 

Majestic Twleve - Things of Interest on the XBone

I recently did a top twelve game recommendation for the Wii U. And while I made the recommendations without getting paid by anyone and did so because I think it’s a fine console people should try, I’m fully expecting some kind of reflexive response from people sooner or later about how I didn’t do a list for the PS4 or the Xbone (I refuse to call it anything else). There’s a few problems with that… 

BulletPoints - The Problems with Early Access

This is a topic I’m sure many of you have seen elsewhere and discussed a great deal. But since I have yet to weigh in on the topic and I want to keep the blog-posts rolling, why not discuss my take on Early Access games?
