Complications on Corneria: Star Fox Guard review

Star Fox Guard presents a concept that sounds great on paper, but seemingly loses something along the way. Capitalizing on the touch input and two-screen experience of Wii U sounds like a natural fit for the tower defense genre, but Star Fox Guard unfortunately falls victim to its often-overwhelming approach.

A recycled reunion: Star Fox Zero review

Star Fox Zero is the purest entry in the series in nearly two decades. Ditching on-foot sequences and overly complicated plotlines in favor of the excellent ship combat, Star Fox Zero excels at highlighting the finest hours of Fox McCloud and his team. But despite recapturing the Star Fox magic

Most Zelda games open with a colorful burst of exposition and character. A humble beginning, an unexpected hero, and a gaudy green tunic; these things are routine for any tale of Link. Breath of the Wild doesn’t fall into those narrative schematics, though. At the outset, Link awakes, in

Star Fox Zero: Take to the skies with our video preview

Dogfights. Space battles. Helpless toads. Star Fox Zero is shaping up to recapture some of the series best elements. While the game is not set to fly into stores for another few weeks, we’ve put in some time with Nintendo’s latest adventure in the Lylat System and have

Neo-retro gaming on the small screen : Minecraft Wii U Edition

Mojang’s smash hit, Minecraft, is now available for Nintendo’s Wii U. It comes complete with low-res textures, blocky trees and even blockier animals; often referred to as digital Lego, it truly is a game of building and exploring and is totally unbridled from a narrative. Given the game

It’s fun to get lost – Xenoblade Chronicles X review

At long last there’s a game that fully legitimizes my ownership of a Wii U. And I’m not talking about some Mario Bros. spin off, I’m talking about Xenoblade Chronicles X from Monolith Soft and Nintendo. I’ve had my eye on this this spiritual successor to
