We Played Pikmin 3 Deluxe Hands On Preview Impressions

I originally had Pikmin 3 on Wii U. It was a master class of game design and took advantage of the Wii U’s tablet-style GamePad to its fullest, deftly making use of the dual screen functionality.

What Difficulty Level Should You Play In Final Fantasy Vii Remake

Final Fantasy VII is a cherished game to many fans. Memorable characters and a bombastic and exciting story, underpinned by a battle system that was still traditional among JRPGs at the time, led to a lot of fun.
