How exciting, the Nintendo Switch is coming out March 3rd for $300 USD! Included: * main console * 2x controllers (Left and Right) - Nintendo calls them a "Joy Con" * Joy-Con grip (to which two Joy-Con are attached and used as one controller) * a set of Joy-Con wrist straps * a Nintendo Switch dock (which holds the main console and connects it to a TV) * an HDMI cable and an AC adapter It's pretty cool that it can be charged via USB-C, but 3-6 hours of gameplay isn't a ton. Though I'm sure you could plug it in anywhere. Who else is pumped?

When Square Enix makes a game they go big. And the cast behind the upcoming Nier Automata is no exception. Produced by Yosuke Saito from Dragon Quest X, character design by Akihiko Yoshida from FF XIV, Bravely Second, Little Noah, game design by Takahisa Taura of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance fame and Tekken, Drakengard composer Keiichi Okabe, the list goes on. This game looks like an incredibly fresh RPG. It's great to see something really unique in terms of the world and environment. This game looks like some weird hybrid between futuristic Final Fantasy, Mad Max, Blade Runner and beyond. Check out this incredibly vibey boss battle video from E3 2016.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the fad of 3D remakes, but I understand that those nostalgic for pixels are in the minority. I am showing my age a bit when I say that I did play the original Dragon Quest VIII back on the original console all those years ago, but I'm still excited to see that it's coming out again on the #3DS on January 20. Not content with just rehashing an old game, there are also two new playable characters and more side quests. If you're looking for a lengthy classic RPG with a modern update graphically, look no further.
