    Digital Down-Low for 03/05/2020: Going Bugnuts

    Let's address the elephant in the room; his name is Derek and he's here taking dictation for this weeks thread. Kicking off with the most inexplicable release, possibly ever in the history of these threads, we have Robotech: The Macross Saga. A gussied up version of the just awful GBA port of...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/26/2021: H*ck in a Handbucket

    Don't be alarmed, but I think these games might be made of videos. We're kicking off this palooka-ville nonsense this week with Rogue Heroes, which you will not at all be even remotely surprised to learn is a roguelite. What's less immediately obvious is that it's also a Zeld-em-up...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/19/2020: A Cap Commiseration

    Big hands, small ribs, can't lose Kicking things off this week with Fallen Legion: Revenants, the sequel to a game which I have purchased a while ago and have still yet to play beyond the tutorial level. I'll get there some day! What we have here is an RPG much like Valkyrie Profile, but with...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/12/2021: MARIO! PEACH! LUIGI! GIANT BOWSER ALL-OUT ATTACK!

    Attention Every People; A Video Game Has Happened. I am here to tell you about it Little Monsters 2 is a spooks-em-up about a w'il kid in a raincoat, and their buddy with a sack-head lost in a nightmare world chock full of creepy broken dolls and tall faceless peeps trying to platform their way...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/05/2021: It's Lovely to Love Your Lovers Lovin'

    Let us all enjoy our 'Tendos this chilly day. We're kicking things off this week with a video game that is actually a CARD game, that accrued some degree of positive buzz when it came out on computers a while ago; Cultist Simulator. Or at least I remember hearing about it before just now, which...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/28/2021: Shadow of the Ninja Gaiden

    Well, not too many new games over the last month. That's because they were all being saved up for this week, apparently. Cybershadow leads the pack this week, *partly* because it was the first thing I saw in the eShop, and mostly because it's the game I'm most excited for for the whole month of...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/21/21: A Tale of New Games: A Rope of Sand Revisited

    Let's see what Mario and all his great pals down in Video Land have for us this week! Hitman 3 is certainly the biggest name new release this week, and, what more, it's on the Switch despite the vast gulf in hardware between it and the other ports of the game! This is all made possible thanks...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/14/2021: Toronto City Ransom

    Well, it's been about a month, let's see if any new video games happened in that time. Starting off with the last couple weeks' arcade games, we've got two! One is Rodland, a single-screen murd-em-up in the Bubble Bobble or Snow Bros vein that I understand to have been unexpectedly popular in...

    What are you spending your eshop gift cards on?

    It's the holidays! I know some of yall are like me, and have gift givers who know you enjoy a video game or two. So naturally they think to get you an eShop gift card. I just procured one myself from Santa (as well as an extra 256gb of SD card space), but have no idea what I'm gonna spend it...

    Digital Down-Low Year End Extravaganza!: The Jingleman Cometh

    It's the last New Games Thread of the year, mainly out of a combination of new releases drying up around the holidays and also because I'm typically too busy to make new threads for the next couple of weeks. So whether you celebrate Squishmas, Candlenights, Festivus, Sumarian Solstice Festival...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/12/20: Gotta Troid 'em All

    My senses can be deceived! These video games may be a blot of mustard, a bit of under-done potato or some undigested beef! There's more of Gravy than of Video about these games! So what better way to ring in the Squishmas season than with a sequel to a game mathematically designed to RUIN...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/04/2020: Strategic Thinking is the Real Monster

    Hey guys, let's Video Games. Shall we? Ponpu is a game that I thought, based on the screenshots, to be a Zeld-em-up starring a little duck, but that ol' bait and switch that is the video game industry tricked me on purpose, because it's actually a Bomberman-em-up starring a little duck. Fool me...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/20/2020: The Five Hundred Thousand Folks Of Monster Alley

    I found a time capsule buried by cavemen over one million years ago in my back yard, and inside it, I found the following message This week is light in quantity but RICH in quality, and splitting the difference between those two extremes is The Serious Sam Collection, a collection of not one...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/12/2020: Slim Pickin's

    Well guys, we've got some new consoles out this week, but I still rely on the eShops Coming Soon tab to determine what I have to talk about, and I don't have any strong inclination to get either a new Playstation or XBox so... umm... I guess we can expect these threads to be more Nintendo...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/06/2020: We Spared No Expense

    Remember to eat all your Halloween candy before you play any of these EXCITING NEW VIDEO GAMES, kids! Kind of a thin week, this week. But we also had a whole bunch of stealth releases after I posted the thread last week, so WHO KNOWS?!?! And first up is Jurassic World: Evolution; a...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/30/2020: Terror Comes to Tiny Town

    I don't want any confusion on this matter; every game I'm about to mention are made entirely out of *videos*. So we're starting off with something I overlooked last week, but should have commented on; Strife! A re-release of a mid 90s RPG/FPS hybrid that I have never heard of before, but the...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/23/2020: Toy War-y

    If you think about it, the opposite of a prospector is an amateur-spector, and that's just another way of saying "ghost". Outpost Delta is how I choose to kick things off this week, since it's the first thing I saw in the eShop that made me go "Oh, okay!". It didn't make me do that super...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/15/2020: Crashing In and Rude // Comes a cry of D00D!

    Man, I thought of a really good intro statement this week and everything. Totally blanking on it now. Oh well. So first off, on everything except Switch (and next week; on Switch) we have Torchlight 3! Torchlight 2, as history has shown, was an extremely good follow-up to Diablo 2 that...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/01/2020: It Isn't Alwas Ysy

    When all you've got is a Forklift, all your problems look like forks that need to be lifted. Alwa's Legacy is the sequel to the excellent, and underappreciated Alwas' Awakening, an explore-em-up that, for one thing, played less like Metroid or Castlevania and more like Solomons Key or Castle...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/24/2020: I Can't Believe It's Not Smash Brothers!

    An entire game made of VIDEOS? Pretty outlandish, if you ask me! Castlestorm 2 is the sequel to Castlestorm (as helpfully implied by the 2 in the title), and while I did NOT play that game, the fact that Zen Studios' output is consistently enjoyable enough that I feel confident in asusming it's...
