    Digital Down-Low for 06/17/2022: Rehashing the 90s is cool, but rude

    Kicking things off with one of the few games I determined to be "worth commenting on" and NOT based on an existing property this week, we have Lumbear Jack, which fits into the same niche as Untitled Goose Game or Donut County; where an adorable varmint (in this case, a bear) wreaks calamitous...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/10/2022: Jump-Men Can't Kick

    Did you know that in many cultures, the same word is used for "Video Game" as is used for "Corn"! It's probably true! Kicking off this week with a game that was surprise dumped into the eShop last night despite no forewarning of its existence; Lost Ruins! I'm not sure if it's in the same series...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/02/2022: Nobody puts Jimmy in a Power

    Other candidates for the thread title this week (courtesy of Wildcat, Hilene, Teg and Ixo); <madhair voice> Jim Power! Jim Power won't leave us alone Jimothy Powerful, Esq. Wonderboy in the Jim Power Dimension Jim Power and the Soldiers of the Futute The world looks at Jim Power and says "I want...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/28/2022: The Coen bros' classic, "No Madness for Old Marbles."

    That's right, this week we spotlight only the vidiest of games. Games like Touken Ranbu Warriors, which takes the Musou-em-up gameplay of every other Warriors game and attaches it to a franchise I had no idea existed until I started writing this very sentence. The first draft of this sentence...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/20/22: Games for every Tom, Nick and Faerie

    Welcome back to another award-winning* installment of the Digital Down-Low Thread Kicking things off with an unexpected, and delightful surprise of a re-release; Snow Bros: Nick & Tom Special; a remake of one of the better examples of the Single Screen Murd-em-up genre. Sure, Bubble Bobble is...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/14/2022: Hellabaroo

    Well, I've got a movie ticket for... 6 hours and 15 minutes from now. Let's try to get this thread written before then. So we're kicking things off with what is a contender for the longest single title I've had to write for one of these threads; Prinny Presents: NIS Classics Volume 2: Makai...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/07/2022: Does Philip K Dick dream of Electric Peeps?

    Teacher! Teacher! You forgot to assign us homework! Nintendo Switch Sports is the headliner this week, which really should have been the headliner last week, but, well, I missed it because the name and cover-art are painfully generic! This is either a remake, or sequel, or however you want to...
  8. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/30/2022: Mysteries of the Unknown (to me)

    I think the girl from Livin’ La Vida Loca has a bitter, passive-aggressive rivalry with the lady from Killer Queen. The Serpent Rogue, first off, has a *pretty cool* title. And also, it’s got a *real slick* art style, so aesthetically, it’s hitting all the right buttons. What we’ve got here is...
  9. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/22/2022: It's all thanks to the books at your local library!

    Happy Birthday, Drugs! Kicking things off with the crossover event of the century; Neptunia X Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, the long-awaited (or not actively rebelled against, at least) spin-off of the Neptunia series of RPGs and the Senran Kagura series of beat-em-ups. My exposure to both series...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/15/2022: This Far, and No Farther

    Did you hear about all the sports games last night? It was a nail-biter! 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim leads the list this week, both alphabetically and in the sense that it’s the first thing I see in the eShop AND in the sense of being a part of this weeks apparent “protect a thing” theme! It came...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/08/2022: Like Sliders, if John Rhys Davies was Macavity

    I have no access to my laptop and so have to make due tippy- tapping this thread on just my iPad. But it’s a big week, so I couldn’t in good faith leave it to the wayside. So let’s kick things off with the most known property in this weeks new releases. Which is kind of odd as it’s a new...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/01/2022: The Real April Fool was inside us all along

    Well, the main headlining game i was looking forward to this week was delayed at the last minute, and I can’t access my computer room because of renovations, so this weeks thread is going to Wind up being weird to write and full of a lot more spelling and grammar errors than usual. Luckily, it’s...

    Digital Down-Low for 03/26/2022: Nobody puts Baby in a Folder!

    Yeah, news exciting games are out this week too, some of them look pretty cool, one is a highly anticipated new entry in a series I love but they're all tertiary; surplus to requirement. WE GOT FOLDERS ON THE SWITCH, BAY-BEE! FOLDERS! AT LAST! Our long national nightmare is finally over...
  14. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/18/2022: I'm here to Kill Chaos and Be Fantastic. And I'm all out of Fantasy

    Sometimes I have a hard time thinking of titles for these threads, sometimes I have a hard time narrowing it down to one. First and certainly not feast is Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy, a much more actionay adaption (or possible prequel) to the original Final Fantasy that dares to ask...
  15. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/11/2022: They're going to Beat Me! Then I'm going to Beat Them! Oh My Gooooooood

    Video Games? What are you talking about? The video games burned down twenty years ago this very night! We're kicking things off with a game I don't really have any particular expectations for, but which definitely wins the coveted title of "Video Game with the Most Fun Title" this week; Will...
  16. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/05/2022: Don't be a Tri-Angle, be a DO-Angle

    Video games? That's kids stuff. I'm only interested in video JOBS! Kicking things off with one of those games where... I guess there's an untapped market for it, because I can't think of a second example, we have Hundred Days. Which is a city building game, but for a winery. Vineyard Tycoon...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/25/2022: A Treacherous Galaxy Trip

    My favorite part of the internet are the memes. Pretty funny stuff out there with the memes. Let's kick things off by addressing the elephant in the room (his name is Gus, he's taking dictation) Elden Ring is out this week. This is a new game from the peeps what made Otogi: Myth of Demons and...
  18. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/19/2022: True Love Means Never Having to Say "I Don't Remember You"

    Look, some of these games, and indeed the thread title, would have been better served if I made this thread either on or before Valentines day, but I can't be held accountable that the calender is wrong. That's on Hallmark, not me. Kicking things off with sneaky stuff what existed last week...
  19. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/11/2022: There's Nothing Simple or Clean About it!

    Big List, Full Coffee, Can't Lose Okay, we're kicking things off with the premier name in open world COOL SKATEBOARD TRICKS (not involving the unidentifiable man in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series); Olli Olli World, which I infer to lean more on the Skate or Die side of the Rad Skateboard...
  20. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/05/2022: Don't Believe the Lies

    Remember Kids; all top scientists agree; there's no such thing as spiders. This weeks selection is pretty slight, so I'm going to start with what is easily my favorite title; Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2. You may not remember the original Yeah Yeah Beebis, and that's because it didn't exist. That didn't...
