The Pokopia Effect 😵‍💫

Cozy E — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:07:13 GMT

The Pokemon spin-off game came out March 5th and at the 11th hour I decided: Why not? And bought it! And I can honestly say:

tl;dr Pokemon Pokopia is the BEST Nintendo Switch 2 game purchase I’ve made…

Pokémon Presents 30th Anniversary

BraveBird — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:26:17 GMT

Not a fan of this logo…

It’s time for another Pokémon Presents only this one is on an anniversary year. Pokémon is 30 years old and I am officially feeling old! I can remember playing Pokémon Blue on …

BraveBird — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 01:38:46 GMT

Okay, so the next and already reported as, LONGEST, Nintendo Direct ever in the history of Directs is fast approaching in two days time! At 9am my Youtube Channel where I follow my favorite Nintendo …

I've Created the Next (and BEST) Animal Crossing Game!

Cozy E — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 00:42:12 GMT

NOTE: I’m releasing this post now because it’s rumored that the next Nintendo Direct is scheduled for around September 11th or 12th and just in case the next Animal Crossing makes an appearance, cons…

Go the Distance | Days 8 - 14

Cozy E — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 13:01:10 GMT

This is officially the furthest I can recall going in this game and I’m excited! But, in an effort to keep things short and sweet, here is my journey through just pictures (and maybe a few captions i…

Tiny Bookshop | An Honest Review

Erica Drayton — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 17:02:53 GMT

I first saw this game in the Nintendo Indie Showcase. It was a part of a montage so if you weren’t paying attention you might’ve missed it. I saw the words “book” and “shop” and it was probably the o…

Welcome to Readview | Days 1 to 7

Cozy E — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 13:00:23 GMT

This is, in fact, not my first time playing Animal Crossing New Horizons. I actually purchased the game a few years back but, like so many of the Nintendo Switch games I bought, I played with it for …

Nintendo Switch 2 Unboxing & MK World!

Erica Drayton — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:04:50 GMT

April 9th I was ready to go and I immediately went on the Nintendo website to tell them my “deepest darkest desires!” Okay, it wasn’t that deep. I just told them what version of their Switch 2 I want…

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct!

Josh Louis — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 20:12:06 GMT

When I woke up this morning and prepared my quick breakfast so I could rush to my computer and find my Live Stream YouTuber to get me set-up for watching the Nintendo Direct, I had no idea what would…

Nintendo 2025 Predictions

BraveBird — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 13:47:38 GMT

I don’t usually do these sorts of prediction posts, but it’s not everyday that I’m excited about a new console coming. I’m a grown a$$ woman with a son and responsibilities so my ability to just play…

Nintendo Direct [Predictions]

BraveBird — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 00:39:53 GMT

Dear Fellow Gamer,

I won’t mince words or waste any of your valuable time. You probably won’t even read this as chances are you’ve been inundated (as I have) with YouTube videos from various gamer cre…

It's Zelda Week!

BraveBird — Mon, 08 May 2023 18:35:58 GMT

Hello Fellow Gamers!

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve shared my thoughts on what’s been going on. And with each breaking story I’ve felt less and less like chiming in because

My thoughts might mean ver…

Critics Don’t Understand It. Audiences Love It.

BraveBird — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:01:13 GMT

This just in: Meta Critic and Rotten Tomatoes scored The Super Mario Bros Movie low. Like, really low. But let’s be real for just a second, anyone who thought a movie for a niche fan base was going t…

Pokemon Presents Review - 2023 Edition

BraveBird — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 15:24:50 GMT

Okay. I needed several moments after that to calm myself down. I’m sure people who saw that were hype over Pokemon Sleep cause it’s been one of those rare unicorn things of “where is it?” But I gotta…

Pokémon Day Predictions - 2023 Edition

BraveBird — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 14:01:07 GMT

Pokemon Day last year featured a 14 minute video. I expect a similar length this year.

The GenderLocke Nuzlocke Challenge

BraveBird — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:00:43 GMT

When I first watched a gamer on Twitch doing a nuzlocke challenge I couldn’t understand why someone would want to self-impose rules to make the Pokemon games harder to play. I personally find them th…

Retro Pokemon is Coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2023!

BraveBird — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 23:35:40 GMT

At this point I think it’s no longer a possibility but a foregone conclusion. It would be highly unlikely, and quite frankly, stupid, for Nintendo to not put any of the Gen I - Gen III games on the N…

My Most Anticipated Games in 2023

BraveBird — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 14:01:59 GMT

Hello Gamers,

It’s fairly easy for me to put this list together as my tastes are VERY limited. I know what I like and I know what I’m really not interested in. It also helps that I only have Nintendo …

The Best Nintendo Direct?

BraveBird — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 14:01:38 GMT

First, watching Nintendo Directs is only something I’ve been doing for the last two years. I wouldn’t know what makes a good direct versus a bad one. My bias lies in only being interested in a certai…

Nintendo Direct - February 2023 Edition

BraveBird — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 20:55:55 GMT

Nintendo Very Rarely Changes its Stripes

And yet we always think they will “this time.” How often do they do things out of the ordinary, in the last decade? We can easily predict the next Pokemon game…
