Dark Rose Valkyrie Review A Rose With a Few Thorns
Platform: PS4
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory International
ESRB Rating: T
Thank You Idea Factory International for a Review Copy of this game.
Dark Rose Valkyrie is the latest JRPG brought to us by Compile Heart and is a collab project from developers known for working on Tales of Symphonia. This game is also one of the few JRPGs put out by Compile Heart that is a brand new IP separate from the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, and even tries some new ideas in terms of storytelling and gameplay. So how does this game fare?
Miitopia Review You Call this a Utopia?!
Platform: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: July 28th, 2017
MSRP: $39.99
ESRB Rating: E
A Review Copy Was Provided by Nintendo
Miitopia is the latest game in the “Mii” series of video games and is one of the first ones to get its own standalone release. Miitopia seems to be an extension of the Mii Plaza game “Find Me” in terms of concept. So how does this game fair now that it was able to be fully fleshed out with its own kind of campaign? Well, the answer to that question may not be what you think, so let’s take a look into Miitopia.

Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5 Dancing Star Night Announced
It seems like there is no breaks on the Persona hype train. At the most recent Persona concert we got confirmation of of not only a Persona 3 Dancing game, but a Persona 5 Dancing game to boot. Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5 Dancing Star Night will be hitting Japan on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita Spring 2018. You can check out the respective trailers:
Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night:
Glad to see we have playable doors in this game, and more Lotus Juice is a treat for everyone.
Persona 5 Dancing Star Night:
Will not lie this one shocked me, I thought for sure Persona 5 Arena would be the first spin off, but this games music sounds on point too.
So 2018 is shaping up to be a big year for Persona fans, with more announcements on the horizon. Will we see some news of the elusive Persona Q 2? Well maybe.

Hey! Pikmin Review A Proper Spin Off
Platform: 3DS
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo of America
Release Date: July 28th
MRSP: $39.99
A Review Copy Was Provided by Nintendo of America
The Pikmin franchise is probably one of my favorite video game series ever, I remember buying a Wii U specifically to play Pikmin 3, and the thing that pushed me over with the Switch was the promise of a Pikmin 4, so when Nintendo announced a new spin off game in the Pikmin series I was extremely skeptical about this offering. After all, we are coming right off the heels of Metroid Prime Federation Force, so my expectations for this game were rather low. That being said, after playing Hey! Pikmin I can say that this game managed to surprise me in many ways.
