I’d like to preface this piece with the following information: I’ve waited in line 4 times, totaling over 10 hours of my free time, and still have not purchased an NES Classic. I’ve attempted to buy one second-hand without paying more than twice the retail price, with no success. I’ve been on a waiting list at a brick-and-mortar retailer (that I will not name) since the day it was announced, and have not yet acquired a unit. Still waiting on a...
Timothy Wedel gave us a great look into how PlayStation Now works (sometimes), and its an experience that mirrors my own when I gave it a go on the Vita. In short, it has a huge amount of potential and should evolve nicely as Sony continues to put development support into it. Right now, however, it’s not a pleasant experience the majority of the time. Sony put a lot of effort into the system in hopes of it serving as “backwards compatibility” for older...
The details of Nintendo’s new online service are still incomplete. We know it will hit the Switch sometime this fall and the current rumors are a $30.00 price per year in the United States. What that $30 gets you has never really been fleshed out aside from some generalizations about services for matchmaking, chat, and a free game initiative.
![[Opinion] Nintendo's Switch plans are disrespectful to consumers](https://i0.wp.com/levelsave.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/20-nintendo-switch.jpg?resize=375%2C195&ssl=1)
Earlier this week, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch in all its hopeful glory to the general public. This is the second third fourth fifth sixth time since Nintendo’s Switch launch announcement that I’ve felt horribly disrespected and let down by Nintendo. To begin… Launch Title Embarrassment First off, Nintendo announced to the world today that the Nintendo Switch’s biggest launch title, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which is also...
(Author’s Note: All game play shown in this article is my own, captured on Xbox One, and shared via xboxdvr.com) Let’s be honest with each other for a moment. We’ve all played the Battlefield 1 Beta. Judging by internet reaction, captured metrics across all three release platforms, and YouTube saturation, everyone with thumbs that function normally gave Battlefield 1 a shot during the Beta test this past weekend.
I was going through a bit of a change: a new job had me driving an hour each way for training. This wasn’t the worst thing in the world – early mornings were simply made a bit earlier, and late nights a bit later. It’s worth noting this was at Wegmans, a high end grocery store with a cafe inside. Right around this time I was first introduced to Soylent. Soylent, for the uninitiated, is the meal-in-a-bottle food of the future straight out of Silicon Valley...
Ubisoft just announced their latest title, Steep. Steep is a game that lets players do all manners of actives down the side of a mountain. Skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, and more manners of adventure fun all down the mountain. What’s unique about Steep is that it’s world is entirely connected. Skiing down the Alps will let you look up and watch a group of paragliders whisk through the clouds. This is very interesting and very unique, but a lot of the game...
Microsoft just wrapped up their 2016 E3 press conference – what they said would be their biggest event since the launch of the Xbox 360 – and I am sorely unimpressed. What we saw at Microsoft’s conference was cool, sure. Forza Horizons 3 looks beautiful, Gears of War 4 is going to be great, Marcus looks terrifyingly hellish, and all those indie games sure look swell. But our biggest announcements of the day included two new Xbox’s – neither of...
Last night, myself and a handful of super fans were treated to the pleasure of watching Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice a few days early at various IMAX theaters around the United States. I took to Reddit to offer up my spoiler-filled musings from the night before, and you can read them all in question-answer format below. I’ll also be outlining a few of the major plot-twists that happen in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The very bottom of the post also...
Editor’s Note: et’s be honest here, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out 2 months ago. Between that time and now, we had yet to release a review of how we felt of The Witcher Wild Hunt and why you should spend your hard earned money on it. It comes to question, how can you review a game that provides hundreds of hours of content and storyline a week before it comes out? It’s simple, you cannot. You can review the graphics, the musical score, the first...
