Opinions: Thoughts on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Thus Far
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a series I have yet to actually play — I wasn’t into the company’s characters and mythos back in 2006, and was content with Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 as my gaming ideal for their IP. However, time has moved on, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made me far more invested…
Opinions: Thank you Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2 wrapped up its final Splatfest today, a showdown between Pearl’s Chaos and Marina’s Order.

We’ll see how wrong I am in the months ahead, haha. Let’s begin with the Heroes. Their page is already up on the Smash Bros. site,…
Opinions: Nintendo took all my money with their E3 Direct
I’ve sat here at home in stunned shookness rewatching the Nintendo Direct that aired today multiple times, taking it in. It’s nothing short of perfect.
