Analogue and 8Bitdo Give NES the Bluetooth I Never Knew It Needed
I Beat Super Mario Bros. 2 over Bluetooth, and You Can, Too
The Xbox 360 improved the quality of my console life in two notable ways. Firstly, I absolutely love having all my console games loaded right on the system at any given time. Playing Adventures of Lolo but having to get up and walk over to the NES to switch it out for some Kickle Cubicle? […]
For many people, Stormblood was rather a disappointment and Heavensward was the standard for a good Final Fantasy XIV expansion. Stormblood is by no means a bad expansion, but more akin to a filler episode, no one asked for it, and you don’t miss a lot if you’re to skip the main story of the […]

SideArc Reviews – Persona 5

Hollow Knight Review
Creepy crawlies never looked so good
In the interest of getting it off my chest and to not draw out the anticipation I will say now that Hollow Knight is amazing. A breathtaking masterpiece that there ever was. Let it be known right now that I love this game. Somehow, despite being made by only 4 or so people and on […]

PSVR’s Farpoint Video review, in video format because that’s what all the cool kids are doing.
Steins;Gate 0: The Sidearc Review
El Psy Kongroo and the Curious Case of Hououin Kyouma
Steins;Gate 0 exists on a curious premise. I’d hesitate to call it a sequel, even though it technically takes place after the chronological ending of the first game. Yet it also isn’t a prequel or even a sidequel. A side story might be most accurate for a term but even that would bring about the […]
