It was a charming action adventure game that filled the lack of a 2D Zelda title on Switch perfectly. Today Castle Pixel's sequel has landed on the eShop, Blossom Tales ll: The Minotaur Prince! I'm excited to welcome Castle Pixel's own Miguel & Tyler to the house and discuss their new game!

Nintendo has seen huge success with the Switch but transitioning their audience to another system could be a challenge.

After a month with Mario Strikers Battle League it is time for Bryce & I to discuss our thoughts on Next Level Games' 3rd entry in the Strikers franchise. After all the boys excitement did the game meet the hype? Nope. No it didn't. The discussion leads to us talking about Nintendo's strategy of bare bones releases and why we're concerned about their future.

The Artful Escape is described as a narrative-driven, musical, cinematic platformer. While that sounds like an odd collision of genres it perfectly describes what the game is! I (Drew) love Beethoven & Dinosaur's debut game for it's relatable personal journey story told through a stylistic cosmic rollercoaster! This encore I discuss the game and why I think it is so special.
