32, living in SoCal. I’m a lifelong gamer, collector and Nintendo aficionado. I’m a huge Legend of Zelda and Pokémon fan, and I mostly stick to solo action/adventure titles. On my blog you’ll find reviews, first impressions, snippets of my collection, and backlog progress!

As a longtime Pokémon enthusiast, I had mixed feelings about the newest releases Sword and Shield when I started playing them. The game certainly looked beautiful, and I loved the new Pokémon designs, but like so many I was quite disappointed by the news of Dexit. In the end, I loved this game and feel that Sword has taken the franchise in an awesome direction.
I hit a pretty big milestone in my gaming collection recently - a full set of Pokémon core series games! I was missing the original Gameboy version of Gold and when my brother heard that it was the only one I didn’t have, he generously gifted me his childhood copy so I could have the full set.
As a Chicagoland native, getting to run around underneath L tracks while rooting out corruption in my favorite city was a fantastic experience, complemented by varied and interesting gameplay mechanics.
When Super Mario Maker 2 came out, I decided to pick it up right away despite my huge backlog. It was a great decision - like most first-party Switch titles, the game is an absolute blast to play, although it does suffer a little from Nintendo’s frustrating decisions regarding online play.
I’ve finally gotten started on my Zelda Timeline project, and recently completed my first playthrough of Skyward Sword. Maybe it’s because my expectations were low - this game seems to get a lot of hate - but I really enjoyed my time spent exploring Hyrule’s distant past!
As a lifelong Pokémon player, I was initially wary of the changes in the Pokémon Let’s Go games. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a beautiful nostalgia trip through Kanto - albeit with a few caveats.
When I recently replaced the dead battery in my Pokéwalker, I was surprised to find a Pokémon from an old HeartGold save file still in it! It took some trial and error, but I was able to reset the Pokéwalker even though the original save file had been erased.
One of the reasons I love the Nintendo Switch so much is that it’s so much easier for me to find time to play it! I’ve been spending a lot of time on long plane rides lately, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite accessories for traveling with my Switch.
I almost never preorder games anymore, but when I saw previews of Horizon Zero Dawn, I hopped aboard the hype train. So far I haven’t been disappointed - here are my thoughts so far.
Assassin’s Creed II was the game that pushed me back into console gaming after years of focusing only on handhelds. After earning my first platinum trophy for this game, I figured it’d be a great title to write my first review on.
