Lessons for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Scott’s Thoughts

1. If I earn something, just give it to me. Don’t tell me I earned it, then explain how I have to tap through menus to retrieve my reward. Just give it to me.

2. Crafting is not the best thing since sliced bread. Just because Minecraft was super popular doesn’t mean everything needs to be crafted from now on.

3. Simplify the exchange rates. I don’t want to pay real money for leaf tickets to buy a mining pass to collect gold in order to exchange that for bells so that I can use the bells to purchase digital furniture. The expression is “cut out the middleman,” not “let’s create an army of middlemen.”

Fire Emblem Heroes Impressions & Gameplay

Fire Emblem – gotta catch ’em all! With… your magical bow… that summons heroes from out of space and time…?


Fire Emblem has landed on mobile phones! Doesn’t this seem like such a short time after Super Mario Run? We’re already heading back to the App Store for another Nintendo game. But this time it’s not just for a single transaction, no, Nintendo wants you to bolster your team of Heroes by buying orbs. Can the game be played without spending money, or are you in for a world of hurt against the higher level enemies? Is the game enjoyable with its smaller maps and accessible storyline? Ryan and Scott are here today to talk all about it!

Super Mario Run Impressions

It’s all about them special coins, yo.


Super Mario Run landed on the Apple iPhone and iPad App Store, and hopefully will make its way to Android before too long. It’s not quite the “endless runner” that some people have incorrectly labeled it, but instead is quite the interesting PUZZLE-platformer. This little mobile gem has given us more of a challenge and more enjoyment than we expected, so we’ll break down the whole experience for you in the video to help you decide if the $10 purchase price is worth it.

What We Want: Animal Crossing Mobile

Well Simeon certainly isn’t in the #AC4LIFE club, now is he?!


Animal Crossing is heading to iPhone and Android before March of 2017, so we better hurry up and get our last minute requests into Nintendo so they can direct the shape of the game! Hah, just kidding. But it would be really nice to see the features that we discuss make it into the final DeNA game. Also, will there be a new Animal Crossing Switch game to accompany the launch of Nintendo’s new hardware? Time will tell!

Nintendo Stole the Show with Super Mario Run

Scott was accidently holding on to the bus and eating a sandwich at the same time, and he was NOT playing Super Mario Run. Amateur.


Nintendo took Apple’s stage at the iPhone 7 event and unveiled Super Mario Run! Here are ALL of our impressions.
