NXpress Nintendo Podcast #183: ‘Luigi’s Mansion 3’ and 'Afterparty'

The NXpress will be losing one of its hosts for the next month or so, but before Rick uses his vacation time from the show, he gives a full rundown Oxenfree developer Night School Studios’ latest title, Afterparty. Apparently, anyone not scared of a little hellish drinking should have a blast trying to booze their way out of the afterlife by beating demons at beer pong. While it hasn’t released quite yet for the Switch, hopefully more information will be revealed soon.
In the main segment, Tim and Patrick are left all by themselves to deliver a full review of Luigi’s latest spookfest, Luigi’s Mansion 3. Did our Patrick’s first impressions hold up? Absolutely. Without spoiling anything, the guys go over the many reasons they believe that this is the richest, most detailed, most puzzle-packed entry in the ghost-busting franchise. While their are those who may miss the haunted mansion, we’re up for an extended stay at this creepy hotel. Nintendo is entering the stretch run for their 2019 releases, but so far it definitely seems like they’ve saved one of the best for (almost) last.
Finally, the last segment finds Tim and Patrick musing on some of their favorite co-op puzzle games of recent years. It’s not a genre with an overwhelming amount of entries, but there are still some real gems that may have been overlooked. For all this and more, have a listen!

NXpress Nintendo Podcast 113: ‘Fire Emblem Warriors' and 'Oxenfree'

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Helen Jones joins us to discuss Oxenfree, single-player, point and click dialog-driven narrative game with a story that follows a group of teenagers who travel to a mysterious island for a day of tomfoolery. It's a game that Ricky has been raving about for weeks, calling it "an astonishingly imaginative, poignant, genre-defying tale of loss, grief, guilt, revenge and time travel wrapped in a ghostly mystery that’s just as dark and disturbing as adolescence". But before all that, Patrick and Rick deliver their first impressions of Fire Emblem Warriors, the hack-and-slash Action RPG video game developed by Omega Force and Team Ninja. All this and more!
