About Kirk Hiner

Raised on Intellivision and Star Frontiers, I've been a gamer since I was old enough to say, "There's nothing on TV." There's still nothing on TV so I'm still playing games, and I likely will be until I'm able to retire to Wuhu Island.

Review: Trombone Champ (Nintendo Switch)

Trombone Champ doesn’t really want you to become good at it. In some songs, I’d argue it doesn’t even let you. The songs feel more like slapstick comedy sound queues, and that means the game is more fun to play with your (band) mates.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba­- Sweep the Board! announced for Switch

Because…why not? Why not take the heart-wrenching, bloody, brutal adventures of Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado and mash them up with the joyful, innocent, childlike board games of Mario and Peach? To question it is to question the worlds of anime and Nintendo themselves.
