Best Nintendo Switch Games For Family Fun: Disney Illusion Island

Gaming as a family is a great way to bond and spend quality time together. It also gives parents a chance to enjoy game time with their children and make memories that will last a lifetime. Gaming can be a great way to teach kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and competition in a healthy and fun way. In addition to games relieving stress and delivering fun, there are some that provide other benefits that most movies & TV shows don't deliver.

In the case of Disney Illusion Island, your children learn about teamwork, which goes a long way. Not only does it help them understand the importance of being a reliable teammate, but also working with others (like your family). This is a great thing to instill in them at an early age.

So, the next time you're looking for a fun way to spend some quality family time, break out the controllers and give family gaming a try with Disney Illusion Island on the Nintendo Switch.

In Disney Illusion Island, you're playing in an authentic Mickey cartoon with up to 3 other people. Of course, you get to play as Mickey, but also Minnie, Donald, and Goofy as they set off on a quest to explore a mysterious island called... Monoth. The goal would be to recover three mystical books to save the world by way of using the character skills, unlocking special abilities, solving puzzles, and taking down baddies in what Disney calls "epic boss battles". So if you and your family want to take on the challenge, get your hands on Disney Illusion Island... which launches July 28, 2023!

By the way, this is a new adventure featuring hand-drawn animation + an original school from an orchestra.

This game is rated E for Everyone!

SDGT Blips: Tippies - Donald Duck Toy... let's open it up!

Tippies Disney

It's toy time... and I thought it would be fun to unbox a full set of Disney X Bandai toys known as... Tippies.

Recently I grabbed a couple of boxes of these... one box for my daughter, and another for my office because... (come on) why wouldn't I? These toys are 1.5 inches tall, so they aren't too big, but you don't have to position them a certain way... you can stand them up just about anywhere which will allow me to position them in various places in my office (where they won't be gobbled up by clutter).

There are 10 Tippies total, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and all their closest pals in kawaii fashion! They are super collectible, affordable, and cool. If you had these on your desk, you'll probably find yourself giving them a spin no matter how new or advanced you are in the game of... real life.

This time around I'm unboxing (which is more like unbagging) Donald Duck, which is a solid little peanut-shaped toy. It's not fragile... and if you step on it (barefoot)... you'd be the one hurting. Donald is for the Disney fans, but also for the boat and sealife-loving swimmers out there!

Add a boat and place ole... Donald aboard for a cool decor piece or pure fun! 

Enjoy playtime with a spin + tip + twist with Tippies. For Ages 3 to 103+!

Disney... WTH are you doing now?

Disney reportedly planning the sale of their gaming division's FoxNext studio... with CEO Robert Iger wanting to leave the gaming market all together. 

They had Disney Infinity... but decided to pull the plug on that, which caused the loss of 300 jobs... so they need to make their final decision and stick with it.

To be fair they did acquire Marvel Strike Force developer, FoxNext, through the asset acquisition from Fox. It could be a good thing for FoxNext, if they're sold to the right buyer or... able to become an indie developer instead of the studio just being closed. Allowing them to become an indie developer would be the least Disney could do for a developer that has grossed $150 million for Marvel Strike Force by its first anniversary, but... I don't know. According to Bloomberg, FoxNext also has "Avatar" & "Aliens" games in development.

Luckily it doesn't mean the end of Disney games... as far as their properties are concerned, because they can license them out.

John Drake was brought on board to head up their games licensing. So... if they are planning on going strictly licensing-only, they'll be in better hands with a former PlayStation portfolio boss versus trying to figure things out themselves.

I would love to see what certain game developers could do with select Disney IPs.

I think Nintendo could do something wonderful with Mickey Mouse, because they already know how to bring the thunder with adventure games... and he could even be introduced to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fan base in Epic Mickey form.

The original... Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers (Developed by Capcom on NES)... deserves a full blown remake too. Even if it was developed by Capcom, I would love to see what Studio MDHR could do with the IP. This studio developed the run & gun action game... Cuphead. I think they could bring Chip 'N Dale back in an eye catching way (as a platformer of course). By the way... Cuphead is also available on the Nintendo Switch, if you didn't know.

There are all sorts of games that can be made great... with the right studio, but will they ever see the light of day? I can't forget the Star Wars and Marvel universes either, magic awaits!

Is Disney ready to step back into gaming? It's possible.

Disney took a step back from gaming to a major degree... as far as its original characters are concerned, but are they creeping back in? I'm curious if they're ready or not... but I don't see why they wouldn't be.

Disney has some of the most recognizable characters on the face of the earth... and they have backstories to go along with them. Epic Mickey was on the right track, but... I don't know... just like Sonic The Hedgehog... I feel that a major release for Mickey would be better with a blueprint similar to Nintendo. No mystery I have my personal problems with Nintendo, but they usually tend to hit the mark.

They don't have to necessarily have a game developed by them, but take a good look at Mario's success and why he's gone strong for so long. I'm not saying that Disney is embarking on the next AAA title (just yet), but if they watch their step they might find themselves in a position where their games are worth being pre-ordered, day 1'd, or wishlisted.

Here is the trailer for their upcoming title Disney Sorcerer's Arena

This arena-style battler will feature a PvP, Quests, Tower Events... whatever that is, and more. As long as the replay value and fun factor are high... it could be worth the playtime. Let's see what they do with the former Playstation exec to showcase some of that... magic.

They have Star Wars, they have Marvel... and there are so many stories available in both of these universes as well. They just have to take the right steps, make the games make sense, make the stories memorable and don't rush the process. CD Projekt Red is respected for not rushing Cyberpunk 2077.

I don't know what i'd expect for Disney to deliver with the right time and creativity, but they have to remember who they are and the types of cards they hold. Also... they need to show more love to gamers in their Disney locations, that would open another door to showcase upcoming titles (and games can actually be sold there). Free concept... take it or leave it.

They had the Kingdom Hearts 3 pop up... which wasn't permanent, but the more love they show... the better it could be for them. A place to game would cost less than a new roller coaster.
