DAEMON X MACHINA (NSW) E3 2019 Trailer

It was a year ago at E3 2018 that DAEMON X MACHINA was shown off as the first game in Nintendo's Direct. Now, the game approaches with a September 13th release date and a bevy of notable improvements made from the beta late last year. Listening to criticism and feedback, the developers of DAEMON X MACHINA have fixed the framerate of the game, thrown in a slew of gameplay fixes, and made enemies more easily visible. For mech fans, this Nintendo Switch exclusive is set to bring high octane action whether at home or on the go.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (NSW) E3 2019 Trailer

The title of this port for this RPG might be longer to say than it is to finish the actual game! Okay, okay. That's quite the exaggeration, but you get the gist. Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of the Elusive Age - Definitive Edition brings with it a combo of both the PS4's goodies and the Japan-exclusive Nintendo 3DS content. You can switch between the 3D gameplay and the classic 2D sprite goodness at your leisure, just like you can with the MIDI and orchestral scores. Additional story content, episodes, and quality of life upgrades definitely make this Definitive Edition of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of the Elusive Age... well, definitive!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (NSW) E3 2019 Reveal Trailer

Hey all. E3 is already underway, which means your good friend Phil is sifting through hours of gameplay vids to present to you the best of the best of E3 2019. Well, your mileage may vary on what I consider the best of the best, of course!

Our first game is the highly anticipated Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The initial announcement trailer featured a mere tease with an ambiguous "2019" release year. However, this reveal trailer officially shows a delay in the game, launching March 20, 2020. I'm already excited by what I've seen in this trailer, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.. er... deserted island, in this case! Check out the full trailer below and let the SPC community know what you think about it!

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (PS4, XB1, NSW, PC) Reveal Trailer

Eschewing the 3D platforming playgrounds that were clearly an ode to Banjo-Kazooie and games of that nature, Yooka-Laylee's next adventure takes after Donkey Kong Country this time around, another Rare darling from the past. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair takes the franchise to 2D platforming fun and some top-down overworld goodness as well. Check out the reveal trailer below and look forward to the next title in Playtonic's franchise later this year!

SuperPhillip Central Celebrates 11 Wonderful Years Online!

Today, June 5th, 2019 is SuperPhillip Central's 11-year anniversary! Yes, it was 11 years ago today in 2008 that SuperPhillip Central was born, posting amateur reviews and some really silly hot takes in the process. Thankfully, the quality of the reviews and takes has improved quite considerably since then! ...But your mileage may vary on that!

While the site's amount of content has lowered significantly since the first nine years--as one could expect from doing 300+ articles/reviews/etc per year for nine straight years each weekday--I do wish to continue my writing here. It's still fun to do in moderation, and I hope you'll continue to stick with me until I finally call an end to things on the site.

I don't have too special of a post planned for later tonight for our anniversary like I have in the past. However, we will be celebrating with a review of a game that recently saw its eleventh outing launch. Please look forward to that, and please keep on enjoying this site like I enjoy providing content for each and every one of you to read!

I'm always open to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how I can improve SuperPhillip Central, or just whether or not you like the content I provide.

Until later tonight, see you around!
