Note to Parents: Clayface is rated R here in the USA

Clayface runtime - 1 hour & 48 minutes


Note to Parents: The Ghost in the Shell is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36517689/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg


Cast & Crew (The Ghost in the Shell) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36517689/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1


Number of episodes - 10


Runtime for each episode - 22 to 25 minutes


00:00 - Intro

01:04 - Part 1 Clayface

02:20 - What I like (Clayface)

03:54 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Clayface)

04:52 - Overall (Clayface)

12:34 - Overall (The Ghost in the Shell)


What I like (Clayface)

I like how it has a horror/Frankenstein element to it

I also like how this is a bit of a revenge story as well


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Clayface)

Although it has a horror element to it, don’t expect to be scared


The Ghost in the Shell)

I like that it still maintains some of the style from past entries

Combat/fight sequences were good (some felt like they were taken out of the original anime)


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (The Ghost in the Shell)

I’m somewhat mixed on the decision to go with the manga style for this show

My review of Nioh 3 on PS5 (also on PC/Steam). For gameplay, click here: https://youtu.be/N9gZoCDYsTM


Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #review #videoreview #gamereview #ps5 #ps5gaming #ps5games #nioh3 #teamninjastudio #teamninja #koeitecmogames #koeitecmo 


Note to Parents: Nioh 3 is rated M for Mature (ages 17 & up) by the ESRB - https://www.esrb.org/ratings/40996/nioh-3/


Developed by Team Ninja


Published by Koei Tecmo


00:00 - Intro

04:06 - Pro

06:36 - Cons

07:26 - Overall


Pro

Maintains the solid action combat (along with the graphical options)

I do like that the gameplay takes some pages from Wo Long to Rise of the Ronin 

I do like the idea of switching between the Ninja and Samurai approach in combat


Cons

Mixed in that certain weapons can only be assigned to either the Ninja or the Samurai

My review/thoughts on season 2 of Netflix Devil May Cry


Note to Parents: Netflix Devil May Cry is rated TV-MA here in the USA -  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15716776/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg


Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15716776/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1


Number of episodes- 8


Runtime for each episode - around 30 to 40 minutes


My thoughts on season 1 - https://youtu.be/2rnqMVPifjw


00:00 - Intro

02:56 - What I like

06:24 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

08:30 - Overall 


What I like

The fight scenes in season 2 are good (especially the ones between Dante & Vergil, not to mention the ones with Mundus & Arius)

I do like that Lady/Mary did get some kind of redemption arc in season 2

Better choices of music than the music they used in season 1 (not perfect but better)


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Although it looks like they toned it down (at least from my view), there is still some political message that some may or may not like

In this week's My 2 Cents Nintendo/Gaming video for the week of October 4 to 10, 2026, I share my thoughts on whether Sony could revive some of its old IP. Could we have more than one Xbox? Helix, Platinum talks about Bayonetta's future & August 2026 Circana

00:00 - Intro

04:12 - Part 1 Pro

07:56 - Part 2 Cons

10:46 - Overall


Pro

Runs at 60fps & Higher Resolution (up to 4K in Dock, HD in portable)

Gameplay still holds up well

New addition (Switch 2 version), like the Ether Jet to Amiibo support


Cons

Ether Jet can’t be unlocked until Chapter 4 & reach Bionis Leg Refugee Camp

Although not expansive, the upgrade to the Switch 2 version is $10 (for those who have the Switch 1 version)

Some Criticism from the Switch 1 version still stands in the Switch 2 version

My review of Tales of Arise for the Nintendo Switch 2 (the game is also on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S & PC/Steam). For gameplay, click here: https://youtu.be/MaEojm1srs0


Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #review #videoreviews #switch2 #nintendoswitch2 #bandainamco #talesofarise 


Note to Parents - Tales of Arise is rated T for teens (ages 13 & up) by the ESRB - https://www.esrb.org/ratings/41077/tales-of-arise-beyond-the-dawn-edition/


Developed by Bandai Namco Studios


Published by Bandai Namco Entertainment 


Physical Version - Yes, but it’s a game-key card (55GB)


00:00 - Intro

03:42 - Part 1 Pro

07:16 - Part 2 Cons

09:20 - Overall


Pro

Switch 2 version holds up very well (both in visuals and performance)

Combat is still enjoyable

Switch 2 owners are getting the complete editions


Cons

Game-Key Card aside, the Switch 2 versions run only at 30fps (while some of the cutscenes can run up to 60fps, which to me is odd)

My review/thoughts on the streaming service Tubi


Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #streaming #streamingnow #streamingseriesreview #streamingservices #review #tubi 


Tubi cost: Free


00:00 - Intro

02:14 - What I like

05:58 - What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

09:26 - Overall 


What I like

Its Free

A good selection of shows, movies & anime (especially since they carried a lot of old shows, since some of them may not be available on other streaming services)

Nice that Tubi has original shows & movies (although some of that does come down to your preference/taste)


What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

The live TV part of Tubi is meh

You will have to accept some of the trade-offs for Tubi being free (720p resolution, no offline mode & no ad-free option)

Zelda Direct

https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/the-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-celebration-revealed-in-new-nintendo-direct-presentation/


What I like (Zelda Direct)

The Ocarina of Time Remake looks gorgeous 

Some QOL stuff for the remake (like the day & night cycle to improve controls)


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Zelda Direct)

Outside of the Ocarina of Time Remake, everything else was “meh”

Missed opportunity for announcing stuff like Twilight Princess going to NSO, A new Zelda game in development, or an actual trailer for the Zelda movie


Nintendo Direct

https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/nintendo-direct-reveals-metroid-ravenous-kirby-and-the-world-beyond-and-more-games-for-nintendo-switch-2-and-nintendo-switch/


What I like (Direct)

Persona 4 Remake & Persona 6 are coming to the Switch 2

Far Cry 3 & Blood Dragon are coming to Switch 2

Resident Evil 2,3 & 4 Remake are happening on Switch 2

Some nice (and surprising) announcements, like Metal Slug Ultimate Collection to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Metroid Ravenous & Kirby and the World Beyond were the highlights for me


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Direct)

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is getting a Switch 2 version, but the upgrade will be around $30 (for those who own the Switch 1 version. Also, Switch 2 is a game key card)

No Dustblood release date, nor did we see a new 3D Mario game

Great that Switch 2 is getting good 3rd-party support, but the wow factor will eventually wear off

What I like (State of Play)

Metro 2039 looks good

Konami had some good stuff to show, like Rev. Noir & Rhapsody in Scarlet

FF7 Revelation release date (April 8) plus some gameplay was shown & FF Resonance had a demo release

Although I’m not a Gundam fan, I might try out Rogue Orbit

Good pick for PS classic (Mega Man X Command, Dino Crisis 2 & Ratchet & Clank)


What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (State of Play)

The clip for the upcoming Resident Evil movie seems unnecessary 

Japan State of Play was better

GTA 6

What I like

Actually, gameplay was finally shown

Gunplay looks good

Adult content & humor is still there


What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

No 1st-person view

Doesn’t feel like it's a giant leap and bounds some were thinking
