This article was originally published back in 2017 as part of our Zelda look-back series. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was the very first Zelda game I ever got to experience, and what a good game to start off with. I was far too young to…
Tampering with Pokémon’s movesets may seem insignificant, but for one Japanese man, it could lead to jail time and a hefty fine. According to the Japanese website NHK, and reported originally by IGN, A 36-year-old named Yoshihiro Yamakawa was arrested this week in Kyoto after being caught modifying data in…
A few weeks back, attendees to GDC 2024 shared pictures of Nintendo’s presentation about the development of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. While those photos revealed some unused Wonder Effects from the game, we didn’t get all of the behind-the-scenes details about why Nintendo passed on those concepts or how the…
Kirby’s appetite for desserts (and pretty much everything else) knows no bounds, nor does mine for games starring the iconic pink sphere. He’s earned it too, this being his 30th Anniversary year and all. That’s about all the reason you need to set up something like Kirby’s Dream Buffet, the…
This is part 3 of a multipart review. You can read parts 1 and 2 here. How do you fit 150 hours of game into one review? In one sense, the task is easier than outlined (it’s 150 hours of game in three reviews, technically), but it’s still something I…
Last December, Wytchwood’s fairytale adventure with charming and textured visuals spun spells on Nintendo Switch. Limited to a digital release, at the time, Super Rare Games briefly released it from its digital-only prison with a physical edition in June this year. The time for pre-orders has come and gone, with…
I’ll be upfront here, I had never played a Klonoa game before doing this review. While I was growing up the cute-yet-cool cat/rabbit hybrid always caught my eye in advertisements, but none of his games ever made it to my hands. So when Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series was unveiled earlier…
Monster Hunter Rise still stands as both a favorite and most played game on my Switch. Capcom successfully reinvented the series with Monster Hunter World and went on to carry that momentum with Rise, bringing those quality of life improvements to handheld hunters while introducing some standout traversal and and…
Cuphead made a tremendous, technicolor splash when it was released back in 2017. Nintendo fans had to wait until 2019 to get a taste of that boss rushin’ run n’ gun flavor, but these days they’re some of the most voracious patrons of the game. Thank goodness too, because I…
The classic Sonic the Hedgehog games are no stranger to getting the compilation treatment. Most Nintendo fans of a certain age will fondly remember Sonic Mega Collection with its amazing menu music, huge variety of games, and array of extras, and a few years before that there was Sonic Jam…
Few companies can match Capcom when it comes to the realm of fighting games. Headlined by Street Fighter but supplemented by several genre-mates over the years, anytime these titles come together is cause for celebration. Plenty of compilations from Capsule Computers are already available on Switch, but for once we’re…
Note: The review copy distributed was for the Steam version. Thus, the review may not reflect how the version on Switch performs or differs. I have discovered the truth of this world. And that truth is that AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative might just be one of the…
Growing up as a kid in the early 90’s means that I was, of course, obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My brother and I owned far too many Turtle toys and watched the show religiously. TMNT: Hyperstone Heist for the SEGA Genesis was one of the only video…
Of all the things Nintendo announced back in February, reviving a dormant Mario sports franchise after 15 years was one of the most surprising. Super Mario Strikers has long been one of my go-to GameCube games when looking to get a bit nostalgic with my family, and nostalgia tends to…
There are certain franchises that just seem like they were destined to become fighting games, especially when they have become as strikingly popular as Demon Slayer has in the last few years with its many characters and compelling story. After all, large casts of characters with unique designs who already…
