There’s no denying Street Fighter’s legacy as a top contender in the fighting game space. One only needs to browse the various Capcom Fighting Collections that’ve been released to see decades of that legacy curated, though if you’re a Nintendo fan you might notice a dropoff around the mark of…
Similar to the Wii U and Switch 1 launches before it, the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch lineup is home to a number of belated ports from third-party companies. While many of these aren’t as old as titles that headed to the former consoles, there is nary a “new” game in…
We’re treading familiar territory in this week’s Nintendo Music update. The soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has been added to the streaming service, joining the existing soundtrack for Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64. Ocarina 3D was a full remake for the Nintendo 3DS, adding…

As excited as I am about the idea of sitting down with my system to game, I’m just as passionate to collect accessories for my system. What does that mean exactly? I absolutely love personalizing my systems — I always have when it’s come to handheld devices. And personally speaking,…
Recently I had the opportunity to preview a handful of upcoming titles at Summer Game Fest. These ranged from ones I’d been laser focused on since their announcement and some that had been revealed for the first time less than 24 hours before my appointed time. The bulk of these…
Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically here, pulling to the starting line of its lifetime with Mario Kart World. The first brand-new console Mario Kart in over a decade, Nintendo has it at pole position for a reason. MK8 is the best-selling title on two systems in a row now,…
We’ve saved the best for last. In the final episode of our Ultimate Home Arcade series, we’re going full tilt into the world of Stern pinball machines! In this video we: Break down the differences between Stern’s Home, Pro, Premium, and LE models Show off some of…
When I think of fighting games, my mind returns to around 2001. Tekken 3 was still in arcades, Soulcalibur II was starting to be spotted in the wild, and there wasn’t a local spot near me that was giving Capcom the time of day. 2D fighters like Street Fighter III:…

The Pokémon franchise has come a long way ever since the days of taking over the world in the late ‘90s. With the 30th anniversary coming up next year, the world and the Pokémon that live in that world have had a long time to develop and grow into what…
Acknowledging the anniversary of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a bit surreal when looking back at its release. To date the title is to also put a firm date on when most people started their experience with lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. The two are inexplicably linked, for better or…
On a trip to Paris, our writer Jaxson Tapp has made a fascinating discovery. Or perhaps I should say: stepped back in time to ten years ago when the New 3DS XL was Nintendo’s latest, greatest handheld. Either way, he stepped into The Lourve to find that his audio guide…
It’s a bit shocking to realize that it has already been eight years since the Switch was released globally. The first Nintendo console to launch around the world at the same time (minus China, which still had regulations in place despite lifting its console ban in 2015), the Switch has…
