Just before Christmas last week, a native PC port of the legendary Star Fox 64 was released online. Nintendo would likely never create such a thing as it then couldn’t sell more consoles, so this port was brought to us by a dedicated community of fans. The people responsible for…
I’m sure many of you, like me, have had a busy holiday season and may have missed some truly important things. That’s right — I’m talking about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Terra Raid battles! Right now, a shiny Rayquaza is available in 5-Star Terra Raids, but you only have until…
First 4 Figures has been on a roll lately with its lineup of stunning Sonic statues, and now, Metal Sonic is joining the collection! While not many details have been shared yet, a few teaser pictures hint that this will be one of First 4 Figures’ premium resin…
When the meat of Dragalia Lost was revealed about a month or so ago in a special Nintendo Direct, I felt fairly underwhelmed by what was on display. The story seemed cookie cutter, the overall aesthetic didn’t grab me, and the gameplay looked pretty banal. Nothing about the concept seemed…
Before I ever owned a home console, arcades were where my interest in games truly started, with more quarters spent than I’d ever want to sit and count. Within those hallowed grounds of lights and sounds two types of games managed to wring the most out of me: fighting games…
When Shovel Knight released in 2014, it was an immediate critical and commercial success, setting off a wave of praise (and cameos) for years to come. The horned-helmeted hero has grown into such a modern indie icon that he’s become the first indie character to become an Assist Trophy in…
I grew up with a healthy number of classic game franchises, but there are some that I didn’t really get into or understand until relatively recently. Mega Man is one of them — I’ve played the first two on NES, but that’s the extent to which I’m familiar with the…
I like my sports games like I like my Smash Brothers: as wild and crazy as possible. Historically, my roommate and I use these realistic sports simulation games to make the game as ridiculous as we can. Making an entire team of the same player, customizing rulesets to create really…
Welcome back to the PAX West Fifty-Game Frenzy, where I run down a grand total of 50 Switch games I played at PAX and you can decide which ones pique your interest! Last time we kicked things off with a look at some prime Nindies on the way, including ones…
Welcome back to Echo Location, where we speculate about which Echo Fighters could be the next potential candidates for the Smash brothers roster. Last time, the wonderful Ricky Berg talked about both the gooey and the godlike, and next time Logan Plant will once again take the reins. Today though,…
So now that I’ve interviewed Suda51, it’s time to confess — I haven’t actually played one of his games before. I’m ashamed to admit it, and it certainly puts my blurry selfie I took with him in a more negative light. While I’m well aware of his status and prestige,…
We’re diving deep with our Echo speculation this week, bringing in two Sakurai related series for your consideration. There will be no better opportunity to do that with the mastermind pulling out all the stops to make this upcoming title the biggest Super Smash Bros. of them all. Last week…
Up until recently, I had never been one for side-scrolling adventure games. Metroid had never appealed to me, and as fun as it was watching my uncle play through different Castlevania games, I could never really get into them on my own. I dabbled a bit with Samus Returns last…
PAX West 2018 is kicking off today and will run until Monday, September 3rd in Seattle, Washington. Our very own Amelia Fruzzetti is attending the event now and she’s reporting back with a whole boatload of images showing off Nintendo’s presence on the floor. If you weren’t able to make…
We’re back with another installment of Echo Location, where we share our hopes and dreams for potential Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Echo Fighters! After our very own Logan Plant shared his thoughts on a certain bow-wearing pink dinosaur and robotic CEO, I’m here with my first article in the series….
