The Nintendo Switch 2 continues to sell like hot cakes, so peripheral manufacturers aren’t stopping with new accessories for owners to grab. If you’re looking for a stylish carrying case and are a big fan of Gengar, Hori has got you covered. Recently launched in Japan, Hori has a new…
Fans of the classic RollerCoaster Tycoon series will be happy to learn that Atari is finally releasing a physical edition of the third installment of the series for the Nintendo Switch and PS5. While available digitally since 2020 (and currently $7.50 on the eShop), RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition will…
The upcoming installment in Capcom’s flagship horror series has been compared to fan-favorite predecessor Resident Evil 2 by Resident Evil Requiem’s producer. Having acknowledged the similarities between Resident Evil 4 and Village, PC Gamer asked Producer Masato Kumazawa if there is a game he believes Requiem shares DNA with. “I…
The SteamWorld franchise is a toy box for its developers at Image & Form. That’s what I was told when I visited Thunderful, the studio’s new publishing arm set up in conjunction with several other teams, last week. This approach is evident in all of the SteamWorld games so far…
The course of love ne’er runs smooth, but the one thing perhaps more tumultuous is the history of a 130 year old Japanese company. Nintendo has been a beloved manufacturer of video games for around four decades now, true, but there’s a whole 90 years of history from before they…
The original Smash is… how many years old?! Wow, the time sure does fly. Super Smash Bros. is what you might call a game whose legacy precedes itself. Most people, Nintendo fans or not, have either played Smash or at least know what it is. It’s a game that is…
The Ghosts ‘n Goblins series has long held a special place in my life. It was one of the first games I ever played on the SNES, arguably the greatest console of our time. (Fight me!) Completing Super twice for the true ending was practically a right of passage between…
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Character Column, where we run down all manner of royal, ruffian, and rough-around-the-edges rube in a weekly analysis of various characters. Last week we ran down the nuances of Inklings and avatars in Splatoon. This week, I’d like to begin by demanding that…
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Character Column, where we run down all manner of royal, ruffian, and rough-around-the-edges rube in a weekly analysis of various characters. Last time we covered the questions of self-inserting avatars as they pertained to Corrin of Fire Emblem Fates. Nintendo has had no…
It’s the 20th anniversary of a video game that has truly stood the test of time, as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time celebrates a whopping two decades of being hailed as one of the best, if not THE best, video games of all time. The action-adventure title garnered…
One genre that has sadly gone the way of the dinosaurs, it seems, is the wacky, arcadey sports game. I love titles like NBA Street, Daytona USA, and even extreme sports like Tony Hawk and Snowboard Kids. In this day of overly-involved sports simulators full of loot boxes and microtransactions,…
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Character Column, where we run down all manner of royal, ruffian, and rough-around-the-edges rube in a weekly analysis of various characters. Last time we kicked the season off with a look at one of my favorite villains, the horrifyingly complex Porky Minch. The…
While I’m not the resident reverent roguelike rapscallion (that title goes to the superior spelunky savant Matthew Weidner), I do enjoy a jaunt through an ever-changing dungeon or two every now and then. The cyclical design of the genre allows for a perceptible change of skill growth in your own…
It was whispered of only in legend; a long-forgotten series of analysis pieces on various video game characters that once resided on this website — so ancient, it saw the time of the Inquirer. Tidings of its returns have been muttered, yet never come to pass… until this day. For…
Modern video games love stealth. It seems like a large chunk of single-player games that come out have some sort of stealth mechanics, from first-person shooters, like Wolfenstein, to hefty adventures like Spider-Man. Good stealth, however, is not as common. The aforementioned Spider-Man has relatively entertaining stealth sections, but they’re…
