According to some new rumors coming from the Famiboards, it appears as if Nintendo is amping up production of the Switch 2 to meet a theoretically gigantic launch. With no official announcement of the Switch’s successor upon us yet, gamers and industry pundits have been left to speculate on what…
It was confirmed today that Pokémon Horizons will be returning for a second season, exclusively on Netflix! Season 2 of Horizons will debut on February 7th, 2025. As has been the case since Journeys debuted on the platform, the season will most likely be split into parts with about 12…
It’s that time of year again; the air is getting colder, leaves are falling, and the days are getting shorter. All of these signs point to one thing: holiday sales are rolling out! Indeed, it’s the perfect time of year to chip away at your wishlist as retailers everywhere start…
Having recently come off of the Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, I was all too eager to check out the return of the Blue Bomber at E3 2018. Capcom’s booth was split between Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and Mega Man. While waiting through a hybrid demo area and…
During my time at E3 this year, no game stole my heart quite like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I could tell you all about what’s new and what feels different, but for that you can check out our earlier show floor impressions piece. Instead, I’m here to tell you all…
When a sequel is more of a continuation of the first game than an outright successor, its quality is largely dependent on how good its predecessor was. The Banner Saga 2 is hardly a departure from the first game in nearly any respect — it continues the same story, from…
Over the weekend we all took up our rackets, velcroed our visors, and set to serve up some sweet on-the-court action in Mario Tennis Aces. Thanks to the Online Tournament Demo, all Switch owners got the chance to give it their all in Mario’s latest, sporting title. It was all…
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, according to who I assume is some dead English person. The most illustrious, vivid polygons that a man or woman can craft can sometimes fall flat before doofy simplicity and charm — and if there was anything that embodied both of those…
Normally, I like my shooters cute and horizontal, but Ikaruga — a game that doesn’t quite fall under my usual scope — still caught my attention. It was a name I heard again and again as a prime, yet accessible, bullet hell shooter. While I played my Fantasy Zones and…
As somebody with Scandinavian blood in his veins, I appreciate a story with some Norse in it. And The Banner Saga, from Stoic Studio, is about as good as a northern tale as they come, mixing a masterful atmosphere, eloquent prose, and weighty decisions to spin an epic tapestry as…
The Shin Megami Tensei series has always been reliable when it comes to its difficulty, apocalyptic themes, and exploratory nature. This all comes accentuated by hundreds of recruitable demons and characters with varied moral alignments waiting for you to shape the world around them. While they’re consistent when it comes…
Klei Entertainment first launched Don’t Starve in 2013, and in the five years since, the game has exploded onto nearly every platform imaginable. The quirky, Tim Burton-esque survival game has been a huge hit with players, and has earned a spot near the top of my wish list of titles…
While there are many wonderful things about indie games, generally what provides the bulk of their value — especially in comparison to AAA titles — are the uniqueness and creativity brought to the table. Whether it be in a pleasant art style, quirky characters, or unorthodox mechanics, the lack of…
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby. Chances are if you’ve read an article about the pink puffball on here it was written by me, and that dedication and consistency is completely intentional. This is my favorite Nintendo series and character, and even coming off of Star Allies I could go on and on…
Late April is a popular time to release Fire Emblem games, it would appear — after Awakening, Path of Radiance, Echoes, and the very first entry in the series celebrated birthdays just last week, today marks the 15th anniversary of Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade’s release in Japan. How time flies!…
