In celebration of the 45th anniversary of the Pac-Man series, Banana Rumble will have new maps, items, and a special ball for the yellow glutton himself. Bananas will turn into pellets, banana…
You may have heard that just a few weeks ago, the Van Gogh Museum announced an exciting collaboration with none other than Pokémon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this Amsterdam-based gallery. The announcement revealed that a series of Pokémon artwork inspired by Van Gogh’s works would be showcased at…
Mario and friends are no longer the sole Lego Nintendo property in existence – Lego Animal Crossing is on the way, as a teaser video this morning revealed. Naturally, it leads us to speculate: what exactly will we see from the collaboration? A leak from a couple months ago suggests…
For me, nothing quite beats the feeling of sitting down to play a classic Super NES RPG. My love affair with RPGs began with Final Fantasy VI (III in North America) all the way back in 1994, and I’ve been hooked ever since. So when SquareSoft and Nintendo decided to…
A few years ago, Nintendo fans would be forgiven for thinking mini consoles were here to stay, with both the NES Mini and SNES Mini releasing to critical and commercial acclaim. Naturally the expectation was for more consoles to come, but since the SNES Mini’s release in 2017 we’ve only…

While the upcoming list of Nintendo Switch releases is a little lean, one publisher that’s more than pulling its weight in terms of upcoming titles is XSeed (subsidiary of Marvelous). The company had a sizable presence at PAX West 2023, demoing a handful of hot upcoming games – and was…
Having attended many a Sakura-Con and PAX West in my day, I’m well versed in the layout of the Seattle Convention Center’s Arch building (which, until recently, was the only building in the Con Center). The largest part of the building’s southern portion, adjacent to the atrium and courtyard, is…
PAX West took place in Seattle this past Labor Day weekend, and while Nintendo was sequestered off in their own little special event in a corner of the convention center, the usual wave of cool little indie titles and third party games descended upon the main expo floor. I got…
“Well, it looks like you know what you’re doing.” The comment from the Nintendo Live exhibitor next to me as I played Super Mario Bros. Wonder gave me a chuckle. I had to hold back a ramble about all the 2D Mario games I’d played before, from the golden oldies…
I never imagined myself beginning a video game article by stating “Paris Hilton was right,” and yet I can’t deny how doggone correct the high-profile media personality was with her 2018 tweet: “We need to get Nintendo Dogs as an app on the App Store!” Slight misnomer aside, Ms. Hilton’s…
