This newest release contains information about Nintendo’s games…
I didn’t anticipate that I would be writing about a new Sega Genesis cartridge in 2024, but we’re certainly living in some bizarre times. To promote the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, Sega has produced some promotional Genesis cartridges that include EPK (electronic press kit) materials. There’s even a…

It’s right before Memorial Day weekend, which means the same thing it does every year — it’s almost E3 time! Or it would be, if E3 wasn’t cancelled. First, let’s spare some Fs for the fallen conference, gone but not forgotten… we will treasure the cringe compilations in our heart…
Reggie Fils-Aimé is a man both far more and far less interesting than you would think. On paper, he should have a truly remarkable life. Born to the son of Haitian immigrants, growing up in the Bronx, working his way up and across various corporate ladders to become a transformative…

Perfection is thought to be beyond the realm of human attainability. “Nobody’s perfect” goes the old aphorism. It is only understandable — as human beings we are subject to foibles, foils, desire and base instinct that works against our sense of what would be good for us. We all sneak…
The lengths some fans will go to enhance their gaming experience in one way or another is nothing short of amazing, enough to create testaments to the ingenuity of the human spirit. Take this dedicated Switch fan on Reddit, u/snk50, who has made a full on arcade cabinet to play…

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is ready to bring some force fighting back to Inaba! To celebrate the return of this spinoff/sequel to Persona 4, Atlus did a little flexing of their own and sent over a champion-worthy box of goodies to the Nintendo Wire team. Any veteran viewer of the…
