After the surprise drop of a Switch 2 reveal teaser, the internet was set ablaze with the information that the Switch successor is actually real and is coming sometime this year. Since it would be incredibly silly to unveil the new console and not give any information, the teaser ended…
Square Enix soundtracks have potentially received even more consistent praise than the games themselves. Often able to capture moods and carry characters, it’s no surprise that for Octopath Traveler my expectations are high at this point. Thankfully, Square Enix is apparently aware of that reputation, and has made it known…
With the third issue of the month releasing, we’re more than half way into the bombastic beginnings of IDW’s fresh run of Sonic the Hedgehog comics. In the previous installment Sonic helped clear out a village of robots with the help of Amy Rose, setting up a pretty solid relationship….
We already knew that the Kirby Dream Train was pulling into the station again, but it looks like it’s coming back in a bigger way than I could’ve imagined. What that means is a whole cargo cart’s worth of goods and enough cuteness to make you miss your transfer is…

Donkey Kong will be making his official debut on Switch when Tropical Freeze comes to Nintendo’s newest console May 3rd in Japan, and then on the 4th in Europe and the US. While you might already be looking forward to the release, it appears as though there may be even…

During Sega Fes 2018 a Mega Drive Mini console, similar to the NES Classic in practice, was announced for release. No word on pricing or release timing beyond 2018, but stay tuned for further developments.
Among the Sonic Mania Plus and Sonic Racing announcements during last month’s SXSW Sonic stream, a new pair of Sonic the Hedgehog-themed shoes was announced, in collaboration with Puma. At the time they were all obscured by pixels, but now they we have a good look at them thanks to…
After previously being announced at Winter Wonderfest 2018, a feature has gone up on kahotan’s Good Smile blog for the 1/7 scale figure of Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s Mythra. Going into the fine detail of the figure’s mold, paint, and other features, the blog post shows off the Mythra figure from…
Last week saw the beginning of a new era for Sonic comics, with publisher IDW taking over and rebooting the series that was once synonymous with Archie. In my review of the first issue I praised it as a solid starting point – throwing in the right amount of fan-service…
Almost a year ago I was in Tokyo for a few days, running around the massive city in the hopes of making a visit to as many Kirby pop up spots as I could. At the time it was a perfect storm, with three events happening simultaneously at three different…
We see something new from the Pokémon Center just about every week. Last time, we saw Litten star in its own line and the store’s keeping that Alolan theme going strong this week — but showing off a Legendary Pokémon this time around. Tapu Koko fans, you now have some…
