I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
According to a report from Vooks, it appears as if physical versions of “Switch 2 Enhanced” games will contain the full game and its upgrades on the same cartridge. This follows after a Nintendo UK rep stated otherwise. It’s safe to say that Nintendo has mostly botched the messaging around…
Booting up my Nintendo Switch to play Croc for the first time since I was a kid playing it on my PlayStation yielded largely the same results as it did in the ’90s. By World 3’s desert, I was dying repeatedly to seemingly endless pits, cursing out the lantern level…
Dragon Ball FighterZ is almost here for Switch owners, but on other platforms the anticipation’s all about who’ll be added to the game as DLC at every turn. During Evo 2018, Frieza’s brother Cooler debuted as a fighter and now we finally know who’ll be paired with him in the…
After months of waiting and a brief delay, the first batch of Sega Ages titles has finally hit the Nintendo Switch eShop. These include the side scrolling shoot ’em up Thunder/Lightening Force IV and the original Sonic the Hedgehog. These are intended to be perfect emulations of the…
Early next year, Nintendo Switch owners will be able to dive into the world of Tales of Vesperia, after years of Xbox 360 exclusivity in the west. The re-release includes all of the content from the previously Japan-exclusive PS3 version, like the new party member Patty Fleur. If you’ve been…
After being announced the other night, the latest ARMS update has arrived with some new features, new balance tweaks, and some new art. The focus seems to be on the game now being compatible with the Switch Mobile App for voice chat. It’s not just with Friends either, as it…
Tokyo Game Show 2018 is finally underway in Japan, and Square Enix has brought new trailers for three Final Fantasy games that were just confirmed for Nintendo Switch in last week’s Direct. Handily, the publisher has also released English versions, so let’s give them a look. First up we’ve got…
Book II of Fire Emblem Heroes concluded this past week, with a climax that left players with a resounding shrug. But some of the fiery villains that the story had to offer drew their own fanbases, and now those generals of Múspell are the next batch of banner units coming…
Remember when you desperately asked your friend for 15 bucks to buy the rare Marth amiibo? Oops, that was me. Remember when you got in line at 6:30 a.m. to get the Pac-Man amiibo? Oh wait…. Also me. How about that time when you had one of your best friends…
Companies have learned to profit off of nostalgia since the dawn of the modern age (just look at one Walter E. Disney), but it’s only relatively recently that game companies have gotten a handle on just how to properly exploit people’s fond memories of the past. Sony appears to be…
There have been clothing based Splatfests before, and this latest one pushes the bar to a fashion free-for-all that any squid kid’s sure to perk up for. Leading the charge for style supremacy are Pearl and Marina as always, dressed to impress in their look of choice. Just see for…
If you saw that recently revealed Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle and thought to yourself, “Wow, that’d be great if I didn’t already own the system,” then we’ve got some good news for you. Currently, both the special Smash Bros. Switch Dock and Joy-Con (and even the bundle’s box) are…
Make way for another Splatfest that, try as it might, can’t quite cross the cultural divide. That doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it best we can from here, and see how Pearl and Marina set themselves up for the occasion. Splatoon 2 wants to know how people like their red…
Welcome back to the PAX West Fifty-Game Frenzy, where I run down a grand total of 50 Switch games I played at PAX and you can decide which ones pique your interest! Last time we saw what Merge Games and Inti Creates had to offer at the show. This time,…
