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…

The still-enigmatic No More Heroes spin-off Travis Strikes Again has already had several indie games references, from Dead Cells to Shovel Knight, and now we can add another to the pile. A tweet from Nintendo of Europe revealed Travis will be able to sport a shirt featuring artwork from the…
Switch ports seem to have a history of weird leaks and reveals. The perfectly named Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered has now fallen into the same boat as games like Paladins and Fortnite, with dataminers finding hints of what may possibly be a Switch port.

Some of my favorite memories of Japan are tied directly to the limited Kirby Café that ran during the summer of 2016. I vacationed in Osaka and got to have multiple meals at the temporary establishment and tasted plenty of Dream Land delights. Now if you just happened to be…
