Split Fiction, the latest co-op multiplayer game by developer Hazelight, launched on March 6th to critical acclaim. Shortly after launch, it was rumored that a movie adaptation was in the works for the game and we’ve now received confirmation on its existence, along with one of the stars as well…
As the “Year of Eevee” celebration continues, more and more merchandise centered around the beloved Evolution Pokémon continues to be revealed. Just last week a brand-new life-size Eevee plush was shown off, but that wasn’t to be all they had in store. A new batch of life-size plushies have been…
In a series of posts over on Twitter, former Capcom composer Masakazu Sugimori has suggested that Ace Attorney would not have become a franchise if it were released in the current gaming industry. As he explains, the initial sales numbers were so low that any modern publisher would have completely…

In addition to the new color and bundle news, it was announced that both the currently available black-and-turquoise and white-and-orange New Nintendo 2DS XLs will…
If you’ve yet to do the odyssey and travel around the world with Mario, you might be in luck. Next month, Nintendo of America is set to release a new starter pack bundle featuring Super Mario Odyssey and the game’s accompanying Traveler’s Guide, and it’ll cost the same as the…
The Rathalos Assist/Boss reveal during the recent Direct definitely blindsided me. We’d had the Monster Hunter armor for Mii Fighters and as a franchise it has been fairly associated with Nintendo (or rather the 3DS), but I never would’ve guessed its inclusion. But here we are, with the Monster of…
We only just recently learned that the Kirby Café was coming back to Japan this September, but it looks like it’s going to be quite the return. Chef Kawasaki is joining in the celebration alongside Waddle Dee and Kirby himself, and with this new video we can see how an…
The crumbs have settled, the plates are licked, and all the leftovers have been packed away — the great cutlery calamity of Splatoon 2’s Splatfest has subsided. There appears to have been a shine towards Spoons based on popularity, but once again that’s not enough to secure the true victory….
December always feels so far away, and this year I place the blame firmly on Smash. The turnaround time on this game is incredible, but we still have to wait for it and all it’ll include for another three months. Judging by Amazon’s Best Sellers list though, we’re not the…
The Japanese Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Twitter account shared a very interesting image with campers this morning. In it, it’s easy to spot quite a few grape themed items through the mysterious gyroid face. Have a look: 【ちょっとのぞき見👀】 キャラメルさんがぶどうを見てまヒね～🍇おや、ドレミさんが座っているイスもよく見ると･･･ぶどう柄でヒかね？なんだか秋のおとずれを感じるイベントがはじまる予感でヒ！ 続報をお楽しみに～♪#ポケ森 #ハニワの穴 pic.twitter.com/RYjTNetTcA — どうぶつの森 ポケットキャンプ (@pokemori_jp) August 27, 2018…

It’s no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of both Metroidvanias and roguelikes ever since I was a old enough to coddle a controller. Like peanut butter and chocolate I’d always imagined the two could go together smoothly, despite their conflicting concepts around general progression and character growth. Games…
If you are a fan of the classic beat ’em up genre then one franchise in particular will be pretty high on your list – Streets of Rage. The classic Sega Genesis brawlers stand the test of time thanks to beautiful spritework, fun enemy variety, and, best of all, the…
