Apparently, the same can be said for reference books about the series, as the blue-binded Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia will hit North America in April 2018. Published by Dark…
Sonic Mania, one of the finest games I’ve played all year, is receiving a quality of life update on the Nintendo Switch very soon. One of the biggest issues that plagued the game at launch with that platform was the amount of delay that would come when pressing the Home…

Sometimes it’s because a game came at the right point in our lives; sometimes it’s because its design, gameplay and presentation are expertly crafted; sometimes it’s because something about the game as a whole resonates on a deeper level,…

Typically, the UK’s game charts are pretty predictable, but this week’s update from GfK Chart-Track has a couple of surprises on the Nintendo side of things. For starters, despite releasing a day later and essentially being a port, Pokkén Tournament DX has outperformed the brand-new Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, coming…
After Monster Hunter Stories launched in Japan last year the game saw months worth of free content added. While the western version has seen a few small items added to its DLC menu, it was only a matter of time for some of the more substantial updates to head on…
Released last year to critical acclaim, the indie hit Inside has won over many players with its creepy atmospheric platform puzzling. Now it’s been announced for Nintendo Switch.
