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…
The best things in life come in pairs. Sonic and Tails, Nana and Popo and Banjo and Kazooie — just to name a few. Now, two brand new adventurers are ready to platform their way to your heart with Chicken Wiggle. When a nasty witch kidnaps the townsfolk, it’s up…

Yooka-Laylee’s already been running, jumping and collecting out in the wild for a few months now. While other platforms have gotten to enjoy Playtonic’s inaugural, crowdfunded effort since April, the Switch version’s delay has remained a torn page in this particular story. Although no new information about the game was…
Regional Pokémon definitely add to the globally appealing nature of Pokémon GO, but that also limits just who can grab them easily to those places. Europe looks to be getting a chance to access at least one of those that isn’t normally found there, alongside other rare and mysterious Pokémon…
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby — it’s a name you should know; thanks to Nintendo, he’s the star of the show! This month marks the 25th anniversary of his release in America and Europe, and we’ve already seen some celebratory flair. The recent eShop sale and My Nintendo rewards are hopefully just…
Games starring Miis have never been extremely robust, though they are often entertaining. Ever since these little avatars arrived on the scene in 2006, Nintendo has been sticking them just about everywhere it can, from small guest roles in games like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. to starring roles…
What’s red and white? It’s squid ink all over the latest Splatfest! Ah yes, Team Mayo vs. Team Ketchup. It won’t be red and white ink, they said — maybe yellow and orange? Some other color combination with colors we’ve already seen in Splatoon, perhaps? Nope! Why make it more…
The reveals for Fire Emblem Warriors appear to be increasingly regular as we inch closer to its nebulous autumn release. After the announcement of Cordelia and Female Robin a few days ago, word has come in via the game’s official Twitter that two new characters would be shown off later…

Ahead of this weekend’s Mayo vs. Ketchup Splatfest, Nintendo is adding another weapon to Splatoon 2. This time around it’s the Sploosh-o-matic, which was one of the last weapons to be made available in the first game back in June 2015. It’s a fast-firing weapon but not very accurate. In…
According to an announcement tweeted out from the official ARMS Twitter account in Japan, Nintendo’s stretchy brawler will be receiving an update for “balance adjustment.” 速報です！「バランス調整のアップデートを来週の中ごろに実施予定」という情報がARMS協会上層部から送られてきました…！その他にもウレシイ追加の情報もあるとかないとか？続報をお待ち下さい！ pic.twitter.com/Wqr7dib2VM — ARMS（アームズ） (@ARMS_Cobutter) August 4, 2017 The tweet also asks to “please wait for the next report,” but right now it is unclear…
