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…
During last week’s Nintendo Direct, Game Boy emulation was announced for Nintendo Switch Online members, in line with other consoles like the NES, SNES, and N64. While a who’s who of GB classics were announced in the initial lineup, there were one (or rather, three) conspicuous absence(s) – Pokémon Red,…
My favorite 3DS game was Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. I figured it would be best to get that out of the way now. It was the title I spent the most time with on the system, aside from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. As a result of this extensive exposure,…
The thrilling January 2023 NPD sales report is in, and the scales have been tipped in Fire Emblem’s favor. The seventeenth mainline entry in the series, Fire Emblem Engage, debuted at an amazingly strong #5 in overall sales, ahead of both new games like Forspoken and darlings like Elden Ring…
The remaster of Metroid Prime surprise-dropped last week during a Nintendo Direct, and it’s a gorgeous rendition of a stone cold classic. No doubt countless hours went into refining and remastering the graphics, and the teams behind it should be very proud of their accomplishment – but in the process,…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
We’re less than two months away from the release of the Super Mario Bros. movie, which means the merch bonanza is on the cusp of full force. Prominent toy maker Jakks Pacific has revealed an entire lineup of licensed merch for the movie, which includes the following: 5” posable…
Another WonHobby has arrived and brought with it a boat-load of announcements from GoodSmile. As always there are quite a few video game-related pieces of merch sprinkled in among all the anime, and we’ve picked out all the Nintendo-relevant bits! For starters, the Sonic the Hedgehog Nendoroid is finally getting…
A highly competitive, no holds barred, sports entertainment event was held this last weekend. Though all participants gave it their everything, only one team could stand tall in the end and give a resounding “Ay!” for ayfort. I speak, of course, of Splatoon 3’s latest Splatfest. The results are…
Initially announced on January 31st, 2020, Niantic announced it would begin testing new types of events during February 2020 – Pokémon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour. After testing and user feedback, Niantic combined both events into one and announced what Pokémon and bonuses would be featured in advance. Now,…
Welcome to Super Bowl weekend! Whether or not you’re a football fan, there has always been plenty of highly produced commercials aiming to entertain everyone. It was speculated that The Super Mario Bros. Movie would snag a commercial spot, and while it hasn’t happened yet, a new website promoting the…
Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
The Valentine’s Day celebration continues in Pokémon GO with some sub-events. One will be focused on Limited Field Research Tasks, the other will reward Trainers in the GO Battle League, and both will be taking place during the weekend. We’re now onto Day 2, which means it’s time to battle…
