With the recent announcement that Ōkami 2 will finally see the light of day, it seems that series creator Hideki Kamiya is now able to more freely talk about the origins of everyone’s favorite sun goddess. In a post on Twitter, Kamiya divulged some new information regarding where the concept…
I consider myself to be a pretty big fighting game fan. I’ve been actively following the genre since I first played Tekken on PlayStation as a child. Since 2017, however, my console of choice has been the Nintendo Switch and, as a fighting gamer, things haven’t been too hot. While…
In a very sad turn of events, Nippon Ichi Software has announced via its official website that president and CEO Tetsuhisa Seko has passed away. Seko passed away at some point in the morning of January 24th, 2025, and was 54 years old at the time. Seko had been appointed…
Pac-Man 99, the Battle Royale spin on one of the most enduring arcade games of all-time, has crossed 9 million downloads. While the three 9s might make one think of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, it’s actually just an opportunity for celebration: and to remember that video games really…
The special collaboration Splatfest between Pokémon and Splatoon (to help promote the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet) kicks off a week from now, which means voting is open to all players. Pick between Team Grass, Team Fire, and Team Water to rep your favorite starting Pokémon type. The…
If you’re a fan of Teddiursa you’ve been spoiled lately – not only did the cute teddy bear get a third evolution in Legends: Arceus but it’s also the next Pokémon to get a GO Community Day and even the Build-a-Bear treatment. Better late than never! Now, Banpresto has confirmed…
SNK announced a second Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection for the Nintendo Switch back in August and now we’ve finally heard more about the game – and it launches very soon! NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2 will launch digitally on November 9th and we’ve got some fresh artwork below,…
Pokémon GO’s long-running monthly event, Community Day, turned 4 years old in 2022. Four years means a plethora of Pokémon have been shown off with special, event-exclusive attacks and increased Shiny rates. Yet, for newer Trainers, chances are they’ve missed out on most of these gatherings. In January 2022 (during…
Few games are more cult classic this point than Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the DS mystery adventure game by Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi. Despite a huge amount of love from basically everyone who’s ever played it, the game has lied dormant since its release year of 2010 — until…
Hatsune Miku. Pop idol. Synth software. Leek spinner (okay, it’s technically a green onion). The world is hers, and we’re all just living in it. And while her holy visage has been sold in countless forms, whether in Racing, Snow, or Sakura form, this might be her most divine appearance…
Pokémon has done many a collaboration with Build-A-Bear Workshop at this point, with plush Pokés ranging from Pikachu to Eevee to Gengar. But there has been a slight deficiency in all this — I mean, it’s Build-A-Bear. Not Build-A-Mouse or Build-A-Lizard or whatever. Fortunately, they’re rectifying this most egregious mistake,…
Most Yooka-Laylee fans will know that the series is a spiritual successor to Rare’s classic collectathon platforming series, Banjo-Kazooie, with Yooka developer Playtonic even formed by ex-Rare staffers. According to ex-Playtonic Games writer Andy Robinson, however, the connection between the two series was, at some point, going to be more…
You know, everybody always talks about how as soon as Halloween ends they roll out the Christmas (or broader “holiday”) decorations immediately instead of, like, just chilling in November and getting people amped up for Thanksgiving. And there are multiple reasons for that — Christmas is a global holiday while…
TYPE-MOON is perhaps best known these days for the Fate series but it has a variety of other visual novels in its back catalogue. One of those, Witch on the Holy Night, is heading to Switch next month but if you’re intrigued you can check out a demo now. Witch…
The simplicity and appeal of Witch Beam’s Unpacking is something I’m always happy to discuss. There’s an inherent zen to its pixels and pleasantries, and though it’s a brief experience as a whole, it’s one that’s worth revisiting every now and then. One such occasion would be the game’s one…
