First 4 Figures, the premiere video game statue manufacturer, has announced a brand new “We <3 Kirby” statue for pre-order on its website. Featuring the pink puffball standing on a pedestal and holding a heart with the words We <3 Kirby, it’s a nice little figurine that would look great…
When looking at the Super Mario franchise from a modern lens, one of the most distinct aspects is the parallel existence of both traditional 2D entries alongside the more open 3D iterations. This side-by-side formula didn’t always exist, though; the jump to 3D would need a bit over a decade…
The Germany-based Strictly Limited Games has announced that its next physical release will be for Snow Battle Princess Sayuki, a spiritual successor to the iconic Pocky and Rocky series that originally launched for the Wii back in 2007 before getting a digital Switch port in 2019. If you’re familiar with…
On September 24th, 1992, SNK launched its second fighting game series in the form of Art of Fighting. Originally pitched as a prequel to the iconic Fatal Fury, the game introduced genre elements like its drainable spirit gauge, graphical sprite scaling, and super attacks. To celebrate its recent anniversary, SNK…
The days of licensed games just aren’t what they used to be. Back in my day every blockbuster movie had an awful tie-in pumped out on the Wii like tepid meat sludge and we loved(?) it. But the move to mobile for the market means you just don’t see the…
It’s that time of month again — Fire Emblem Heroes has announced its next big ticket Legendary Hero to summon, and this one should appeal to those who played the game when it first came overseas. Ninian, the timid dancer and (spoiler everybody knows) ice dragon is the next to…
The upcoming animated Super Mario Bros. movie has garnered tons of attention due to its somewhat controversial casting choices, the historically poor track record of video-game-to-film adaptations, and of course, the popularity of the Nintendo brand. Fans are evidently still frantically buzzing about the project if the response to the…
Splatoon 3 is still running hot off the block, with an update coming only a week after the game came out and now a second one coming before the end of the month. Splatoon 3 ver. 1.1.2 drops tomorrow, and the patch notes are already up on Nintendo’s Japan website,…
Everyone seems to be having a fun time with Splatoon 3, and, thanks to a new app update, you can show your friends just how much time you’ve sunk into perfecting your in-game fit right from your home screen. The Nintendo Switch Online app has been updated to version 2.3.0,…
The Pokémon Company is currently holding a showcase of the Pokémon World Ecological Society and as part of the show it’s revealed an all new Diglett form from the Paldea region… Or is it? As Serebii.net reports, the Ecological Society concludes that it’s a new Pokémon altogether. We’ll just have…
The world of games criticism (and even casual discussion of the medium) is filled with “-likes.” Roguelikes, Soulslikes… we call Metroidvanias Metroidvanias because we had two examples to pick from instead of just one. Even first person shooters were once upon a time simply called “DOOM Clones.” The reasoning for…
Over the month of September Nintendo has been updating its Switch Online selection of icon elements with a variety of classic NES sprites and hardware images. With October fast approaching, the fourth, and presumably final, wave has landed. The games featured this time are Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Excitebike, and…
Back in June Capcom Fighting Collection released, bringing a bunch of classic arcade brawlers, and one puzzle game, to Switch. We thought it was quite fun in our review, and now it’s been given a major update! While there aren’t any huge additions, a lot of small tweaks have been…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before — a cozy, wholesome simulator game where you get off a train and live in a town full of cute cartoon animal people. Okay, maybe not the most original premise in the world, but Hokko Life from Team 17 fleshes out the…
