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…
It’s pretty amazing what crafty creatives have been able to conjure up with the Lego Super Mario sets and Mario Kart Live Home Circuit. The crafters over at Playfool are especially adept at using the sets to their fullest, having reverse-engineered the barcodes that make the Lego Super Mario sets…
Whether it’s a subtle visual cue in Punch-Out!! or entire hidden stages in Bomberman 64, it’s always incredible when entirely new discoveries are made in games decades after their original release. The latest finding retro discovery comes from Street Fighter Alpha 2, which launched way back in 1996 on the…
It’s been almost exactly one year since PlatinumGames’ President Kenichi Sato and Studio Head Atsushi Inaba told us to expect Bayonetta 3 news coming soon.

Toshihiro Nagoshi has done a lot in his career with Sega. Perhaps most known for the Yakuza series and its spinoffs at this point, he’s also been a part of Super Monkey Ball, Shenmue, and Virtua Fighter. For Nintendo fans though, the most notable credit would be his role as…
Kicking off 2021, Pokémon Sword & Shield’s Max Raid Battles will be focusing on Normal- and Dragon-type Pokémon throughout January. Even better, it’s the perfect time to hunt for Gigantamax Snorlax and Gigantamax Duraludon. Before you go hunting for these gigantic Pokémon, make sure you’re game is up to date…
For the Fire Emblem faithful, here’s some merch you might want to take notice of – Nintendo is releasing some Three Houses merch in late March in Japan, so you might wanna give these items an eyeball. First, are clear pouches styled based on the game’s four houses: Black Eagles,…
Several video game publishers and developers have celebrated the start of 2021 so far, but it’s worth paying special attention to this new piece of Sonic the Hedgehog artwork focusing on the “Classic” variations of the characters. Illustrated by Nathalie Fourdraine, who has provided plenty of Sonic illustrations over the…
Plenty of New Year well-wishes and artwork are pouring in from our favorite games and developers. Among them is a cute little something from Isabelle and company from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Our favorite island employee has gathered with some villagers to make an Animal Crossing zodiac! Though…
We just crowned Hades our Game of the Year for 2020, but how’s this for a prize? Redditor canhazreddit has shared a custom arcade cabinet for Supergiant’s lauded roguelike. Featuring art and characters from Hades on a cab housing a PC, it’s a simple but no less impressive…
It’s customary at this point for game developers to wish a happy new years, but Square Enix tends to pull out all the stops with new artwork. 2021 is no different, with two new pieces being commissioned for the occasion alongside a handful of messages from key members of staff….
Looking back over the last 12 months, 2020 has… certainly not been what anyone expected. Sure, we all had a calendar filled with events, video game release dates, the opening of Super Nintendo World in Japan, birthdays, holidays, and more. Then the world was turned upside down due to a…
As we say goodbye to 2020, it’s time to wish everyone a Happy New Year (and a very “please be better than 2020” Happy 2021!). An unwritten tradition of sorts, check out the following New Year greetings and wishes from a variety of video game companies, including extra special wishes…
