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…

The marketing for AI: The Somnium Files, the latest game from Zero Escape mastermind Kotaro Uchikoshi, has been a bit of a trip so far, involving an elaborate V-tuber ARG unraveling week by week on a fictional(?) YouTube channel. While the internet detectives are still at work on that one,…
The finalists for the 2019 World Video Game Hall of Fame have been announced, and as usual the lineup is stacked with video games of the highest prestige and cultural impact. On the Nintendo side of things, two of its multiplayer monoliths have made the cut. The first is Super…
On this wonderful Friday morning, Ryan Reynolds (Mr. Detective Pikachu himself) posted a new Pokémon: Detective Pikachu trailer on his social media accounts. It’s only a 30-second clip, perfect for commercials and ads, but don’t skip this one. There are a few new scenes mixed into this cut, and elaborating…
Indie Smash-esque games seem to be on a roll with guest characters lately. Brawlout just got a Dead Cells crossover, Shovel Knight is appearing in both Brawlout and Rivals of Aether, and now we have the Right Hand of Doom himself coming to Brawlhalla. Thanks to a deal between Ubisoft…
This year is already looking like a busy year for NIS (Nippon Ichi Software), both at home in Japan and abroad through the NIS America publishing branch. We’ve already seen a couple of big announcements these past few months, and it looks like another may be on the way. A…
Nintendo has released a seven-minute video breaking down the upcoming kit as well as a brief look of what can be done. The full kit comes with six Toy-Cons – VR Goggles, Blaster, Camera, Elephant, Bird, and Wind Pedal. Each creation isn’t limited to one game and can be combined…
Spring’s just arrived, yet it looks like Kirby and friends are already looking towards summer. A new line of blind box figures have been shown off, inviting you all to the Dream Festival! Modeled after Japanese celebrations that usually hit in the warmest season of the year, plenty of old-fashioned…
We play though five frantic minutes of Cuphead on Nintendo Switch. Watch it here:
Nintendo’s flagship store in America has had a busy month — Mar10 Day, the release of Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, and now the upcoming release of Yoshi’s Crafted World.

Included in this batch are the likes of Whimsicott, Flaaffy, Pikachu, Altaria, Mareep, Arcanine, and Eevee. Have a look…
Dragon Ball FighterZ has no shortage of Saiyans in its roster, but rather than bump it up further with some of Super’s additions a (very) familiar face from a different sequel series is coming along. I never expected Dragon Ball GT, the original anime only sequel to Dragon Ball Z,…
