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…
Nintendo’s latest shareholders meeting has concluded, and with it marks a major change in the company’s operations. As announced back in April, June 28th marks the stepping down of Tatsumi Kimishima and the promotion of Shuntaro Furukawa to the position of President of Nintendo Co., Ltd. Kyodo News provides the…
It’s been slow-going for Super Mario Odyssey content post-release, which is extra frustrating for those of us who already know what will eventually be released, thanks to datamining reports. Today, a portion of that content is finally getting added to the game — this time, Mario’s new outfit is mirroring…
Capcom is rolling out patches for the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on each of its platforms, addressing some issues with the game that have become known. At the forefront seems to be matchmaking filters, allowing people to remove poorly connected players from their fight searches. And speaking of online…
Oh, that Edmund McMillen. The mind behind Super Meat Boy, The End is Nigh, and the Binding of Isaac is at it again — though this time it’s something a little less controller-throwing and a little more table-flipping. The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls is a new multiplayer card game…
I’ve always loved little details of game localization, both in terms of what gets lost and what gets gained. For Mega Man X5, what was lost were some fairly innocuous but consistent names for its eight bosses, and what was gained was a tribute to one of the biggest rock…
Even with all the big reveals and new information for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during E3, one stood out in particular as a great bit of old and obscure representation. Hailing from Joy Mecha Fight, a Famicom fighting game, comes the repurposed comedy robot — Sukapon! From the game…
Point-and-click games just don’t come around like they used to, and with their ability to tell stories and weave characters that’s a real shame. Thankfully, a notable modern and critically acclaimed entry into the genre is pulling out of the station and heading straight to Switch. The Lion’s…
New promotional images of the Labo-inspired Switch that Nintendo’s giving away have surfaced on Kotaku. Showing off multiple angles of the console — including the Joy-Con, dock, and back of the tablet — you can now view this extremely limited edition up close in all its glory in this gallery:…
In a surprise announcement, Konami revealed that Super Bomberman R would receive yet another free content update, and this is a hefty one. First off, there are ten new characters. They include the following: Solid Snake Big Boss (both are voiced by David Hayter) Raiden Bill and Lance from Contra…
While a plethora of stages from past games in the Super Smash Bros. series will make appearances in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, not every single one will, according to new information coming out of a press-only Q&A session that occurred at E3 this year. The news comes from…
Just as planned Pokémon Quest has made its debut on iOS and Android, almost one solid month after the game first launched on the Nintendo Switch. Check out the brand-new trailer below, showcasing the mobile version with some of the game’s fantastic soundtrack backing it up: Your quest awaits,…
Prepare your paws for a new adventure, as developer Gentlebros Games has announced a sequel to its well-regarded indie game Cat Quest, subtitled The Lupus Kingdom. As the name suggests, it takes the feline protagonist to new dog-run lands, but they aren’t going alone… That’s right, the game…
