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…
Last Friday we brought you the news that Atlus was advertising Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux with a fake Metroidvania-styled game featuring the franchise’s iconic “Jack” demons. Back then we speculated that it was too polished to be purely fake and it turns out we were right, as Atlus…
While they’re not quite as iconic as the creatures themselves or the simplistic gym badges, Evolutionary Stones are still a staple of the Pokémon franchise, even if they’re rarely merchandised the same way. Thankfully Bandai will soon be changing that, with the announcement of a fancy set of the Thunder,…

Now, over a year later, things seem to be finally progressing. Omega Underground reports that the film is set…
Back at Evo 2017 in July of this year, Arc System Works surprised esports fans with a dream-come-true crossover title that mashes together BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth and RWBY into one 2v2 2D fighter. Back then we didn’t have confirmed platforms for the game, but now it’s…
It looks like big changes are heading to Pokémon GO soon. Dataminers have dived deep into the game’s most recent patch, uncovering several intriguing details.

Splatoon 2’s latest North American Splatfest has come to a close, with the fierce face-off between vampires and werewolves causing countless squid kids to be splatted across the region. Unfortunately for fans of the furry midnight howlers, vampirism has emerged victorious, with an overwhelming 3-0 lead. That said,…
While it’s definitely not the most fondly remembered Sonic game from the early ’90s, Sonic 3D Blast for the Genesis and Saturn saw Sega take the speedy hedgehog in an entirely different direction. Played from an isometric perspective and swapping fast movement for deliberate exploration, it definitely divides opinion to…
EarthBound is a weird, retro game, and even when it was contemporary back in 1994 it hearkened back to pop culture days of old – which means it’s only fitting that the game’s soundtrack is getting a vinyl issue. Ship to Shore PhoneCo. in association with Sony Music Entertainment is…
Last week, Sega uploaded the music for Sonic Forces’ Sunset Heights stage, giving fans a taste of what to expect. Now, a week later, the music has been unveiled for another stage: Aqua Road. We’ve yet to see this stage in full, but you can catch a glimpse…
