With how popular Shantae has become over the years, it’s surprising to learn that one of the games in the series was actually cancelled over 20 years ago. Despite that, Wayforward didn’t give up and would revive the project many years later to create a long-lost interquel for the series….
While home consoles are a widespread and ubiquitous part of the greater video game industry now, it hasn’t always been that way. Video game consoles have their origins from arcade machines, and the transition they made to end up in people’s living rooms was thanks in large part to systems…
As part of today’s financial report for Nintendo, company president Shuntaro Furukawa noted that Nintendo will be considering a price adjustment to the Switch 2 depending on how the situation of President Trump’s tariffs evolves in the coming months. With nobody sure of what the impact will be when Trump’s…
A saga of several months concludes today, with Nintendo of America and partnered contracting firm Aston Carter reaching a settlement with fired QA tester Mackenzie Clifton. Clifton issued a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board back in April, alleging that they were let go from the company for asking…
Fan tributes come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a simple piece of fanart, a complex re-imagining featuring multiple animators, or anything in between, passion can bleed through the proverbial canvas to reconnect us with the art we love. And there may be no better example of that than…
Earlier this week The Pokémon Company shared a bizarre Scarlet and Violet video that, instead of revealing a Pokémon, focused on the new influencer Electric-Type Gym Leader Iona. The video itself posed a question – guess what her partner Pokémon will be from a variety of hints! Well we have…

It’s been 35 long years since Rockman, aka Mega Man, first exploded onto the Famicom/NES. And while the series has had its ups and downs, the series is still beloved the world over, and Capcom is celebrating the anniversary in style. Capcom recently revealed their logo for the Blue Bomber’s…
There’s an urban legend that in Japan, Dragon Quest is so popular that they can’t sell it on weekdays, because too many people would stay home from school or work to play it. It’s a fun, if exaggerated way to communicate just how big the series is in Japan. A…
The second wave of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass DLC is imminent, and while the headliner is new Blade — I mean, Hero Ino — the wave is also adding Challenge Battles, a feature from both previous Xenoblade games where you can take on tough enemies with specific (or unspecific)…
We all love Nintendo games here (obviously), but it sure can be annoying how they never get a price drop. Once $60, always $60, no matter how long it’s been since release. Fortunately, a slim selection of first-party games is getting a pretty chunky 33% ($20) off sale at Best…
You guys ever watch a live-action Disney remake? Movies that tweak a couple details but largely don’t have much reason to exist and whose hyperrealism sucks out a lot of the soul? I’ve always been glad that most game companies don’t stoop to remakes like that, with developers managing to…
