Now that the Switch 2 is finally out and Nintendo can openly talk about new projects, it seems inevitable that we’ll start to hear about Directs every few months. In the latest rumor from Nate the Hate, it has been stated that Nintendo is planning a Direct stream for July…
With Donkey Kong Bananza set to release this week, it was pretty inevitable that someone would get their hands on an early copy of the game. Since the Nintendo Switch 2 title actually has a full physical release instead of some ludicrous “game-key card” doohickey, that means some lucky few…
That’s a wrap, all you squid kids and Octolings! Hope you had fun out there this weekend inking up a storm during this year’s Summer Nights Splatfest because the event has (sadly) come to a close. Team Sea brought home the trophy without too much trouble from either of its…
It’s Valentine’s Day, and not content to merely spoof Antiques Roadshow, the slate of commercials for Pokémon Legends: Arceus tackles another perennial genre of television, this time romantic reality shows like The Bachelor. With some truly inspired dialogue (“It’s just the sales — somebody’s gotta manage them!”) and…
Dragalia Lost has been throwing holiday themes and royalty players’ way over the last couple months. Maybe you’ve been busy with all the events, or maybe it’s all starting to sound the same. With the most recent Gala Dragalia Remix though, a long present character is stepping out from behind…
There are more Nedoroids than I could ever hope to own available courtesy of Good Smile, with a few Kirby figures being all I’ve picked up so far. That said, I might need to make room for this little guy, a rendition of Hades’ Zagreus in their signature style. It’s…
If one thing has stuck with people after last week’s Nintendo Direct, it’s the site of Kirby holding an entire automobile in his maw. Mouthful Mode managed to make an impact immediately, becoming as memetic as it is adorable. The Japanese site for Kirby and the Forgotten Land gets this,…
Knowing the side scrolling beat ‘em up genre is alive and well warms my arcade-raised heart. Soon to be bumping fists with Streets of Rage 4 and River City Girls will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and a new trailer just revealed the next playable character. Joining his…
When you think about it, the Switch is quite a romantic system, with it actively encouraging the sharing of Joy-Con for two-player co-operation. Then again, if you decided to play Mario Party Superstars you might just ruin any relationship. Nintendo of Europe has leaned into this romantic shareability with some…
Live A Live is still on my mind well after the latest Nintendo Direct. Of all the titles to get a HD-2D makeover, I’d never have expected a previously unlocalized title, let alone one with no ties to a more commonly supported franchise. This standalone SNES-era gem is more than…
A mysterious countdown has been shared by Capcom, presently set to end in six days. No hard details or even hints have been shared as to what it could be for. Assuming it’s a game announcement, there’s also no indication of what platforms would be on board. It’s worth noting…
If you’ve a need to toss a Friend Heart (or maybe something more!) towards someone you care about this Valentine’s Day, Play Nintendo has lent a helping nub. Kirby Valentine cards are available to share, and even print! Best of all, there are some themed after Kirby and the Forgotten…
Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many ways, but perhaps the best of them is with chocolate. Monster Hunter Rise understands this and has taken it a step further by also including a giant spider known for weaponizing its own children. Truly, this is what romance is all about. 📜…
The issue of Nintendo tackling piracy and copyright can be a complicated one (look at the recent situation with GilvaSunner on YouTube as an example), but sometimes the situation seems almost designed to make jokes about it. Case in point — the Team Xecutor case involving the sale of hacked…
The infinite galaxy of adventures is coming to Nintendo Switch. Revealed during Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky is setting its course for Nintendo’s ecosystem this year. While initially critically panned for not living up to its promises, No Man’s Sky has gained a following for its tremendous…
