First 4 Figures, the premiere video game statue manufacturer, has announced a brand new “We <3 Kirby” statue for pre-order on its website. Featuring the pink puffball standing on a pedestal and holding a heart with the words We <3 Kirby, it’s a nice little figurine that would look great…
When looking at the Super Mario franchise from a modern lens, one of the most distinct aspects is the parallel existence of both traditional 2D entries alongside the more open 3D iterations. This side-by-side formula didn’t always exist, though; the jump to 3D would need a bit over a decade…
Next week, the original Kanto starters will finally be back together in Pokémon Unite! We’ve known Blastoise would be next in line for some time now, but soon it’ll finally join the fight on Aeos Island. OK, Trainers. Blastoise: September 1.

For being a named, recurring character in the series it’s more than a little curious that Kamek is only now becoming a driver in Mario Kart. Originally planned for Mario Kart 64 before being replaced by Donkey Kong, Bowser’s number one Magikoopa is finally getting behind the wheel in a…
Hot on the heels of Okami’s Amaterasu, Monster Hunter Rise is back with another inter-company Capcom cross-over. This time around it’s Street Fighter – though perhaps not the character you’d expect. That’s right, you’ll be able to dress up as Akuma. While it might seem a bit odd…

Square Enix announced today that the “pixel remaster” of Final Fantasy IV will be coming to mobile devices and Steam on September 4th. This SNES classic is often regarded as one of the best in the series, and the pixel remake looks to enhance the experience with updated sprites, rearranged…
This year has been absolutely insane when it comes to record-breaking auctions for rare video game collectibles. Last month alone saw a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. sell for $114,000, while a unique cartridge of the original Legend of Zelda exchanged hands for a whopping $870,000. It’s surprising, then,…
Update: Umbreon is now available at Build-A-Bear! You can purchase the online exclusive bundle for $65. It was only a matter of time once Espeon joined Build-A-Bear Workshop’s huggable host of Pokémon plushes that we’d be seeing its fellow Gen II Eeveelution. Today, Nintendo Wire is…
The next batch of Hobonichi Mother Project goods have been revealed, and though it’s a modest collection compared to Ness hats or massive Mr. Saturns, they still fit right in as useful items for your daily use. The popular whiteboard calendars are returning for 2022, in both full-size and desktop…
Ship to Shore PhonoCo. is continuing to be a great place for game soundtracks on vinyl and cassette. Bandai Namco seems to think so at least, as the previously released and quickly sold out Tales of Symphonia Original Video Game Soundtrack is making a comeback via an upcoming repress. This…
Last week Tekken producer and living legend Katsuhiro Harada sat down with the inimitable Masahiro Sakurai to discuss a variety of topics, including Sakurai’s inability to drink water (Friendly NinWire Reminder: stay hydrated, loyal readers).
