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…

This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pac-Man. And yes, you read that right: four-zero. Our beloved yellow disc is officially entering his mid-life crisis era, and what will he do to celebrate? Will he buy a motorcycle? A house on a private island? Will he gamble away all…
It’s finally arrived in North America! Cloud-based gaming is surely nothing new, but for Nintendo Switch fans in North America, it’s a whole new beast! Today, Nintendo released its first North American Cloud title in the form of 2019’s smash hit Control. But just how well does it play? Check…
Thanks to Twitters users @PushDustIn and @Sephazon, we now have the full translation for Sakurai’s Famitsu Column #615 (typoed as #651 in the actual text) — where Sakurai himself discusses the inclusion of the newest Super Smash Bros.
