Another entry for the “curious coincidence… or not?” file today: it turns out that LEGO and Nintendo weren’t the first folks to come up with a LEGO NES that has a sidescrolling Mario feature, because a man named Brandon Jones beat them to the punch by over a year: …
GungHo Entertainment’s online, real-time action-strategy game Volta-X is releasing on Nintendo Switch on August 12th!

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a truly magnificent game.

Back in 1997, Koei Tecmo released Dynasty Warriors for the PlayStation. It was a typical one-on-one fighting game starring historical figures from the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history that didn’t make too much of a splash, yet its sequel, released in August 2000, carved a path into gaming history….
