Editor’s Note: Today, September 27th, would have marked the 6th anniversary of Dragalia Lost. To celebrate, we are re-publishing a piece we created for its 5th anniversary. Enjoy, and thank you, Mr. Lost! With the recent announcement that Mario Kart Tour will no longer be getting new content, I’ve been…
Back in the ’90s, Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were locked in what is now commonly referred to as “The Console Wars”—a fierce rivalry between gaming giants that played out through advertisements, lawsuits, and even, in one instance, a public feud in front of Congress over video game violence. While Nintendo,…
There are many reasons to celebrate what Nintendo is doing in the gaming industry from both a creative and hardware perspective (especially when it comes to pricing), and the best place to do so right now is at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. The museum is an entire building…
Editor’s note: The review below has been updated with the author’s full thoughts after playing through No More Heroes 3 after a Day One patch. If you read Ricky’s earlier version of his review-in-progress, I recommend diving in once again, as this full review offers a solid takeaway and thorough…
Last we heard about Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the film had been delayed by two months from its initial September 3rd release date, being shifted forward to November 24th, 2021. This time we have much greater news for those looking forward to the upcoming movie reboot, with not…
Today marks the 30th anniversary of my personal favorite gaming console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in North America three decades ago, the 16-bit glory days brought Nintendo fans a truly stunning and impactful array of titles that forever touched hearts around the world. Personally speaking, I know my…
The hype for No More Heroes III has been blazing as fiercely as a fully charged Beam Katana, with insane promotional material, pre-order bonuses, and new character details making the rounds over the last month. Series Director Goichi “Suda51” Suda has certainly played his part too, discussing the anticipated with…
When I first saw Button City at this year’s Wholesome Direct, I knew it was a game I wanted to play. I’m a big fan of colorful, low-poly art styles, and the premise of a group of plucky kids coming together to save their neighborhood arcade seemed like it would…
The original The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword launched very nearly a decade ago as part of the Zelda series’ 25th anniversary celebration. And while it took us earlier in the long-argued Zelda timeline than any game before and showed just how our ever-reincarnating, tunic-ed hero Link came to be,…
Normally every anniversary that’s rendered in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshot form by Masahiro Sakurai puts a smile on my face. One of the core appeals of Smash is the massive memory lane paved by its represented games, and seeing Sakurai give attention to popular titles and obscurities alike over…
I’m going to get the obvious out of the way now – Eldest Souls is (openly, proudly) inspired by Dark Souls and other games of its well-worn cloth. FromSoftware’s work has had a notable and lasting impact across gaming but rather than some mechanics or a memetic comparison, Eldest aims…
The Loftwings may have only taken flight on Friday, but so far The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has proven itself to be another hit in the franchise’s soaring legacy on Switch. According to Amazon’s current yearly gaming sales charts, the latest remaster of the 2011 Zelda Wii entry…
Mankind has seen some life-changing innovations since the dawn of time. The creation of the wheel, sliced bread, the combustion engine, and now, quite possibly the greatest innovation of them all, the pizza controller. Game Developer Super Louis 64 rigged up a custom controller board and hardwired the buttons to…
Last week, we mentioned that a certain game was notably missing from Masahiro Sakurai’s recurring recreations of games in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Thankfully it was just a slight delay to be tied to a different console launch after all, giving an arcade legend its due after all. Sakurai wasn’t…
Just days after the anniversary of Satoru Iwata’s passing, some previously unavailable Mother 3 interviews have been scanned, translated, and shared. These efforts come from Kody Nokolo and can be found in full on Mother Forever, who are no strangers to Mother 3’s earliest years. The three interviews are dated…
