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…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s been adding spirits to celebrate either new releases or familiar franchises fairly regularly, but I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this yield. None other than Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, the surprise hit action/farming adventure developed by Edelweiss, is coming to Smash! Again, this is just…
Legend of Mana was not a game I’d ever really heard a word about. I knew of it – the series had to continue somewhere after the SNES era – but people didn’t speak of it like they spoke of its predecessors. Secret of Mana was the 16-bit era action…
Thanks to Reddit user calysunflower, yesterday we saw a brand new Monopoly board game based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Initially spotted at Walmart, the board game is now appearing at Entertainment Earth. Not only that, we have a look at official images for the game as well as details. …
Final Fantasy IX stood out next to its other 3D Final Fantasy contemporaries by embracing the cartoony, “super-deformed” style of the classic entries, giving its characters big heads and exaggerated animations. It seems like Square Enix might have taken note, as it has reportedly penned a deal to adapt the…
One of the most out-of-left-field announcements at today’s Netflix Geeked Week livestream was the reveal of a new animated series set in the Far Cry universe – or more accurately, the Ubisoft multiverse. Captain Lazerhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix follows the tale of Dolf Lazerhawk, a cyborg super soldier in…
The Switch has reached so many milestones at this point that they all blur together a little bit, but gawking at the size of the numbers produced is always a fun time. Case in point: the console has now sold 20 million units in Japan alone. That’s a two followed…
A grand utopian city in a glass bubble, missing humans, and a curious robotic worker drone are the catalysts for Orbit Studio and Super.com’s new retro-future mystery action-puzzler Retro Machina. This adventure, inspired by the works of classic sci-fi authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov, will set players…
Update (Wednesday, May 12th, 2021 at 1:35 p.m. PT): The initial publication of this article mistakenly referred to David Howe as a director of the Castlevania TV series instead of an editor. This has now been amended. Widespread gossip of a Legend of Zelda TV series goes as far back…
Arriving over two decades since the release of its predecessor, New Pokémon Snap is a rather late sequel to the Nintendo 64 spin-off, though that didn’t seem to affect demand for the new title. The game immediately soared to the number one spot in the UK, and according to GamesIndustry.biz…
The makers of Rocket League, Psyonix, are no strangers to marketing partnerships and collaborations. Having held in-game events featuring the likes of Ghostbusters and even the National Football League, a new tie-in with NASCAR isn’t too far-fetched. Previously announced late last month, we knew that Rocket League would be getting…
It’s not often someone can say happy birthday to one of their creations in a completely different creation, but that’s exactly what Masahiro Sakurai can manage with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Last week saw a quartet of games get their anniversaries honored and among them was Sakurai’s very first game…
It’s no secret that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been a massive hindrance to just about every industry on the planet in some form or another. From general commercial industries suffering shortages of basic goods, the entertainment industry delaying films and park openings by months, to some game projects even…
