Go back in your mind to the early days of gaming. The year is 1982, Mario isn’t a household name yet, Pac-Man is taking over arcades, and you’re headed to the store to check out what’s new in the Atari library. Odds are if you were an avid video game…
After having its imminent early access release announced just yesterday, it’s looking like early technical tests for Hades II have begun. Developer Supergiant Games doesn’t want anyone left out of the fun though, so they’re live streaming the technical test in multiple places to make sure everyone can get their…
It’s time to strum those guitar strings to the beat of the Pokémon theme song, as a whole bunch of musical themed goods are making their way to Japan Pokémon Center stores in a couple of weeks. That’s right: Pikachu, Zeraora, and other familiar ‘mon are hitting the stage in…
In just over a month, we’ll be back to rolling with Aiai and the rest of Super Monkey Ball’s cast, and it looks like they’re bringing one more friend along. According to the game’s XBox achievement list, specifically the Way Past Cool achievement, Sonic the Hedgehog could be rolling his…

Shantae and the Seven Sirens is here! At least… on Apple’s new streaming games platform, Apple Arcade, in an episodic format.

When Dragalia Lost was announced, I, like many other Nintendo fans, was skeptical that it would see any modicum of success. It was a brand new IP under Nintendo’s umbrella, and in the mobile market. Say what you will about Nintendo’s other mobile games up to that point, but at…
The marketing cycle for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield has started to get a little more experimental lately – just recently we had a glitched Pokémon turn out to be Farfetch’d’s Galarian evolution, Sirfetch’d. You might want to strap in for the long haul with this latest scheme, though. The…
The next season of the Pokémon anime seems like it’s set to shake up the status quo a bit. As we learned at the start of the month, instead of focusing on a single new region (in this case Galar), it would feature all previous locales. Now, we may have…

We all joke about where certain games will be ported next — you can play a version of Skyrim on your Amazon Echo, for chrissakes — but even then there are some oddball matchups. Case in point: you can now play the first level of Studio MDHR’s masterful old-timey platformer…
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch is a massive JRPG, and it can be rigidly traditional in its systems and menus. Even though the game ends up being pretty user-friendly once you’re used to it, it can take some time to…
