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…

Over the course of 2020, Sega celebrated its 60th anniversary in style, with plenty of merch and even a teeny tiny Game Gear. Now, to potentially close things out, the company is releasing a celebratory album that covers video game sounds from across the decades. I say “sounds” generally because…

Like a free Loftwing, Skyward Sword HD has soared its way upward, perching atop the number…
I’ve been a fan of SNK’s NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection line of games since it began. Even earlier, if you consider it kicked off with SNK Gals’ Fighters before that collective designation was introduced. After that mighty bop of a debut, they’ve been checking boxes off from their fighting franchises….

A new trailer for the upcoming hack-and-slash sequel No More Heroes III debuted during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, and it’s just as bizarre as you’d come to expect from the mind of Goichi “Suda51” Suda. Aliens are very much the theme of this trailer, with a variety of weird and…
Hades’ reputation precedes it, hailed as one of 2020’s finest and a must-play game on Nintendo Switch or PC. If you’re of the collecting disposition and haven’t given it the attention it warrants, today’s Nintendo Direct had a bit of good news for you. Supergiant Games will be releasing a…
