Booting up my Nintendo Switch to play Croc for the first time since I was a kid playing it on my PlayStation yielded largely the same results as it did in the ’90s. By World 3’s desert, I was dying repeatedly to seemingly endless pits, cursing out the lantern level…

This Thursday will see BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle update to its 2.0 version, bringing in new characters and content for fans to dive into — in what was one of my favorite fighters back when it was released. It’s only getting bigger since then, and while we’ve touched on its…
