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.

SPOILER WARNING: The following article discusses possible upcoming and unannounced content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If you would prefer not knowing about it, we suggest you turn back now! A recent datamine of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has found text strings for what could be two game…
For years now, gamers have known that the smartest, deepest, and most refined plots don’t come from the likes of Bioware or Obsidian — they come from the Kirby developers, who over the past decade or so have begun packing each of their games with a rich lore that would…
IGN, once again muscling their power as the gigante games media company that they are, has gotten their hands on footage from a new stage of Yoshi’s Crafted World titled “Weighing Acorns.” The video showcases both the normal stage and the “flipside” reverse, both of which revolve largely around manipulating…
I don’t think Kirby really registers the concept of time in any way. He eats when he’s hungry, sleeps when he’s tired, and saves Dream Land when it needs saving. He’s had to deal with some wayward celestial bodies, sure, but this is a character whose idea of copying a…
Not many video game characters can say they’ve got their own day, but if anyone deserves it it’s Mario. The key to this is one of two things: that Nintendo’s plumbing powerhouse has been at it for decades and deserves that recognition, respect, and admiration; or he has a name…

It’s almost here… MAR10 Day! Celebrating Mushroom Kingdom’s finest plumber clad in red and blue, this Sunday will be chock-full of Mario news and goodies.

Media is filled with knights and wizards, video games especially, with more than a few games having you create characters that could fall into one of those categories. That said, you probably wouldn’t have expected Splatoon 2 to give you the choice, but this latest Splatfest is breaking genre and…
Just a few days ago, it was announced via Famitsu that the 3DS JRPG The Alliance Alive would be getting a HD port to the Nintendo Switch. Now, the game has an official website in Japan, which has given us our first look at the game running on the system….
There’s no denying that last year’s Octopath Traveler was a success for Square Enix, and the promise of more JRPG goodness came from the dev team. Yet nobody expected we’d see the follow-up so soon – though there’s good reason why, as the newly announced Octopath Traveler: Tairiku no Hasha…
The latest Japanese trailer for Yoshi’s Crafted World has just landed, and alongside new gameplay footage we also get a look at the amiibo functionality within the game! Like we reported earlier, tapping a supported amiibo in Yoshi’s Crafted World unlocks a crafted, cardboard costume for Yoshi to…
