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…
Welcome back to the PAX West Fifty-Game Frenzy, where I run down a grand total of 50 Switch games I played at PAX and you can decide which ones pique your interest! Last time, we covered some of the finer selections the Indie MegaBooth had to offer. And now, we’re…
It’s a new day in the world of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and with it comes some new goods flashier than an electric eel. There might be some undersea pressure to grab it all what with how fresh it all looks, but we’ve got you covered with some squidtilectual insight…
Welcome back to the PAX West Fifty-Game Frenzy, where I run down a grand total of 50 Switch games I played at PAX and you can decide which ones pique your interest! Last time we concentrated in on publisher Ysbryd Games and a couple other odds ‘n’ ends, and this…
Real talk. I like my vidja games ‘gamey’. Not the ‘strong flavor’ kind associated with eating tainted meat. I’m talking the quarter pumping, joystick grinding kind. The kind that pushes one’s reflexes to their limits and hands towards carpal tunnel. Story, character development, graphics (heck, even grammar) can all take…
It’s been over seven years since Bastion released, making its mark in the gaming world. Now it’s time for it to build up that reputation further, making its Nintendo debut on the Switch. I played through it myself back on PC and fell in love with the game. It offers…
So now that I’ve interviewed Suda51, it’s time to confess — I haven’t actually played one of his games before. I’m ashamed to admit it, and it certainly puts my blurry selfie I took with him in a more negative light. While I’m well aware of his status and prestige,…
My favorite time of year is not Christmas, nor E3, nor some third event that falls somewhere between “national holiday” and “gamer news con” — it’s PAX West, a time in which developers big and small descend upon Seattle to showcase their blood, sweat, and tears before the masses. I…
We know the Switch has been selling well worldwide since its early 2017 release, flying off shelves and making for some of Nintendo’s best numbers in years. According to Famitsu, when it comes to the console’s home country, a new milestone has been surpassed. Japanese sales of the Switch have…
Ever since its full E3 2018 reveal, Nintendo has been supplying daily updates to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website. Fighter spotlights, Assist Trophies, Pokémon, new music, and more are all being shown off to get you ready for the biggest crossover around! Let’s have a look at what Nintendo…
Regardless of what types of games I played growing up, sprites are always going to define “video game” for me in a visual sense. There’s something so pure to the medium about pixels coming together — you can even guess when a game was created based on how it looks…
Masahiro Sakurai has released another one of his famous columns in Famitsu, this one dealing directly with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate content shown off in the month’s early Nintendo Direct. Source Gaming has kindly translated the content, which both reiterates the information and adds new tidbits. Here’s a rundown: Sakurai…
Way back in March, Nintendo announced that the GameCube launch title Luigi’s Mansion would be coming back to haunt us this year on 3DS, courtesy of Ever Oasis developer, Grezzo. While we still haven’t received a release date, we have seen the official box art, and it points to one…
