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…
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was one of Wii U’s best kept secrets when it originally released back in 2014. Now, with its port to Nintendo Switch and 3DS, the game gets a second chance — this time with a much larger user base to support it. If you didn’t catch…

With how many Mario spinoffs there are it’s easy to forget that they aren’t all made equal. For every Mario Party 2, there’s a Mario Party 9, making me second guess when I should get excited. The Mario Tennis series has been on a losing streak for a while now,…
Having recently come off of the Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, I was all too eager to check out the return of the Blue Bomber at E3 2018. Capcom’s booth was split between Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and Mega Man. While waiting through a hybrid demo area and…
