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…
Today, April 4th, marks the start of a new era for a certain blue hedgehog. After decades of stories published under the banner of Archie Comics, Sonic the Hedgehog has effectively been rebooted under IDW, the fifth largest comic book publisher in the US. Given how admirably passionate the Sonic…
Datamining Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been tricky this year. The team behind the mobile game has taken steps to protect content that’s slated for release in the future, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting small hints of what’s to come anyway. Check out these pieces of info that…
What’s up, my dudes and dudettes, it’s ya boi swordlegend96, here with my Breath of the Wild — or, as the cool kids say, BotW (pronounced “Bott-wuh”) review! I can’t believe I finally have the chance to share my thoughts on this game — Nintendo Wire passed me a review…
It was a badly kept secret but now it’s official – TT Games, Disney and Warner Bros. are giving The Incredibles the Lego game treatment, and it’ll be heading to Nintendo’s Switch. Players will be able to run through story levels and “an epic hub world” as the super-powered Parr…
Welcome to Smash, Switch, Speculation! Each week we take a look at the biggest questions in the world of Super Smash Bros. Switch and discuss what we expect to see when the newest iteration lands on Switch later this year. Today, we ask the most debated question: Will Smash Bros….
As the culture of gaming looks ever forward, innovating in both game design and technology, certain genres tend to be lost to time. From collectathon 3D platformers, to silly FMV titles, to arcade styled beat ‘em ups, certain types of games simply aren’t made anymore — unless it’s in the…
Some say 2018 is the year of the octopus, but someone else seems to be taking the spotlight instead. Mega Man’s franchise is making strides this year and today we have more information on the 3D animated show aimed for kids. DHX Media has added the show to its brands…
A lot of things have changed in 25 years, but Kirby’s not one of them. While his overall look has evolved, the formula of stress-free platforming and fun copy abilities has made him one of Nintendo’s most reliable. His titles are consistently “good” games that allow any and all to…
Spring has sprung, and so has a sale of Switch games in the eShop. It includes, among smaller indie fare — the step-tacular Crypt of the Necrodancer, the charming (and already cheap) Kamiko, detective action in L.A. Noire, car soccer with Rocket League, and the critically acclaimed Steamworld series. Whatever…
Welcome to Speedrun Sunday: that sadistic time of the week when we dare to challenge both your D-pad’s durability and sanity’s stamina with the ultimate test in video game bragging rights. Hot off the 8-bit boots of our Vs. Super Mario Bros. challenge comes yet another ruthless run that’ll swallow…
Normally, I feel pretty neutral or even outright annoyed when it comes to Legendary Pokémon. Once caught they’re thrown in the box, a checked off spot on the Pokédex even with their known power. Not Lugia though. This Psychic seabird was one of my favorites back in Gen II thanks…
