With how popular Shantae has become over the years, it’s surprising to learn that one of the games in the series was actually cancelled over 20 years ago. Despite that, Wayforward didn’t give up and would revive the project many years later to create a long-lost interquel for the series….
While home consoles are a widespread and ubiquitous part of the greater video game industry now, it hasn’t always been that way. Video game consoles have their origins from arcade machines, and the transition they made to end up in people’s living rooms was thanks in large part to systems…
As part of today’s financial report for Nintendo, company president Shuntaro Furukawa noted that Nintendo will be considering a price adjustment to the Switch 2 depending on how the situation of President Trump’s tariffs evolves in the coming months. With nobody sure of what the impact will be when Trump’s…
While I’m not the resident reverent roguelike rapscallion (that title goes to the superior spelunky savant Matthew Weidner), I do enjoy a jaunt through an ever-changing dungeon or two every now and then. The cyclical design of the genre allows for a perceptible change of skill growth in your own…
In this 12 minute video, we take a look at most of the Ganondorf armor in the upcoming Diablo III: Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind, we’re still missing the boots and the shoulder pads to complete this entire set. Diablo III: Eternal Collection for Nintendo…
In a game mostly full of projectiles and bombs, it’s nice to see something break the norm. Enter the Ultra Stamp, Splatoon 2’s upcoming special weapon that’s ready to bring the fight nice and close for a change. Move over Inkbrush, because this more melee-esque weapon is in a class…
Mario Tennis Aces still has a few trickshots up its sleeve, with another month-long online tournament character about to come to the game. Have a look at Koopa Paratroopa in action, flying free and with his own mini-squadron as backup. Unlocking him will work the same as all…
Last year Sega of America launched its own merchandise shop, selling apparel, plushies, and many more items based on the publisher’s impressive history of games.

Sega Ages, the company’s new initiative to bring perfect ports of classic games to the Nintendo Switch, got off to a rocky start, with the first batch of games being delayed from August into September. Sega’s goal to have a new game live every month was almost at risk too,…

To celebrate the milestone, the company’s official Twitter account has sent out a new piece…
This year, we’re counting down the days to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee!, but last year we had our eyes on Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. Now, if you can believe it, it’s been a year since Mario and Cappy traversed…
Before it was unfortunately shutdown, I loved using Swapnote with friends and coworkers. While it may be gone, its mascot and hostess has managed to stay afloat here and there thanks to a cute design and demeanor. And if you’re a Nintendo character with a bit of charm, you know…
Oh, Pocky. In my experiences this is one of the Japanese snacks a lot of people in America are introduced to first. Fairly available and different enough from anything we have here, there’s a certain novelty to this chocolate covered biscuit sticks. They even have their own day drummed up…
Capcom has been steadfast in its support for the Nintendo Switch so far, but one of its bigger tentpole franchises, Resident Evil, has only seen two major ports in the west – both Resident Evil Revelations games. Next year things will finally turn around, however! Thanks to a tweet from…
