Yesterday afternoon we witnessed a devastating loss to the video games industry. In another round of layoffs that seems to happen every week, WB Games announced it would be closing three studios. These were Player First Games (Multiversus), WB San Diego (which had not yet announced its game), and Monolith…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
It’s very bizarre to hear executives from Microsoft talking about the Nintendo Switch 2, but ever since the company’s pivot to multi-platform development took hold, we’ve been hearing more and more from Team Green about games on other platforms. During the Official Xbox Podcast yesterday, Xbox Games Studio head Craig…
Hey, so Mario Kart is trending on Twitter, and nationwide. I wonder what’s up? Did Nintendo announce more details about the mobile game? Or maybe an update for 8 Deluxe? Or… oh. Oh no. Oh no. Alright, uh, how do we talk about this? There are children present. Ok… just…

While it hasn’t dropped on Switch yet, visual novel “booze ‘em up” VA-11 HALL-A has already won a dedicated indie following via its combination of classic cyberpunk themes, personal character drama, and anime aesthetic.

I grew up with a healthy number of classic game franchises, but there are some that I didn’t really get into or understand until relatively recently. Mega Man is one of them — I’ve played the first two on NES, but that’s the extent to which I’m familiar with the…
Pre-order Sega Genesis Classics for Nintendo Switch for $29.99 at GameStop. Well, this is a bit of a surprise. All the way back in April Sega confirmed two Sega collections. One, “Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Classics”, would be heading to PS4 and Xbox One, while the other, “Sega Ages”, would be…
You can pre-order the Fortnite Double Helix Switch Bundle at GameStop. It could easily be argued that Fornite is the biggest game in the world right now, being an international phenomenon that’s on practically every modern gaming platform. Nintendo is now set to capitalize even more on its success with…
After appearing on a Korean ratings board, Sega has officially announced the next title into the long running Puyo Puyo series. Called simply Puyo Puyo eSports, it looks to be a scaled back title at a budget price rather than a step forward for the series. Featuring 24 characters, both…
Dragalia Lost is just over a week away, and Nintendo’s promoting the game enough that it hasn’t quite faded from my mind. Its own video presentation didn’t exactly win me over beyond surface level curiosity, but now a new pair of videos are here to teach potential players about its…
ARMS may not be getting new content, but it’s enjoyed steady online events in the form of Party Crashes. For all intents and purposes it seemed like Nintendo’s Switch centric slugger was set to keep things going with just those, but Biff’s back and ready to pass on word of…
There’re quite a few Assist Trophies that people wish were playable in Smash, and this hero’s ranked amongst them even before his debut. A recurring face in plenty of Indie hits and one of the finest, modern mascots in gaming, Shovel Knight is here to strike the earth and lend…
Last week’s Nintendo Direct announced several Final Fantasy games but one of the more imminent releases is World of Final Fantasy Maxima, set for its Switch debut on November 6th. The game is an enhanced version of a title that has already released for PS4, Vita and PC, with added…
