Ask any Mario Kart fan what they fear most, and the answer will undoubtedly be the infamous Spiny Shell. This iconic item first debuted in Mario Kart 64, and ever since then it has been terrorizing Mario Kart fans with its tenacity to destroy the first place racer. It has…
While Bayonetta 3 marked the end of the franchise and its heroine, that wasn’t exactly the original plan for the series. In a new video shared on his YouTube channel, series creator Hideki Kamiya explained that if he had remained at developer PlatinumGames, he would have liked to continue the…
Nintendo Music has updated with new tracks from Pokémon Sword and Shield this week. With a runtime of four hours and 43 minutes and a whopping 138 tracks, Sword and Shield’s soundtrack is likely to satisfy Pokémon fans! Check out the full tracklist below: Title Screen Exhibition Match Postwick…
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. Now developer Sukeban Games has revealed a sequel set in the same universe: the similarly titled…
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.

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…

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 looked at the Switch selects from the PAX 10 alongside a couple other notables, and…
One of the first games I can distinctly remember buying (mostly due to reviews) was The World Ends With You. The DS was my jam back in high school, with way too many hours clocked in with Pokémon Diamond and every bus ride ending up a mobile, class-wide Mario Kart…
