With the Nintendo Switch 2’s release closer than ever, pretty much everything there is to know about the system has been made public. Even prior to the official reveal there was a good amount of features known due to leaks, like the new C button. That being said, all these…
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…
As one would expect from the Nintendo Switch 2 featuring mouse functionality with its controllers, players can navigate the Switch 2 home menu with the Joy-Con 2’s mouse mode. The company released a short video showcasing this functionality over the weekend, and it works exactly as you would expect. You…
The Rathalos Assist/Boss reveal during the recent Direct definitely blindsided me. We’d had the Monster Hunter armor for Mii Fighters and as a franchise it has been fairly associated with Nintendo (or rather the 3DS), but I never would’ve guessed its inclusion. But here we are, with the Monster of…
We only just recently learned that the Kirby Café was coming back to Japan this September, but it looks like it’s going to be quite the return. Chef Kawasaki is joining in the celebration alongside Waddle Dee and Kirby himself, and with this new video we can see how an…
The crumbs have settled, the plates are licked, and all the leftovers have been packed away — the great cutlery calamity of Splatoon 2’s Splatfest has subsided. There appears to have been a shine towards Spoons based on popularity, but once again that’s not enough to secure the true victory….
December always feels so far away, and this year I place the blame firmly on Smash. The turnaround time on this game is incredible, but we still have to wait for it and all it’ll include for another three months. Judging by Amazon’s Best Sellers list though, we’re not the…
The Japanese Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Twitter account shared a very interesting image with campers this morning. In it, it’s easy to spot quite a few grape themed items through the mysterious gyroid face. Have a look: 【ちょっとのぞき見👀】 キャラメルさんがぶどうを見てまヒね～🍇おや、ドレミさんが座っているイスもよく見ると･･･ぶどう柄でヒかね？なんだか秋のおとずれを感じるイベントがはじまる予感でヒ！ 続報をお楽しみに～♪#ポケ森 #ハニワの穴 pic.twitter.com/RYjTNetTcA — どうぶつの森 ポケットキャンプ (@pokemori_jp) August 27, 2018…

It’s no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of both Metroidvanias and roguelikes ever since I was a old enough to coddle a controller. Like peanut butter and chocolate I’d always imagined the two could go together smoothly, despite their conflicting concepts around general progression and character growth. Games…
If you are a fan of the classic beat ’em up genre then one franchise in particular will be pretty high on your list – Streets of Rage. The classic Sega Genesis brawlers stand the test of time thanks to beautiful spritework, fun enemy variety, and, best of all, the…
To many in both the east and the west, there is no character more emblematic (hue hue) of the Fire Emblem franchise than its original golden boy, Marth. The protagonist of the first and third FE titles – whose presence in Super Smash Bros. Melee introduced the series to non-Japanese…
As we approach the end of August, many of us were starting to wonder just when the first wave of Sega Ages titles (Sonic the Hedgehog and Thunder Force IV) would hit Switch. Now, it’s been confirmed that the two titles have been pushed back into September for “quality improvement.”…
Now we’ve seen a party member from Persona’s 3, 5, and 4, we’ve looped back around to 3 again. This time it’s a personal favorite of mine – Shinjiro Aragaki. The bruiser with a heart of gold was a stand-out character in the original game so here’s hoping he translates…
