When I was growing up in the ‘90s, I was part of a pretty Nintendo-centric family. I grew up on the SNES, N64, and the Game Boy, but my nextdoor neighbor’s family had a PlayStation. We’d gather in his basement frequently and play two games: Tekken 3 and Crash Bandicoot….
Few game scores can get me in a mood like Kirby’s can. Fittingly peppy at some points, cosmically bombastic at others, it holds enough variety while remaining unmistakingly Kirby when stacked up with Nintendo’s full suite of soundwork. Some scoffed at the idea of a full Kirby orchestra performance, but…

The other veterans without amiibo include Snake, Wolf, Young Link, and…
Last year I walked away from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle feeling wholly pleased with the crossover. Bringing the Mushroom Kingdom together with Ubisoft’s BWAHing bunnies in a grid-based strategy game worked well, with only a few things to complain about in my full review. Ubisoft must’ve noticed a few…
The Splatoon 2 post release content keeps on coming, with plenty more support as promised at this year’s E3. With the next Rank X season comes a brand new stage and four new weapons for squidkids (and now those fresh new Octolings) to get their hands on. New Albacore Hotel…
After crawling forth from Hallownest and wresting pretty much every member of our site’s time and money, it’s easy for us to tell you why you should check out Hollow Knight. Hell, do just that by reading our review. But numbers are what provide the best proof, and according to…
