One of the best parts of any Ace Attorney game is the variety of facial expressions the cast can adopt. Whether in the throes of consternation or the triumph of victory, there’s iconic sprites and poses every three feet – and now you can get some of that expressiveness with…
Set out into Myrtana! Gothic, the beloved German RPG from 2001, is heading to Switch as Gothic Classic: featuring polished graphics, new UI, and native Switch controls. It’s not a full remake (though one of those is in development for the PS5) but rather a mostly straightforward port: …
Well here’s a merchandising match made in heaven! Capcom has teamed up with Gotte, illustrator of Sukeroku’s Daily Life (a series about the life of his hamster, the eponymous Sukeroku) to make merch of “Rockham” – Sukeroku dressed up as Mega Man (who is of course called Rockman in Japanese)….

Now we’ve moved into August it’s time for Nintendo to drop its latest financial report, this time for the three month period ending June 30, 2023. Naturally that means Nintendo’s biggest game of the year is in the spotlight, with it being confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of…
