The folks over at Digital Foundry have taken a look at what many consider an impossible port for the Nintendo Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077. Announced as one of the premiere third-party launch titles for the system (and one of the only third-party games with the full game on a cartridge),…
Since the Nintendo Switch 2 is the hot new thing in gaming right now, it only makes sense that other companies would be worried about the device eating into their sales. As one of Nintendo’s two main rivals for the past 30 years, Sony has gone head-to-head with Nintendo’s consoles…
Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
On this random Tuesday morning, Nintendo has announced a brand-new Splatoon 3 spinoff titled “Splatoon Raiders” for the Switch 2. Many believed that the DJ trio “Deep Cut” would originally be the focus of a DLC campaign for Splatoon 3, but instead, it seems Nintendo felt Big Man was too…
There’s no shortage of Sonic the Hedgehog spinoffs in general. Ranging from exceptional (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Battle) to regrettable (Sonic Shuffle, Knuckles’ Chaotix), that polarization extends pretty evenly to past racing games.

As many players will have likely figured out by now, Mario Kart World does not feature a 200cc mode for its races. Although Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, not even at launch but through an update to the Wii U version, its absence in a new Mario Kart is peculiar….
With the massive jump in power the Nintendo Switch 2 brings compared to the original Switch, the possibilities for third-party games on the console feel broader than ever. Back in April when we got our first good look at the system and what it could run, there were a myriad…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019.

In a move that many likely expected, Nintendo has announced that it has delayed the release of the live-action Legend of Zelda movie by a few months. Originally scheduled to hit theaters on March 26th, 2027, the film will now make its way to the silver screen on May 7th,…
Initially announced on January 31st, 2020, Niantic announced it would begin testing new types of events during February 2020 – Pokémon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour.

Kicking off today’s Xbox Showcase stream was the announcement of one of the worst kept secrets in gaming: an Xbox handheld. After months of speculation and leaks, Microsoft has finally confirmed what we all thought was happening: Microsoft is partnering with Asus to create a variant of its ROG Ally…
