As seems to be a tradition with Nintendo games nowadays, early copies of Mario & Luigi: Brothership have been leaked online ahead of the title’s official release on November 7, 2024. We already reported on copies out in the wild confirming that Brothership runs on Unreal Engine and was developed…
After a few years of running a YouTube channel dedicated to game development tips and insights, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai has finally hung up the reins. In his final video, he not only shared some extra insight about what he hopes to achieve with any new projects, but Sakurai…
It’s official! After a long wait, Dotemu has finally confirmed that Metal Slug Tactics will be launching on Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox, and Steam on November 5th. Check out the announcement trailer below! Unlike other entries in the Metal Slug franchise, Metal Slug Tactics brings turn-based combat while…
When you start playing a Japanese RPG you don’t usually expect something calming – typically there are burning villages, amnesiac heroes and world-ending prophecies within the first hour. Gust’s Atelier series has long worked against those assumptions, delivering an experience quite unlike any other JRPG out there. The aim? Building…
Traditionally speaking, the first year of a console’s lifetime is generally mediocre. Launches that range from great to middling are followed by months of dead air before the next batch of decent releases drop, and only around the one year anniversary do more heavy hitters finally emerge. Despite their utter…
It’s incredible to think that the Nintendo Switch is already almost a year old. It seems like yesterday we were being bombarded with rumor after leak after rumor about the then-fabled NX, ultimately culminating in that long-awaited reveal video. Even so, we’re nearly a year deep and a new Super…
Farming games have been a not-so-guilty pleasure of mine since I was a kid. The genre has expanded over the last few years, especially due to Stardew Valley’s arrival for the genre. For those who have played Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons though, we’re always looking forward to what…
It’s been quite a ride for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, with announcements of characters, DLC, and pricing coming in at a slow drip. While the game has always looked like a lot of fun to me, having half the roster (including half of the prominently promoted RWBY characters) only available…

I could never get into Metroid as a kid. As cool as I thought Samus Aran was, and try as I might, it was just a tough series to get into. It might have had something to do with the sprawling map that I felt the need to memorize mixed…
February seems to be an unofficial month of Nindies. With plenty of fantastic titles dropping recently and this week, there are even more games being announced for the month and beyond. TYPOMAN: REVISED Another indie title making the transition to the Nintendo Switch, Typoman’s debut onto the console will consist…
Platformers aren’t known for their riveting narratives. Push start, watch a brief introductory cinematic of nefarious ne’er-do-wells threatening the status quo, and it’s off to saving princesses, staking vampire lords and (Mega) busting up twirly mustached scientists. “Gameplay is king!” we shout, pledging our allegiance to the gods of gaming…
Square Enix has a rather long and industrious history when it comes to JRPGs, what with publishing the most prolific series in the genre ever and all. And after the waning of the genre in the new millennium, it was nice to see the company jump back into the fray…
Pocket Camp’s latest update has arrived and on the surface, there’s one obvious new feature. Selecting a friend’s profile will now have a watering status listed under their name and how many hours it has been since they last logged in. Broken into two parts, the “Watering” feature will either…
Much like the Switch itself, the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been a runaway success sales-wise since it launched in early March 2017 alongside the system, while its presence on the Wii U undoubtedly helped too. The extent of the game’s success, however, is easy to under-estimate…
