The Splatoon 3 Spring Fest 2024 is set to go live tonight and to get fans excited, Nintendo has uploaded an amazingly cuddly-looking piece of promo art. A three-way Splatfest between Baby Chicks, Li’l Bunnies, and Bear Cubs, I’m not sure it even matters who wins at this point. This…

It’s been years since we heard anything about the ARMS graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics, with the prologue comic releasing way back in 2018 on Free Comic Book Day. As it turns out, there’s a reason for that, as the book has seemingly been quietly canceled. A Reddit user…
It’s hard to imagine that time has flown this quickly during the Switch’s life cycle. Given just how successful and impactful to the industry it’s been in such a short time, I’m sure I’d be hard-pressed to find any person who doesn’t remember exactly where they were when they opened…

Mid-2017, I had just returned from living abroad. While happy to be reunited with friends and family, I missed the country and city that had become my second home. Thankfully I had a little slice of Japan to dive back into by the name of Persona 5, a game that…
