Just before Christmas last week, a native PC port of the legendary Star Fox 64 was released online. Nintendo would likely never create such a thing as it then couldn’t sell more consoles, so this port was brought to us by a dedicated community of fans. The people responsible for…
I’m sure many of you, like me, have had a busy holiday season and may have missed some truly important things. That’s right — I’m talking about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Terra Raid battles! Right now, a shiny Rayquaza is available in 5-Star Terra Raids, but you only have until…
First 4 Figures has been on a roll lately with its lineup of stunning Sonic statues, and now, Metal Sonic is joining the collection! While not many details have been shared yet, a few teaser pictures hint that this will be one of First 4 Figures’ premium resin…
Everyone seems to be having a fun time with Splatoon 3, and, thanks to a new app update, you can show your friends just how much time you’ve sunk into perfecting your in-game fit right from your home screen. The Nintendo Switch Online app has been updated to version 2.3.0,…
The Pokémon Company is currently holding a showcase of the Pokémon World Ecological Society and as part of the show it’s revealed an all new Diglett form from the Paldea region… Or is it? As Serebii.net reports, the Ecological Society concludes that it’s a new Pokémon altogether. We’ll just have…
The world of games criticism (and even casual discussion of the medium) is filled with “-likes.” Roguelikes, Soulslikes… we call Metroidvanias Metroidvanias because we had two examples to pick from instead of just one. Even first person shooters were once upon a time simply called “DOOM Clones.” The reasoning for…
Over the month of September Nintendo has been updating its Switch Online selection of icon elements with a variety of classic NES sprites and hardware images. With October fast approaching, the fourth, and presumably final, wave has landed. The games featured this time are Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Excitebike, and…
Back in June Capcom Fighting Collection released, bringing a bunch of classic arcade brawlers, and one puzzle game, to Switch. We thought it was quite fun in our review, and now it’s been given a major update! While there aren’t any huge additions, a lot of small tweaks have been…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before — a cozy, wholesome simulator game where you get off a train and live in a town full of cute cartoon animal people. Okay, maybe not the most original premise in the world, but Hokko Life from Team 17 fleshes out the…
It was a sad state of affairs as earlier this year it was announced that Dragalia Lost, the 2018 Nintendo/Cygames mobile action RPG, would be ending service. The game hosted its final update in July of this year, and it was announced last month it would be shutting down at…
He’s large, in charge, and has the heft of a barge (rhymes are hard, okay) — King Dedede is the latest First 4 Figures Resin statue up for pre-order, specifically in two incarnations: his usual hammer-wielding persona and his more pro-wrestling-inspired Masked Dedede look. He strikes the same hefted pose…
She’s the mightiest bounty hunter the galaxy has known — and on this mission, it’s personal (actually, it’s been personal on a lot of her missions when you stop and think about it). Samus Aran has received yet another figma from Good Smile based on her initial suit in Metroid…
The long-awaited The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero has finally gotten an official English release over a decade on from its original 2010 Japanese launch, with the game arriving on Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC from today. Set in the Crossbell region, the game follows a different cast of…
In recent years the publisher eastasiasoft has been making an effort to release a number of games outside of its titular region, with both the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Sword and Fairy RPG series in particular standing out. Today, the company made a batch of announcements for Switch ports, including two…
It’s a natural course for fan projects to name themselves as sequels to the franchises they’re based upon. How many Star Wars home films back in the day were named Episode VII decades before Disney actually made that a real thing? It’s not a surprise then that Nintendo fan and…
