For…
In our modern time of multiplatform gaming and a decrease in console exclusivity, sometimes it’s undeniable that a game from one system would fit better on another. Take Mario Kart 8’s jump from Wii U to Nintendo Switch as a prime example. A great Wii U game with less eyes…
While Nintendo and EA haven’t always had the rosiest of relationships, that hasn’t stopped the two from working together at various points throughout different console generations. EA doesn’t have a lot of games on the current Switch, but EA CEO Andrew Wilson believes that the recently announced Nintendo Switch 2…
PlatinumGames, longtime revered game developer, has lately been dipping its toes into game publishing with Sol Cresta and the Wonderful 101 Remastered. But the studio is always looking to have more control over its projects when it’s traditionally had to give up the IP rights of the games it works…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019.

Call me a sap, but I think it’s better to love than to hate. There certainly was a lot of hatred during and after the reveal of last week’s Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer, where people’s worst fears about Chris Pratt — namely, that he’d be Chris Pratt — came…
Next year XSEED Games will be bringing two intriguing JRPGs to Switch in the form of Loop8 and Trinity Trigger. If you’re excited to try them out then you might be interested in this news – each adventure is getting its own physical limited edition. For starters we have the…

Ever since I started reporting on amiibo all the way back in 2014, one place that I always went for juicy details was the Nintendo Consumer Product Safety page (CPSIA). For those of you not in the know, the CPSIA is an act that was passed in 2008 which requires…

It’s crazy to think that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is only a few months away from release. While we haven’t seen much in terms of gameplay, what little we have been shown has Zelda fans (myself included) everywhere on edge for any scraps of news that…
The hot button topic of the Super Mario Bros. Movie teaser has been the same hot button topic surrounding the movie for well over a year: the casting of generic Hollywood everyman Chris Pratt as Mario, a move widely disliked by scores of internet-goers, especially intensified as the general consensus…
