In a rather humorous bit of discovery related to Super Mario 64, one YouTuber discovered that you can get trapped in the game’s star selection menu for two and a quarter years if you wait a ridiculously long time to select a stage. How long must you wait? Two and…
If you’re a dedicated Super Smash Bros. player who was looking for the love of your life to share your gaming hobby with, the recently closed “SmashTogether” app may have been perfect for you. I’m using the past tense here because Nintendo has issued a cease and desist order to…
It was announced a couple months ago that Aurora from Child of Light was being added to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night as a playable character, a very out-of-nowhere announcement that was simultaneously neat and flabbergasting. While added to most platforms at the time, she took a bit longer to…

This time it’s none other than Devolver Digital’s wonderfully chaotic fantastic “E3” presentation that isn’t a presentation this year.

Klonoa’s return is nearly upon us, though Bandai Namco has been fairly quiet when it comes to the dreamy platformers. What we do have is a brief graphical comparison between the original versions of the series’ titles and how they’ll look in Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series. It’s worth…
A crafting, “find all the items” journey awaits with Super Rare Games’ next physical release.

Kotaro Uchikoshi is one of the most interesting men working in video games. The Zero Escape and AI: The Somnium Files director/writer has a distinct frankness and bawdiness when discussing his work (one that you can often feel in the writing itself). And now, he’s conducted another interview with Nintendo…
