Today marks 10 years since one of my all-time favorite rhythm games, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, launched on the Nintendo 3DS. The sequel to the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Curtain Call was jam-packed with amazing Final Fantasy music, characters, and stages. Not to mention the absolutely addicting touch screen…
Sega has uploaded a new multiplayer trailer for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive installment, and it reveals something pretty cool: this latest ball-rolling romp has 16-player multiplayer. I can’t imagine how chaotic that will be when playing against brand-new players, but it seems like a…

My time with Monster Hunter Rise has been so joyous and smooth that I never would have guessed that the game would have so many bugs hidden away (technical bugs, that is; not the collectible insects!). Yet Capcom apparently continues to iron out a long list of glitches within its…
It’s harvest season, and what better game is there to celebrate with than rice-cultivating/demon-slaying indie wonder Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin?

Capcom may not have been able to dive too deep into Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak in its Tokyo Game Show spotlight, but some new details were given as part of the presentation. Assumed elements like Master Rank and a new hub location were confirmed, along with a name for the…
As part of Tokyo Game Show, Capcom saw fit to unveil the last of its Monster Hunter Rise crossover collabs.

Arcades in the late ’80s and early ’90s pioneered 3D graphics in myriad ways, but one of the most striking is the SuperScaler effect employed by the likes of OutRun, Hang-On, Space Harrier, and more. By cleverly manipulating 2D sprites, these games gave the impression of moving “into” the screen,…
My favorite surprise from last week’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t the return of Bayonetta 3, or Kirby going post apocalyptic, or even the tease of Smash’s final character. No, what got me hyped was Chocobo GP, the long-awaited return of Chocobo Racing. While the PlayStation classic is well over two decades…
