Hard to believe it’s already been half a decade.

Rumor, speculation ahead. (Sorry in advance.) I get it, okay. I’m as sick of this circus as you are. We all know how it goes at this point. Some sort of datamine or insider info comes out — in this case, a Nvidia leak for “nvn2” which seems to be…

But now it not only comes to western shores for the first time, it…
It’s that time of year again when rampant consumerism fuels us all, and Nintendo’s rolling out discounts a-plenty to tempt our good will and wallets. Multiple games are seeing discounts, including a couple of the Switch’s more unique offerings. For all that’s been new this year, the star of the…
Nintendo’s E3 Direct is an event I look forward to every year, and odds are you do too. Considering 2020 lacked that dedicated showcase of all that’s on the way, anticipation is at an all time high for whatever June 15th has to share. Rather than simply predict or lay…
In mere hours we’ll be watching nearly an hour long Nintendo Direct. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate information is already promised, which means we may know the next character of Fighters Pass 2 before the end of the day. With so many game universes already included in Smash, it’s hard to…
