While home consoles are a widespread and ubiquitous part of the greater video game industry now, it hasn’t always been that way. Video game consoles have their origins from arcade machines, and the transition they made to end up in people’s living rooms was thanks in large part to systems…
As part of today’s financial report for Nintendo, company president Shuntaro Furukawa noted that Nintendo will be considering a price adjustment to the Switch 2 depending on how the situation of President Trump’s tariffs evolves in the coming months. With nobody sure of what the impact will be when Trump’s…
As excellent as No More Heroes 3 was, I think it’s fair to say that many fans are still left wanting more from the Garden of Insanity, and with many aspects of the game feeling somewhat incomplete, it has a lot of potential for new downloadable content. As it turns…
Hold It! Did you know that today is the 20th anniversary of the entire Ace Attorney franchise? October 12th, 2001 is when the franchise’s first entry was released for the Game Boy Advance in Japan (and it’s currently the 12th in Japan!). Originally known as Gyakuten Saiban (Turnabout Trial), the…

It paradoxically feels like so long ago since a 2D Metroid game and yet also like it’s been only a short few years. To an extent, both are true. The franchise hasn’t received a new full-fledged entry since 2002’s Metroid Fusion, but also two remakes in the interim – 2004’s…
I have played many games, but I’ve never played anything quite like Disco Elysium – The Final Cut. Often an RPG will see you take a fresh-faced adventurer into a hero, or develop your stats so you become a supreme combatant. Here instead you’re molding the living embodiment of stale…
Ever since the days of the Wii, I’ve had a love-or-hate relationship with Nintendo’s revived console game efforts. You see, throughout the ’80s and ’90s, games were converted to run at 50Hz in Europe to work with common television standards at the time — effectively reducing their speed by 10%,…
The next issue of Shonen Jump is set to feature a surprise for both fans of fighting games and One Piece, as the latter’s creator and artist Eiichiro Oda has drawn up a two-page spread that’s choc-full of references. Smash Bros. gets most of the love. The background appears to…
