It’s no surprise that GameStop has been declining in sales over the last few years. With many people shifting over to digital games and the impact of COVID-19 still being felt, it’s honestly a surprise that GameStop has lasted this long without being snatched up by another corporation. In Canada,…
Since the unveiling of the Switch 2 last month, Nintendo has been hosting a series of videos it calls “Creator’s Voice” for new games coming to its platform. The latest in that line of videos features Square Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi, series director for Final Fantasy VII Remake and its sequels….
When Elden Ring releases on Nintendo Switch 2 this year, it won’t just be a belated port to Nintendo’s console family and nothing more. Its subtitle, “Tarnished Edition,” will actually include some extra content to sweeten the deal for fans who are either double-dipping or have waited for a portable…
There are plenty of cool-looking indies on the horizon but even still, Eastward manages to be very striking. With some gorgeously animated pixel-art and an aesthetic that screams ’90s anime, the action RPG looks very intriguing, and developer Pixpil and publisher Chucklefish have shared 25 minutes of gameplay footage via…
Do you remember back in the early days of amiibo, when retailer exclusives started hitting shelves? For many collectors, this came as no surprise — a natural progression for any collectible on the market. But one of the main complaints, aside from the seemingly forced scarcity and inevitable scalper prices,…

Digital Monster fans are due for another year of buffering and disconnections, sadly. The awaited tactics/survival game has been in the works for some time but with minimal news or showings. Per a new financial report shared over on Resetera, it would appear that may stay the case for some…
Jupiter and Sega are partnering together for the latest in the always welcome Picross series. There’s just something about these nonograms that puts me at ease, but this time around they’ll be doing what Nintendon’t. As previously announced, Picross S Genesis & Master System edition will be basing its number…

Being an amiibo collector can be tough! Not only do you have to deal with retail exclusives, scalpers, bootlegs, and shortages, from time to time, an extremely limited variant gets released that you’ll likely never have the chance to see in real life — let alone own. We’ve seen golden…
Few video game icons quite capture the essense of the 1990’s like Sonic the Hedgehog. The blue blur perfectly captured the era’s approach to ‘attitude’, while meshing it with cute Japanese sensibilities, resulting in a pretty iconic aesthetic that still holds up to this day. Fashion label Stray Rats is…
Tilting the floor to precisely maneuver spherically constrained simians is a form of art. It’ll take determination, ingenuity, and a whole lot of potassium to fuel you through the hundreds of stages in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Thankfully, the Switch version of this 20th anniversary celebration won’t be left…
If not for skipping Melee, the Bumper item would’ve been in every single Super Smash Bros. game. It may not have that perfect attendance, but only missing a single Smash game puts it on par with features such as a gallery of collectibles and Marth. Such a recurring legacy deserves…
Fire Emblem Heroes is dipping once again into a specific game’s backstory and lore to bring forth a Mythic Hero. This time around it’s Genealogy of the Holy War getting attention, reviving one of its Twelve Crusaders to fight at summoners’ sides. Behold, Ullr, the bowmaster that in…
