Team Cherry is nearly ready to release the next patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, its long-anticipated and hotly debated followup to Hollow Knight, after having just released a patch that tweaked some of the early-game difficulty balancing. This next patch, despite online debate focusing almost entirely on the game’s difficulty,…
Sega just released its new Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds commercial, and it seems to take jabs at a familiar racing franchise. In the 30 second ad, CrossWorlds shows off their vehicle customization, traveling through different worlds, and crossplay multiplayer. Immediately after, they mention “traveling around on an open road,” seemingly taking…
In one of the final Kickstarter updates before Hollow Knight: Silksong releases (which is still a bizarre sensation to be writing), developer Team Cherry has revealed that the native Switch 2 version of Silksong will be a free upgrade for owners of the Switch port. Since the Kickstarter launched well…
While Capcom has not officially confirmed or denied it yet, a new rumor suggests that Resident Evil Requiem will release on the Nintendo Switch 2 next year. This bit of speculation comes from Dusk Golem, a Resident Evil community member who tends to be correct with predictions and rumors. As…

Over three years since its release, Kirby and the Forgotten Land still stands out as one of the best (and one of my personal favorite) Switch games around. It took the pink puffball in a new direction while expanding to the third dimension, delivering dilapidated environments and the sight of…
If there’s one thing 2025 will likely be remembered for among video game circles, it would be the abundance of cart racers. From Nintendo alone there’s Mario Kart World and soon Kirby Air Riders, not to mention Sega jumping in with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. It seems almost fitting for Sonic…

The first Daemon X Machina landed on the original Nintendo Switch six years ago, bringing with it fast-paced mech action. The title made a small splash among fans itching for a new mecha-focused action game, but otherwise it came and went without much fanfare. I myself didn’t have any real…

Capcom was shocked to learn that the hybrid console, despite its high price, is selling well, as it stated the response was “better than expected” from customers. The overwhelming sales numbers,…
Despite being around for more than 20 years now, the wildly popular Call of Duty series hasn’t made the jump to the silver screen. While I’m not sure anyone ever really expected a film from the franchise, Call of Duty will finally be making the jump to mainstream theaters in…
Fire Emblem Awakening, one of the best Fire Emblem games of all-time and one that revitalized the series, has finally been added to Nintendo Music! The 3DS game was a do-or-die for developers, as Nintendo had warned that low sales would result in the cancellation of the series entirely. Luckily…
