One of the most exciting aspects of Mario Kart World upon reveal was the wide array of more obscure playable characters included in the game. Known as NPC characters, this group largely consists of basic enemies and other niche characters who are distinguished from the rest of the cast by…
As many players will have likely figured out by now, Mario Kart World does not feature a 200cc mode for its races. Although Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, not even at launch but through an update to the Wii U version, its absence in a new Mario Kart is peculiar….
With the massive jump in power the Nintendo Switch 2 brings compared to the original Switch, the possibilities for third-party games on the console feel broader than ever. Back in April when we got our first good look at the system and what it could run, there were a myriad…
Nearly a year ago, Shin Megami Tensei V left a strong impression as part of the first Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase. Things are coming full circle, as we’ve finally seen gameplay of the long-awaited and Nintendo Switch exclusive MegaTen continuation during the E3 Nintendo Direct. See for yourself what…
Originally a Wii U exclusive, Koei Tecmo’s survival horror title Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water became a fan-favorite on the last generation system as it garnered a small following from fans despite suffering a mixed reception from critics. Returning from the grave and back with a vengeance, Maiden of…
After multiple rumors and leaks, Sega is finally ready to roll with some Super Monkey Ball 20th anniversary fun! Featured in the E3 Direct was a Hyper Potions (you’ve heard them in Sonic Mania promos for sure) fueled trailer that fully revealed Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Rather than a…
A new action-adventure title starring the Guardians of the Galaxy was announced during yesterday’s Square-Enix E3 showcase. At the time, the new game starring the galaxy’s greatest misfits was only announced for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The lack of a Switch port wasn’t too surprising considering the fidelity of the…

While Metroid Prime 4 still churns away in development, Nintendo isn’t leaving the Metroid fanbase high and dry — there’s a brand-new 2D title coming our way this year, dubbed “Metroid 5” and a direct sequel to Fusion. And get this: it’s Metroid Dread. That’s right. THAT Metroid Dread from…

If I were inclined to bet, I’d have said Nintendo and Intelligent Systems would’ve brought out a Fire Emblem remake of some sort for the big E3 Direct. After all, the series has been on a tear and it’s not like they have another turn and grid-based strategy game to…
Today’s E3 Nintendo Direct kicked off in a big way, with the debut of the next DLC fighting for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In a trailer that’ll be familiar to 3D fighting game fans, Tekken’s Kazuya Mishima is joining the roster courtesy of Bandai Namco. A Bandai Namco…
