Back in the ’90s, Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were locked in what is now commonly referred to as “The Console Wars”—a fierce rivalry between gaming giants that played out through advertisements, lawsuits, and even, in one instance, a public feud in front of Congress over video game violence.

There are many reasons to celebrate what Nintendo is doing in the gaming industry from both a creative and hardware perspective (especially when it comes to pricing), and the best place to do so right now is at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. The museum is an entire building…
Nintendo’s tactical endeavors have been firmly vested into Fire Emblem. It makes sense too – greater narrative possibilities, gameplay that maintains a core identity while trying new things, hundreds of characters to put into a gacha game. It was the right call, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only option….
The Final Fantasy franchise holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. What began as a passion project by a dedicated team of developers at SquareSoft in Japan has grown into a billion dollar franchise with 16 numbered entries and a plethora of spinoffs, ranging from kart racing…

The Nintendo Switch is a truly mighty console by now, one of the best-selling pieces of video game hardware ever and home to blockbusters like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Odyssey. But it wasn’t so long ago that accusations from a certain group of people (mostly a subset…
During The Pokémon Company’s Pokémon Presents presentation on February 27th, 2023 (a.k.a. Pokémon Day), connectivity between Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon GO was detailed. Initially teased back in November 2022, the feature was rolled out shortly after the presentation. Trainers that connect Pokémon Scarlet and/or Violet to their Pokémon…
Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
In just a few weeks one of Kirby’s best adventures of all is making a comeback. Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is giving the fan-favorite Wii game another chance to shine like the star it is, and everything I’ve seen so far has me excited. As a lifelong fan…
