It has been so long since an Endless Ocean game was released that I almost forgot a new one was around the corner. With less than a month before its release day, Nintendo has uploaded a new trailer for Endless Ocean Luminous that doesn’t so much explain what you’ll be…
The subject of Splatoon 3’s next Splatfest has been revealed by the Squid Research Team, and this time around it’s all about the freshest time of year, Spring! Dubbed the Spring Fest, this special event will ask players, “Which fuzzy fluffiness do you like most?” with the options being Baby…
It’s that time of year – Amazing Games Done Quick (AGDQ) dashes on ahead all throughout the week, and you can tune in to see some absolutely mind-melting abilities from the very best speedrunners out there. And one of the best showcases so far was a four-way race in Super…
With Pokémon Scarlet and Violet the Pokédex finally surpasses 1000 entries, hitting 1008 in total. It’s an overwhelming amount, and this latest almost nine minute long video from The Pokémon Company just goes to show how impressive the selection truly is. It’s not just each individual Pokémon either…
When the Game Boy Color arrived it offered the perfect opportunity for classic Game Boy games to get a facelift, but only a handful of games took advantage, such as Link’s Awakening and Tetris getting the DX treatment. In recent years, fans have took it upon themselves to make ROM…

With how sizeable the Switch’s Arcade Archives selection is already it can be easy to forget what games haven’t appeared yet. Apparently, Taito’s classic arcade platformer Bubble Bobble has been a no-show all this time, despite it being perfectly suited to co-op Joy-Con play! Thankfully Hamster Corporation has remedied that…
Any of you remember Pokémon Pinball? There were two whole little pinball spinoffs for the franchise, one for the original Game Boy and one for the Game Boy Advance, and they were pretty well regarded. It appeared that the series just quietly ended after those two entries, but as an…
There once was a time. Not too long far off, in fact scarcely over a decade ago. It was a time in which the words “EarthBound” or “Mother” were not uttered by Nintendo outside of Super Smash Bros. titles. Despite pleas for Virtual Console releases, one of the most dedicated…
