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…
Sega announced a new “Sonic & Friends x Sanrio characters” product line at Tokyo Toy Show 2025 today. Sonic the Hedgehog and Hello Kitty mascots appeared at the event’s Sega Fave booth to reveal the collaboration, according to Essential Japan (via Sonic City). Sonic & Friends is a series of…
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…
RPGs are my favorite genre of video game, and have been since around the time I was a preteen and discovered the likes of SNES classics like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and EarthBound. But my first RPGs, when I was just a wee tyke, didn’t feature any medieval knights or…
It may be early, but so much of what’s been shared for the Super Mario RPG remake seems perfectly done.

After persistent rumors and more “Geno for Smash” requests than anyone could count, Nintendo and Square Enix have finally delivered. Today’s Nintendo Direct unveiled a trailer for a full (gorgeous) remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars! Called just Super Mario RPG this time, players…
June – the traditional month of big game news – continues to roll on without a peep about a Nintendo Direct, and people are growing restless. After previous rumors that one would be on the way shortly, a tweet from @Pyoro_ND – a leaker who has gotten several details accurate…
DOOM is the game notorious for running on anything, but how about good old fashioned lawyering drama on… the NES? Two Github users, Safyrus and Alas Diablo, are demaking the first Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game to run on the Nintendo Entertainment System. So apparently some absolute lunatic is…
For North American Fire Emblem fans, the Blazing Blade no doubt carries a great deal of significance. As our first localized title in the series, so much of the western perspective of Fire Emblem (at least until Awakening) came courtesy of Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector’s campaign. Now that game is…
When you’re a multinational corporation that makes billions, you have enough money to make some truly out there stuff. As part of a promotion for a real life shake, fast food titan McDonald’s has released “Grimace’s Birthday,” a video game celebrating giant purple mascot Grimace’s birthday on June 15th. But…
Masakazu Eguchi is a man intrinsically tied to the Mega Man Battle Network series, being the planner for the first game and writing the story for every game thereafter. While MMBN ended all the way back in 2005, the series has reentered the milieu with the recent Mega Man Battle…

Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble was previously one of the most forgotten entries in the pink puffball’s illustrious catalog of spinoffs, due to requiring gyroscopic functions on a handheld device – something that’s more standard nowadays, but less so once upon a time. Well, the game has been released on Nintendo…
In my experience, updates for the Nintendo Switch Online digital library of titles usually features one notable title at a time accompanied by a few more esoteric choices. This time though? This time we get two notable additions accompanied by a few more esoteric choices. Half and half, baby! Leading…
