It’s basically a running gag at this point, but Bethesda has ported Skyrim to yet another console. In a surprise launch this morning, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is now available on Nintendo Switch 2 in an enhanced form. The original game released on Switch all the way…
After reporting about GameStop accidentally leaking information regarding Resident Evil Requiem’s DLC, I figured we wouldn’t hear anything else about the game until The Game Awards on Thursday. Turns out, Sony had other plans, as a placeholder image when preloading Capcom’s latest installment in the classic survival horror series on…
It’s hard to imagine that here we are, in 2022, and we’re still getting new details about the development of the original Pokémon games. I mean, these games are some of the most iconic and beloved titles in gaming history, so it’s surprising when something comes out that genuinely surprises…

The Sega Genesis Mini is a fine micro-console, sitting proudly beside the SNES Classic for 16-bit fans. While there were hopes and rumors that a “Dreamcast Mini” could be on the way, Sega’s instead announced another opportunity to bask in their retro glory. Behold, the Mega Drive Mini 2! …
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was one of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack titles I was anticipating the most.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards stands as a fan-favorite in the pink puffball’s 30-year legacy. With good reason too, particularly for its unique twist on Kirby’s Copy Ability.

As Kirby’s 35th anniversary came and went last month I couldn’t help but feel a longing to replay the first Kirby game I experienced as a child, but alas, I did not have access to an N64 at the time. To add to this misfortune, Mario Golf took the Nintendo…
Reggie Fils-Aimé may have departed from Nintendo of America, but he has certainly not forgotten his role as the company’s president and all of the engagement with fans he had during his tenure.
