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…
It’s hard to believe that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is finally available. Announced when the first Switch was still new, the game went through a rough development cycle that finally resulted in a game that does justice to the series’ legacy. If you’ve been dying to get your hands on…
In a Q&A session following the release of its Q2 financial results report, Sega executives were asked about the increasing costs of game development and what the company will do to combat the trend. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ll likely have seen that…
One of the classic titles of the early 00’s was The Simpsons: Hit & Run, a GTA-like open world game based on one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. Now, a YouTuber named reubs – known for making upscaled remakes/remasters of games in a short amount of…
Back in 2019, Nintendo cracked down majorly on RomUniverse, one of the most well-known sites that hosted copies of games for the company’s older systems, typically known as “ROM” files. Nintendo successfully sued the website’s owner, Matthew Storman, for $2.1 million dollars in damages, to be paid in $50 monthly…
I’ve been a fan of classic gaming mods for sometime, even attempting quite a few myself. Some of them add amazing functionality, like the Game Boy Color IPS mod. Others transform a handheld into an HDMI enabled home console. But sometimes, they exist for no other reason than to prove…
Sonic Adventure 2 is filled to the brim with iconic moments, from the City Escape truck scene to Eggman blowing up the moon. Perhaps one of the most memorable parts, however, comes when Sonic meets Shadow at the Green Forest. As the scene that gave us lines like “I found…
In a world where people are paying thousands for Pokémon cards and old video games, records are being broken left and right. Less than a month after a copy of Super Mario 64 auctioned for $1.5 million, breaking the record for most expensive video game ever sold, a sealed copy…
Nothing is quite as nostalgic for me as sitting down with my friends after school for a rousing match of Mario Kart 64. The four-player split-screen action was mindblowing to us and the graphics at the time were some of the sharpest, and prettiest, we’d ever seen. Fast forward 25…
If you’re a child of the ’90s, you probably have come across a Cruis’n game at some point, be it in the corner of an arcade or movie theater, or on the good ol’ N64. Arcade company Raw Thrills is bringing its entry in the series, Cruis’n Blast, to the…
More Rhythm Heaven is needed in the world, and it’s comforting to know there are some supremely talented individuals who agree with me on that. One need only look at the Rhythm Heaven Reanimated project, which brought together several such animators and artists to recreate every minigame and medley from…
As Final Fantasy protagonists go, X’s Tidus has a pretty bizarre design, which is saying something. Boasting a jacket with no shirt, mismatched gloves, and an unusual pair of dungarees, it’s quite the look. Thanks to a recent interview with Famitsu, translated by Siliconera, we may finally have an answer…
Normally every anniversary that’s rendered in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshot form by Masahiro Sakurai puts a smile on my face. One of the core appeals of Smash is the massive memory lane paved by its represented games, and seeing Sakurai give attention to popular titles and obscurities alike over…
Not only are The Simpsons arguably America’s favorite animated family ever, the iconic franchise spawned what may be one of the greatest licensed video games ever in 2003 with the launch of The Simpsons: Hit & Run. You need only look at the widespread outcry for a remaster, the endless…
There are very few items from Pokémon lore as memorable as the one million yen bike from Pokémon Red and Blue. It was iconic, it was fast, it was super expensive. Luckily for you (if you’re in Japan at least), The Pokémon Company has announced that it’s giving out ONE…
