As reported by Automaton, Nintendo’s stock prices have reached an all-time high today following the slight drop it suffered from the Switch 2 reveal teaser. Just last week, we reported how Nintendo’s stocks fell around 5.9% following the unveiling of the Switch 2, which analysts believed was down to leaks…
In some rather sad news to kick off 2025, it looks as if developer Extremely OK Games, LTD. (EXOK), the team behind the acclaimed 2018 platformer Celeste, has cancelled development of its upcoming action RPG Earthblade. In a blog post on the dev’s official website, Maddy Thorson, director of Celeste,…

When Sega announced its Sega Ages program, which is slowly but surely bringing classic games from their back catalog to the Switch, it was hinted that Sega Dreamcast games would eventually be part of the line-up. Personally, I wasn’t too confident in it coming to fruition, but it turns out…
It was whispered of only in legend; a long-forgotten series of analysis pieces on various video game characters that once resided on this website — so ancient, it saw the time of the Inquirer. Tidings of its returns have been muttered, yet never come to pass… until this day. For…
File this one under “I didn’t see that one coming!” The folks over at Siliconera recently discovered a brand new Nintendo patent with features what appears to be a foldable Game Boy themed case for a cell phone. This isn’t just a fancy Game Boy themed design we’re talking about…
I haven’t heard a lot about Totaku figures since the initial reveal, when it seemed to be a PlayStation focused line of collectibles covering both newer and classic characters. It’s grown into something wider reaching since then, with multiplatform characters from Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter joining in on…
Throughout the ’90s one video game publisher was almost unavoidable – Acclaim. The studio seemed to bring out anything, from genuine gems, like NBA Jam, to long-forgotten licensed adventures like Dragonheart: Fire & Steel, and it got something of a mixed reputation as a result.

On September 28th, 1998, a phenomenon was born in North America with the launch of Pokémon Red & Blue. While the Pokémon Company as a whole celebrated the 20th anniversary back in 2016 to coincide with the Japanese release window, we felt it was worth reflecting on the franchise’s history…
Before I ever owned a home console, arcades were where my interest in games truly started, with more quarters spent than I’d ever want to sit and count. Within those hallowed grounds of lights and sounds two types of games managed to wring the most out of me: fighting games…
Video game speedrunner Kosmicd12 just set a new world record for the original Super Mario Bros.! Clocking in at 4:55.913, Kosmic executed a new trick in World 1-2 to set the new mark. In the full video of the speedrun, Kosmic said this is likely the final second barrier to…
In just a few short weeks, you’ll be able to experience Luigi’s original mansion adventure on the 3DS. When the port was announced back in March, I was jumping for joy for a few reasons. The most obvious is that Luigi’s Mansion is my favorite game of all time, but…
While nowhere near one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises, I loved the two Custom Robo games that made their way to the West. Custom Robo on the GameCube and Custom Robo Arena on the Nintendo DS were both delightful titles that had a unique mix of RPG stories and mechanics…
Calling all N64 fanboys and girls (and I know there are a lot of you): get yourselves ready. The Nintendo 64 Classic Edition might just finally be on its way. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let me make it clear that this is speculation, and nothing has been…
