A flood of Xbox users are rushing to cancel their Game Pass subscriptions today, after Microsoft announced a substantial increase in prices for the service – including a 50% increase for its highest tier. BlueSky user Wario64 reported that the official Xbox webpage for cancellations became “overloaded,” presumably due to…
Here we go! Three Mario & Yoshi statues are now up for pre-order over at First 4 Figures, and we’ve got all the details so you can choose the best option. The Mario & Yoshi statues are a re-release, coming just in time for Super Mario Galaxy 1+2’s release on…
In the only bit of Conker’s Bad Fur Day news you’ll hear for the next decade, First 4 Figures has announced that it will soon be selling a statue that recreates the original N64 box art for the title. Dubbed the “Game Cover” statue, a small preview video on the…
Not only is Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds a dark horse rising to take on some massive kart racing competition, it’s more than up to the task. As the first fully cross-platform kart racer (the game is on everything from PlayStation 4 to Switch 2), it takes pole position as the most…
The original Pac-Man World 2 was Pac-Man’s first real jump to moving completely in 3D. Where the original Pac-Man World on PlayStation stuck to a 2D plane that could be navigated between a foreground and background, Pac-Man World 2 adopted a contemporary behind-the-back camera perspective and took Pac-Man to literal…
Over the last five years of video games, I struggle to think of a greater success story than Supergiant Games’ Hades. A shining example of a studio building upward with each of its releases, carrying the best parts and lessons learned from their previous work, it rightfully swept nearly every…
Author’s note: As of September 12th, 2025, the Nintendo Switch version of the game has received a significant performance patch that boosted the performance from a locked 30 fps to an unlocked 60 fps. On Nintendo Switch 2, this change improves the game considerably and the timing window for nailing…
Six and a half years after Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced as a full-fledged follow up to Hollow Knight, it’s finally in our hands. In the time since its announcement, Silksong’s hype and popularity have grown to almost mythical proportions and now that it’s here we have to ask, can…
Over three years since its release, Kirby and the Forgotten Land still stands out as one of the best (and one of my personal favorite) Switch games around. It took the pink puffball in a new direction while expanding to the third dimension, delivering dilapidated environments and the sight 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…
There’s no shortage of choices when it comes to farming sims. Whether you’re after cozy vibes and the slower pace, get a thrill out of managing your homestead efficiently, or find the idea of starting a new life that appealing, the genre is a staple for a reason. Story of…
Note: This review is based on the PlayStation 5 version of the game. The full Nintendo Switch version was not available ahead of release. Should we find any discrepancy in its quality, we will update this review. As someone raised on a Genesis who’s always down to talk…
It’s been roughly 15 years since I last played Madden, about the same amount of time since I last played football in real life, actually. I played football for a big chunk of my youth, and even declined an opportunity to play junior college football to focus on my grades….
Compilation. Catalog. Compendium. These are all words that can be used to describe Spelunky developer Mossmouth’s UFO 50. But all three of those words fail to detail just how expansive a package UFO 50 is. True, there are 50 original games of differing genres included here. But the way they’re…
Disclaimer: This review for Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound was conducted with a PC review code. Nintendo Wire accepted the code to have an early review under the assumption that the Switch port would not offer a dramatically different experience.
