According to some new rumors coming from the Famiboards, it appears as if Nintendo is amping up production of the Switch 2 to meet a theoretically gigantic launch. With no official announcement of the Switch’s successor upon us yet, gamers and industry pundits have been left to speculate on what…
It was confirmed today that Pokémon Horizons will be returning for a second season, exclusively on Netflix! Season 2 of Horizons will debut on February 7th, 2025. As has been the case since Journeys debuted on the platform, the season will most likely be split into parts with about 12…
It’s that time of year again; the air is getting colder, leaves are falling, and the days are getting shorter. All of these signs point to one thing: holiday sales are rolling out! Indeed, it’s the perfect time of year to chip away at your wishlist as retailers everywhere start…
Cotton Reboot! updates and aims to improve upon 1991’s Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. It does so most apparently by updating the visuals throughout, with new sprite work and effects soaring across the screen as you play through its seven stages. This arranged mode is the main attraction of the reboot,…
Legend of Mana was not a game I’d ever really heard a word about. I knew of it – the series had to continue somewhere after the SNES era – but people didn’t speak of it like they spoke of its predecessors. Secret of Mana was the 16-bit era action…
About three years ago Nintendo and Camelot doubled up for the Switch’s first Mario sports title. Mario Tennis Aces enhanced the core gameplay of that series, giving it meter management and more techniques to master for even the most ardent athletes. It may’ve been held back in some ways, but…
This year is turning out to be a pretty good year to be a Monster Hunter fan. Not only were we treated to the latest entry in the mainline series, Monster Hunter Rise, but we’re also getting a chance to head back into the world of Monster Hunter Stories with…
The red haired hero Adol Christin has adventured back onto the Nintendo Switch with a port of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, the latest entry in Falcom’s long-running Japanese action RPG series, but this time around he’s got a new ‘do and his adventuring has been somewhat… restricted. Breaking outta Balduq…
When you regularly experience different games and stories, becoming somewhat set in your ways is unavoidable. You know what you like, you know what you don’t; and if you’re like me you sometimes actively push back against the memetic spread of hype when something out of your usual tastes starts…
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 has finally landed on Nintendo Switch, something I’d hoped would happen since the game was announced. Growing up in the ’90s, whenever I was outside I usually had a skateboard in tow, and whenever I was inside I was parked in front of the TV,…
There’s a joke I hear around the gaming community sometimes that’s some variation of “every game these days is either about a man with a gun or a woman with depression.” While obviously reductive for comedic purposes, at times it feels like there’s a real strain of truth to that…
Geese are on the rise in games, and while it was a rather nasty one who paved the way, how’d you like to be a honkin’ hero for a change? That’s what Mighty Goose promises, a bite sized 2D shooter from Blastmode Games, and it delivers. Comparisons to Metal Slug…
Despite effectively being Sega’s original mascot, Alex Kidd has only seen ports for over 30 years, with the last brand-new entry being 1990’s Alex Kidd in Shinobi World. The big-eared hero might be getting a second chance, though, as the fans of the series at Merge Games and Jankenteam have…
At this point, it feels like every series has had a rerelease or collection come out on the Switch. However, there has long been a ninja-shaped hole in the console’s library. That changes in a big way with the release of the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. This package combines the…
There’s seemingly no genre of video game Nintendo hasn’t touched in its multi-decade existence in the industry. Sure some have their prominence, particularly platformers, but it’s when they try something different that really gets my attention. That goes double for when a game never manages to leave Japan, becoming this…
