As is tradition every quarter, Nintendo has released a new issue of its in-house magazine titled “Nintendo Magazine.” Shockingly original name aside, this Winter 2024 issue is now available digitally, and physical issues for the Japanese market will be shipping out soon. This newest release contains information about Nintendo’s games…
I didn’t anticipate that I would be writing about a new Sega Genesis cartridge in 2024, but we’re certainly living in some bizarre times. To promote the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, Sega has produced some promotional Genesis cartridges that include EPK (electronic press kit) materials. There’s even a…
What better time than a Thursday evening to get some surprise Nintendo news? Nintendo has just shadow-dropped the Game Boy’s Donkey Kong Land on the Nintendo Switch Online service. Grab a vine and join the thrills in the Land of Kong. Donkey Kong Land is now available to play…
If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s easy to be wary of mobile games that make their way to consoles. More often than not they were designed for a different type of experience, like being held in a single hand versus played with a controller. That’s not even getting into…
Fitness games have come a long way since they were first introduced all the way back on the NES. Every console generation pretty much had something. You had Track and Field on the NES, the incredibly expensive Lifecycle set for the Super Nintendo, and even games like Dance Dance Revolution…
The SaGa series may not have the same foothold in the west as other Square Enix franchises, but nevertheless it’s held strong over the years, seeing new releases, retro ports, and an exceedingly popular mobile game. This latest release falls into the second category, bringing back the three Game Boy…

Normally when a series grips me the way Fire Emblem has, I deep dive into as many releases as possible. Anyone who was introduced by Super Smash Bros. “Wait, who’s Marth?” Melee will tell you that for the longest time that was a very shallow pool. Being in a post-Awakening…
The Taiko no Tatsujin series has been making noise on consoles, handhelds, and in arcades for almost two decades, and for the most part it’s consisted of cute and colorful rhythm games, where the main focus is offering up a selection of music to play at your leisure. In 2014,…
When the original Hyrule Warriors was announced in 2013, I was over-the-Termina-moon hyped for it. The Legend of Zelda is by far my favorite Nintendo franchise, and Hyrule Warriors looked dedicated to fulfilling my fanboy desires with insane crossovers from all ends of the Zelda timeline. I’ve easily logged over…
The first Switch game I fell in love with was Puyo Puyo Tetris. I’ve made no secret of my fondness for Sega’s flagship puzzle series, but since those earliest days of the system there’s been more competition in the tile matching genre. Other Puyo Puyo releases old and new plus…
Let’s get the most obvious critique you will probably hear about Immortals: Fenyx Rising out of the way: Yes, the game is strikingly similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I’m not talking about a few one-off mechanics, either. The entire experience, from the very beginning to…
Music has such a crucial place in video games, working its way into your experience with every note. The Kingdom Hearts series knows this, with series composer Yoko Shimomura’s work bringing a familiar sensation to anyone who’s ever swung a Keyblade. Through their dedication to recurring themes like Simple and…
The Wii, like any Nintendo system, will be best remembered for the games published by its own creator. Like, who doesn’t love Super Mario Galaxy or Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, or Wii Music? Oftentimes third party titles can be a little more varied, though, and don’t endear themselves quite…
As we all head towards the coldest time of the year so too does Galar look a bit more chilly, at least for those trainers who’ve purchased the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass. Featuring more species to fill your Dex with, new ways to Max Raid, and plenty of…
