In a recent discussion with VGC, Nightdive Studios bosses Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman have stated that they feel the company is ready to start tackling Xbox 360 and PS3 remasters. While the company has made a name for itself remastering games from the sixth console generation and earlier, including…
I can’t believe we’re this eager to get Switch 2 news out, but Nintendo has shared a brief look at the Switch 2’s brand-new “C” button ahead of tomorrow’s Direct. On the Nintendo Today app, the latest hype video for the Switch 2 gave us a seven-second look at the…
In an astonishing turn of events, the ROM for BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1 has finally been discovered and dumped for preservation. Over the weekend, LuigiBlood (famous for their preservation efforts and Nintendo Direct leaks) announced that they were finally able to secure a copy of the previously…
Fire Emblem: Three Houses managed to be one of the most fully featured and engrossing titles in the series, with its multiple story routes and gameplay additions playing a big part in why it was one of my favorite Switch games of 2019. Nintendo has been keen to support it…
When it comes to fighting games on Switch, we are, thankfully, never short on options. From gems like BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, to indie games like Pocket Rumble and Fantasy Strike, the Switch has been slowly building up a truly impressive library. I’ve played…
Back in 2016 the Wii U was waning more than ever, with only a few Nintendo published titles on the horizon and plenty of murmurs of something called the NX. Among them was Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, a unique blend of Fire Emblem, Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei, and Japan’s entertainment…
There was (and arguably still is) a prevalent attitude about video games as a medium in regards to the essentiality of gameplay: namely, that a video game is only really a video game (or a video game worth commending, at least) if it has some sort of core mechanics and…
The idea of a console based Pokémon experience has been just out of the purview of probability for decades now. After all, the series is a handheld staple and system seller, with developer Game Freak constantly cramming in more creatures and features from game to game. Now here we are,…
Back in 2007, Nintendo attempted to do the impossible. The world’s most beloved and respected game developer was releasing a fitness game…? With a big, bulky scale?! Well, as it turns out, that big bulky scale was actually one of the most innovative devices Nintendo had ever released — and…
If there’s one thing you can say about the Switch, it’s that it has a lot of ports. It’s an understandable phenomenon, really — it stands at a juncture point, offering both a popular place for neglected Wii U titles to go, and a less powerful portable option for third-party…
Before Super Smash Bros. Brawl shattered everyone’s minds, Mario and Sonic met on a different stage. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games kicked off what’s become a solid series of event based minigames, heightened by these two gaming legends and their extended casts. Though the novelty of these two…
It’s been nearly 20 years since Luigi first strapped on his trusty Poltergust to tackle a haunted mansion to save his brother, and while the years since have not granted him any more courage, they have now provided us with two specter-filled sequels. Luigi’s Mansion 3 bucks the trend slightly…
Perhaps more than any other title in the series, Banana Blitz had the most to gain via a revisitation. Originally released for the Wii, it marked not just a new visual style for its primate cast and courses, but it saw control shift from surgeon-precise analog sticks to motion based…
Lucas Pope made a name for himself with 2013’s Papers, Please; a dour dystopic experience where you play as an immigration officer charged with checking those who cross the border to an authoritarian nation. Pope’s previous work was concerned with putting faces and names to the masses that cross the…
Time travel is a well-worn concept in the realm of Japanese role-playing games, from the aeon spanning Chrono Trigger to the many branches of Radiant Historia.
