The slow drip feed of classic games for Nintendo Switch Online continues today with the addition of three SNES titles to the Switch’s growing catalog of classic games. As announced by Nintendo on its official YouTube channel, subscribers to NSO can now play “Fatal Fury 2,” “Sutte Hakkun,” and “Super…
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,…
In today’s gaming landscape of muted colors, dramatic set-pieces and deafening explosions, we need more games about a simple father and his loving family. Here is such a game, following the paternal adventures of a charming character and his normal, totally human life. He is most certainly not an octopus…
It’s been four years since Sonic Team’s last outing, Sonic Lost World on the Wii U. In that time, the branch of Sega in charge of the Blue Blur was working on Sonic Forces, the next 3D adventure for Sonic & friends. The marketing bragged that Forces was made by…
Rhythm gaming is something I hold very near and dear to my heart. It’s easy to understand and hard to master, both as a player and as a developer. Those behind Harmonix aren’t strangers to rhythm gaming by any means; after all, they brought Rock Band and Guitar Hero onto…
Doom and I have been on quite the journey together. I remember when I was ten years old, watching my dad play the groundbreaking original title on his Compaq desktop and being floored at what I saw. Up until that moment, video games had been colorful, cheerful and two-dimensional affairs…
I was ten years old when Super Mario 64 first revolutionized 3D gaming as we know it. Leaping onto North American shores two weeks before my birthday, I vividly remember tearing into that plastic, snatching out the cart and sitting glued to my parent’s television for hours on end, slack-jawed…
Please note: This game is available on both the Nintendo Switch and New 3DS systems. For the purposes of this review, we’ve played the Switch version. 2017’s been very good to Fire Emblem. I’ve been playing Heroes daily since it released, and Shadows of Valentia stands as one of the…
Over the years, Etrian Odyssey has become one of my favorite smaller franchises on the 3DS. Its retro feel and tight mechanics coupled with a vivid style make every single entry solid, even if few really stand out. And while there’s been a smattering of games on the system —…
The Game Boy Advance had some real standout games across the board, and its RPG collection was top-notch. Multiple Pokémon and Fire Emblem games, Mother 3, both Golden Suns: it was almost too good to be true. But even within those there was a special little game starring a couple…
There’s no shortage of outstanding indie games on the Nintendo Switch right now, and it’s far too easy to let an indie gem slip through the cracks. One outstanding indie you can’t let pass by is Tiny Barbarian DX. Tiny Barbarian combines fast action platforming with an unforgettable look and…
88 Heroes is perhaps the craziest platformer I have ever played, plain and simple. It’s a game that doesn’t pull punches by any means, with a steep learning curve and many, many heroes to master. It lives up to its name, quite literally, by having 88 — or 98 in…
The Professor Layton series has been around for a decade now, and I’m surprised at how singularly unique it’s managed to be in all that time. I’ve enjoyed it since the initial entry back on DS, so when I heard that it was breaking out of its long latency in…
It’s no secret that the Switch is quickly becoming the home for an insane amount of great indie titles. The critically acclaimed Golf Story, Stardew Valley and Axiom Verge have all released in the last two weeks on the platform, but those are just some of the heavy hitters —…
