During today’s Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, Capcom was on hand to showcase some gameplay of Street Fighter 6 running on the Switch 2. While the game is obviously not on par with the visuals for the PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X versions of the game, it does still…
In a surprising bit of news this morning, Nintendo of America has revealed that the pre-order date for the Switch 2 has been delayed so that the company can assess the impact of the latest round of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. GameSpot was given a statement from the…
The Nintendo Direct has officially wrapped, and the Nintendo Switch 2 has been fully unveiled! With the hardware, release date, and pricing now revealed, it’s time to turn our attention to the games. Nintendo will host Treehouse Live events on Thursday, April 3rd, and Friday, April 4th at 7 a.m….
I struggle to think of a Nintendo series that has consistently “found itself” the way Pikmin has. Few titles get the kind of treatment it has – a myth-like origin story involving Miyamoto in his garden, multiple Japanese pop songs, cameos in unexpected places (data transfer apps? Super Nintendo World?),…
If any one indie title has really struck a chord with me over the last decade, it was Oxenfree from Night School Studios. Focusing on a group of teens who accidentally open an otherworldly rift during an overnight beach party and their subsequent haunted adventure around Edwards Island, the game…
When Sonic Origins launched last year it was rife with technical issues and felt somewhat light on content in comparison to earlier compilations of the blue blur’s earliest adventures. That said, these issues didn’t necessarily detract from the core experiences of each title, as we covered in our review. Now…
For a generation of players, the Ace Attorney series significantly uplifted (if not outright defined) text based adventure games. Since the games first turned about in 2001 they’ve grown into a multi-media franchise and genuine icon. That level of popularity and success, most of it under the direction of Shu…
Nintendo’s tactical endeavors have been firmly vested into Fire Emblem. It makes sense too – greater narrative possibilities, gameplay that maintains a core identity while trying new things, hundreds of characters to put into a gacha game. It was the right call, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only option….
The Final Fantasy franchise holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. What began as a passion project by a dedicated team of developers at SquareSoft in Japan has grown into a billion dollar franchise with 16 numbered entries and a plethora of spinoffs, ranging from kart racing…
Have a Nice Death sees you playing as the titular Death, a classic-looking grim reaper who is the CEO of Death, Inc. Death has had a long life reaping souls from the world of the living, but when it became too much for him to handle, he created the Sorrows…
UPDATE (Tuesday, September 26th, 2023): A free update has been released adding additional chapters and puzzles. The review below is only about Storyteller’s original release and does not cover elements from the free update. (Other than the desire for a free update with more puzzles!) Storyteller appeared on…
It’s impossible to imagine the current state of the Kirby series without Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. The culmination of about four other attempts at a fresh game for the tough pink puff, the Wii era adventure paved the way for future games all the way up to Kirby and…
Despite being a follow up to 2018’s Octopath Traveler, Octopath Traveler II is an entirely standalone experience. The new title features a brand new setting, eight new stories, and eight new travelers to experience those stories with. A lot of the bones are the same here – the eight new…
My favorite 3DS game was Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. I figured it would be best to get that out of the way now. It was the title I spent the most time with on the system, aside from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. As a result of this extensive exposure,…
Fire Emblem as a franchise has had a zigazag of quality over the past decade or so. After stylistically bland DS remakes of some of the series’ earliest games (one of which didn’t even make it out of Japan) came Fire Emblem: Awakening, a game so good it literally changed…
