Earlier today at Sony’s State of Play, Final Fantasy: The Ivalice Chronicle was officially revealed — a full remake/remaster of the legendary Final Fantasy Tactics from the original PlayStation era. And here’s the big news: it’s not just coming to PlayStation. The Ivalice Chronicle is launching on both the Nintendo…
The classic Sonic the Hedgehog games are no stranger to getting the compilation treatment. Most Nintendo fans of a certain age will fondly remember Sonic Mega Collection with its amazing menu music, huge variety of games, and array of extras, and a few years before that there was Sonic Jam…
Few companies can match Capcom when it comes to the realm of fighting games. Headlined by Street Fighter but supplemented by several genre-mates over the years, anytime these titles come together is cause for celebration. Plenty of compilations from Capsule Computers are already available on Switch, but for once we’re…
Note: The review copy distributed was for the Steam version. Thus, the review may not reflect how the version on Switch performs or differs. I have discovered the truth of this world. And that truth is that AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative might just be one of the…
Growing up as a kid in the early 90’s means that I was, of course, obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My brother and I owned far too many Turtle toys and watched the show religiously. TMNT: Hyperstone Heist for the SEGA Genesis was one of the only video…

The latest entry in the Wii Sports series, Nintendo Switch Sports, has finally landed in our hands and I’ve been able to spend a ton of time with it over the last few days. Six sports are available to play at launch: Volleyball, Badminton, and Soccer are all brand-new to…
When I picked up Bugsnax for this review, I knew that it started life as an exclusive launch title for the PS5, but little else. I thought that Bugsnax was the name of the protagonist, and that it would be your standard quirky adventure game. Instead I was greeted to…
If you’re remotely familiar with my taste in games or our coverage here at Nintendo Wire you’ll know that Kirby floats high above the rest as a personal favorite. The pink puffball has endeared himself to plenty, and 2018’s Kirby Star Allies was one I eagerly awaited as soon as…
Let’s not waste time – 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a testament to video games as both art and a storytelling medium. This was one of my favorites of 2020 and will likely be a favorite of 2022 all over again. If the idea of a multi-character science fiction narrative…
Ahh LEGO Star Wars, the OG of licensed LEGO games. When the original LEGO Star Wars dropped in 2005, its success ushered in an entire genre of licensed games that has had largely the same formula between plenty of the world’s most popular franchises. How fitting it is, then, that…
