Nintendo is continuing its trend of offering obscure or childhood favorite N64 games to Nintendo Switch Online. Not long ago, we unexpectedly received Rare’s cult classic destruction simulator/time attack extravaganza Blast Corps. Before that, 1080 Snowboarding filled the arcade Snowboarding game spot on Nintendo Switch left by the absence of…
It may have been obvious to fans that the upcoming film Sonic the Hedgehog 3 would be taking some elements from the 2001 Dreamcast title Sonic Adventure 2, but the connections might be going deeper than anticipated. In a new interview with GamesRadar+, Sonic 3 producer Toby Ascher that the…
What’s that carving down the slopes of nostalgia, big stupid noses guiding to a ski lift? Why, it’s Snowboard Kids! The fan-favorite N64 racing game that continues to elude the Switch Online service is getting a little more love from the folks at Fangamer. No strangers to Atlus merch, this…
There’s a joke I hear around the gaming community sometimes that’s some variation of “every game these days is either about a man with a gun or a woman with depression.” While obviously reductive for comedic purposes, at times it feels like there’s a real strain of truth to that…
Geese are on the rise in games, and while it was a rather nasty one who paved the way, how’d you like to be a honkin’ hero for a change? That’s what Mighty Goose promises, a bite sized 2D shooter from Blastmode Games, and it delivers. Comparisons to Metal Slug…
Despite effectively being Sega’s original mascot, Alex Kidd has only seen ports for over 30 years, with the last brand-new entry being 1990’s Alex Kidd in Shinobi World. The big-eared hero might be getting a second chance, though, as the fans of the series at Merge Games and Jankenteam have…
At this point, it feels like every series has had a rerelease or collection come out on the Switch. However, there has long been a ninja-shaped hole in the console’s library. That changes in a big way with the release of the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. This package combines the…
There’s seemingly no genre of video game Nintendo hasn’t touched in its multi-decade existence in the industry. Sure some have their prominence, particularly platformers, but it’s when they try something different that really gets my attention. That goes double for when a game never manages to leave Japan, becoming this…
Miitopia, Nintendo’s Mii-centric RPG adventure, has landed on Nintendo Switch, and I’ve spent the past week and change diving into it to see everything it had to offer. I’ve reviewed Miitopia once before, four years ago when it was released on the Nintendo 3DS. Back then I found that the…
The past few years have been good to the confusingly titled Wonder/Monster Boy/World franchise. After decades of silence, we received multiple remakes and even one officially licensed sequel, while the classic games have made regular appearances in collections and on the Sega Genesis Mini. Better yet, almost all of these…
I love everything about the ocean; I love the fish, the tropical summertime vibes, the sound of the waves – everything! When I saw King of Seas, I immediately knew I needed to play it. I intentionally held off on playing the demo that’s available on the eShop because I…
In remaking any game from the last century – especially those that hail all the way back from the 70’s or 80’s – there’s a sort of balancing act that has to occur. Any game from that period is, by its very nature, antiquated, and those updating it for modern…
The PlayStation 2 brought the world several top class RPGs. Many either started new franchises on the system or saw older classics take massive leaps thanks to the new hardware, with Atlus coming out in full with some of their best. The Persona series began its break out into the…
Let me get this out of the way first and foremost: I never played the original Subnautica. As an unashamed lover of fish and all things tropical, that’s an absolute crime against myself, yet having not played it before turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I went into…
From the ashes of Super Mario Bros. 35 comes a new classic turned battle royale. Bandai Namco, Arika, and Nintendo have come together to gift players Pac-Man 99; a high speed and highly competitive twist on the arcade legend. Read on to see how it stacks up to fellow freebie…
