If there’s one thing 2025 will likely be remembered for among video game circles, it would be the abundance of cart racers. From Nintendo alone there’s Mario Kart World and soon Kirby Air Riders, not to mention Sega jumping in with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. It seems almost fitting for Sonic…
Sega announced a new “Sonic & Friends x Sanrio characters” product line at Tokyo Toy Show 2025 today. Sonic the Hedgehog and Hello Kitty mascots appeared at the event’s Sega Fave booth to reveal the collaboration, according to Essential Japan (via Sonic City). Sonic & Friends is a series of…

With all the Disney worlds the character visits, fans were no doubt wondering what Sora’s stage would be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Per today’s Mr. Sakurai Presents, it’ll be none of that, with not much mentioned in the way of the House of Mouse. Instead, the character will call…
One of my favorite things about getting a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters is the alternate costumes. While they’re pretty minor in the bigger picture, it’s fun when Sakurai and his team use them to throw in smaller references. That said, Sora’s costumes are anything but small references. In…

It wouldn’t be a Nickelodeon fighting game without some representatives from Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra!

It’s harvest season, and what better game is there to celebrate with than rice-cultivating/demon-slaying indie wonder Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin? Last year’s sleeper hit is getting an art book in Japan very soon, and it’s worth a look. Featuring a respectable 168 pages, the artbook contains everything…

March 2020 was a wild ride that I personally never want to repeat ever again. Yet, there was a major bright spot back then and it was the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch. In the coming weeks (and months), the Animal Crossing series skyrocketed in…
The Mario RPG’s have always been odd in the grand scheme of things. After all, the first had a claymation aesthetic, while Paper Mario flattered the plumber dramatically. Mario & Luigi, meanwhile, wasn’t as huge a departure but it undeniably had a style of its own, especially the first entry,…
