The Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises event is going on now, and runs until November 1st at 4:59 a.m. local time. What new Pokémon are in Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises?…
It was only a matter of time before the Switch 2 was jailbroken, though I didn’t expect it to happen a little over a year after the console’s release. On Twitter yesterday, user pepsipu posted a clip of a modded version of Mario Kart World and announced, “I jailbroke the…
It’s been quite a long time since Katana Zero released in 2019, but its developer, Askiisoft, has been working on DLC for the past half decade. Announced as free many years ago, lead designer/creator Justin Stander posted on social media today that not only is Katana Zero’s DLC still in…
The Final Fantasy series has evolved tremendously in the nearly four decades since its debut on the Famicom in the late 1980s. While most recent entries in the legendary RPG series have shifted toward fast-paced, real-time combat, for me, Final Fantasy will always be at its absolute best when it…
In a rather lengthy interview published by Famitsu today (via Nintendo Everything), key developers behind the upcoming Pokémon Pokopia were asked a number of questions regarding the game’s development, inspirations, and art style, among others. On hand were Game Freak’s Shigeru Omori (Director), The Pokémon Company’s Kanako Murata (Development and…
After a rather brief trailer for the upcoming DLC for last year’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Microsoft revealed that its critically acclaimed action/adventure title would be making the jump to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. While that could mean anything from early 2026 to later in the year,…
One of the most appealing aspects of the Pokémon franchise is how iconic all of the Pokémon themselves are; with over 1,000 unique characters now, each one is someone’s favorite. That being said, some are certainly more popular than others. In the hallmarks of fan-favorite Pokémon, Gyarados ranks highly as…
Splatoon 3’s Side Order DLC was Off the Hook’s show. Plenty of Pearl and Marina moments filled the rogue-like climbs through the Spire of Order, but those weren’t the only Splatoon 2 throwbacks. Just like the first wave of content focused on Inkopolis, fans are able to return to Inkopolis…
Along with the full reveal of its new Magolor Epilogue, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe’s main draw in the latest Nintendo Direct was the announcement of an eShop demo. Available now, you’ll find both stages and sub games within that can all be enjoyed by up to four players!…
Kirby’s Dream Buffet released recently, a multiplayer game somewhere between Mario Party and Fall Guys full of delicious fun. And while you can pick up the little game for yourself at $14.99, there are also a couple upcoming My Nintendo rewards featuring the pink puffball you might want to take…
This is part 2 of a multipart review. You can read part 1 here. I hate open world games*. I adore Xenoblade. *Except Breath of the Wild. Because its world was designed by the people who make Xenoblade. I’ve thought about this seeming contradiction for practically a decade now. While…
In today’s world of remasters and revivals, I might be most grateful for the love that Crash Bandicoot has gotten over the last couple of years. I considered myself lucky when the original trilogy ended up with a remaster, and even luckier that it turned out as great as it…
N64 classic and hallmark of my childhood Star Wars Episode I: Racer speeds onto the Switch eShop today, and a new launch trailer has been released in celebration. Showcasing the original game’s tracks along with the new motion controls, it’s sure to provide a blast of nostalgia to those who…
Independently developed games flourished during the 2010s to a degree never seen before. At the beginning of the decade, only a few titles — the Cave Stories, Castle Crashers and Super Meat Boys of the world — drew much attention, and it was difficult for titles that didn’t specifically appeal…
Teasers are usually innocuous and easy to pull off. Just drop a cryptic name (maybe with a letter or two shaved off) that no other tech company or start-up has ever used (like “Linoleum” or “Rubbr”) — and presto. That said, going the opposite direction — showing the product without…
