We’re but a month away from the return of one of the Gamecube’s best and most beloved – Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Even as a remake the return of partners, badges, and this grand adventure have been a long time coming. Nintendo has shared their longest look yet…
Today marks 10 years since one of my all-time favorite rhythm games, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, launched on the Nintendo 3DS. The sequel to the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Curtain Call was jam-packed with amazing Final Fantasy music, characters, and stages. Not to mention the absolutely addicting touch screen…
Sega has uploaded a new multiplayer trailer for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive installment, and it reveals something pretty cool: this latest ball-rolling romp has 16-player multiplayer. I can’t imagine how chaotic that will be when playing against brand-new players, but it seems like a…
The other day, I was looking back through an opinion piece I wrote earlier this year, an evaluation of the Pokémon franchise shortly after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. And while the article has already aged in general, one part in particular jumped out at me: It’s unlikely…
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have been out for a weekend, which means that lots of fans have begun their Paldean adventure — in fact, more than usual, at least in the UK. It turns out that the two entries have had the biggest launch of the year in the region,…
Even though celebrating Black Friday doesn’t make much sense in Europe, what with its connection to the US tradition of Thanksgiving, in recent years it’s become a tentpole event for sales in the region. Nintendo’s not about to let the opportunity slip them by, either, with the company’s European branch…
Kirby and the Forgotten Land has done well. Like, really, really well. Since releasing at the end of March this year, the title has gone on to sell 5.27 million units — which is a decent chunk better than Kirby Star Allies’ 3.98 million copies. In fact, it’s a decent…
You know, everybody always talks about how as soon as Halloween ends they roll out the Christmas (or broader “holiday”) decorations immediately instead of, like, just chilling in November and getting people amped up for Thanksgiving. And there are multiple reasons for that — Christmas is a global holiday while…
In less than two years, Capcom’s latest entry in the flagship series has made an impressive mark on the company’s portfolio. New all-time sales numbers (as of September 30th, 2022) show that Rise has passed 11.2 million copies sold, making it Capcom’s third best-selling game of all time. …
There’s a lot of… junk on the Nintendo eShop. I hesitate to call it that because all games require at least a little bit of effort to get published (more effort than it takes to complain about them on the internet at least), but there’s no doubt that there’s a…
PlatinumGames, longtime revered game developer, has lately been dipping its toes into game publishing with Sol Cresta and the Wonderful 101 Remastered. But the studio is always looking to have more control over its projects when it’s traditionally had to give up the IP rights of the games it works…
Ah, August. The season of football starts. I think. Do I look like someone who knows things about sports? I just watch Jon Bois videos and perennially wait for the Seattle Mariners to break my heart. Okay, hold on let me fact-check myself. …It turns out professional American football starts…
Splatoon 3 has managed to set multiple, impressive sales records in its launch weekend. The squid kids have outdone not just themselves, but every video game ever released in Japan. Per Nintendo themselves, Splatoon 3 sold 3.45 million copies in its first three days of availability in its home country….
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 came out at the end of July, and it’s been a huge success both critically and commercially — fans take to websites like Twitter every day to post fanart, memes, and analysis while showing a deep love for the world and characters. It’s enough to touch the…
Earlier this year, a new Disney-themed life-sim adventure game called Disney Dreamlight Valley was announced.
