First 4 Figures, the premiere video game statue manufacturer, has announced a brand new “We <3 Kirby” statue for pre-order on its website. Featuring the pink puffball standing on a pedestal and holding a heart with the words We <3 Kirby, it’s a nice little figurine that would look great…
When looking at the Super Mario franchise from a modern lens, one of the most distinct aspects is the parallel existence of both traditional 2D entries alongside the more open 3D iterations. This side-by-side formula didn’t always exist, though; the jump to 3D would need a bit over a decade…
In modern times, year five of a console’s lifespan is usually around the time things start winding down, to get prepared for year six or seven when the successor officially debuts. The Wii released in 2006, and by 2011 it was winding down with only the occasional blockbuster release. The…
Developer Rooms in video games are an easter egg tradition that goes back decades. From Chrono Trigger to nearly every Pokémon game, you can find little rooms where the game’s makers talk passionately about their work and express thanks.

Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a game that’s sold more than a few copies. Almost 50 million, to be exact. Most of those sales have come from the United States, but it would be mistaken to say it’s a low seller elsewhere. And in Japan, it’s just crossed a large…
Surely you’ve had the feeling before of playing a game and going “man, this would be such a cool anime.” Well, Japanese publication Anime! Anime! asked its fans which anime adaptations of popular video games they’d like to see in 2023 and beyond, and the poll results show some big…
With how sizeable the Switch’s Arcade Archives selection is already it can be easy to forget what games haven’t appeared yet. Apparently, Taito’s classic arcade platformer Bubble Bobble has been a no-show all this time, despite it being perfectly suited to co-op Joy-Con play! Thankfully Hamster Corporation has remedied that…
2022 has been a rather big year for Capcom, with new Resident Evil reveals, a Battle Network collection finally being announced, Monster Hunter Rise getting expanded upon, and much more besides. Now the company is asking fans to have their say with an all-new End of the Year Survey. Questions…
Ah, Switch Pro rumors. Like a slasher villain, they just never die. While most people moved on with the release of the nicer but not “pro” Switch OLED Model last year, the fire still burns in some. But the latest whispers on the rumor mill are of a different variety…
Despite it being less than six months until the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there’s a great deal yet we don’t know about the game, having to rely on the smallest of details to scrap together information. And here’s another one of those – a…
2023 is just a few days away, which means that the time for year-end roundups and statistics. And Nintendo is no different – after releasing a tool for us all to reflect on our own playtimes throughout the year, the company has also released its ranking of eShop titles by…
