And that’s…
The new Nintendo Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has left Digital Foundry rather impressed. The renowned tech analyst group published a new video giving a thorough rundown of the release’s specifications, and how it compares to other versions. It concluded it “is largely an excellent Switch…
A user on Weibo has uploaded what appears to be an interview with Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe from Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream. In the article, Tanabe states that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was his final game at Nintendo, marking the end of a nearly 40 year career with the…
We’ve been in the era of Nintendo Switch 2 for just over two weeks. One of the major upgrades advertised with the new console was Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Prior to launch, all we were told was that we’d receive a free update promising visual and frame rate improvements, but…
At yesterday’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, Sega surprised everyone by announcing some new DLC for the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. While that initially sounds kind of random, there’s actually a very good reason for it: a bunch of Nickelodeon properties are coming to the game in the form of playable…
Recently I had the opportunity to preview a handful of upcoming titles at Summer Game Fest. These ranged from ones I’d been laser focused on since their announcement and some that had been revealed for the first time less than 24 hours before my appointed time. The bulk of these…

Today’s Nintendo Direct for Donkey Kong Bananza unleashed a ton of information about the game that fills in some of the gaps from its reveal. We now know that Pauline is DK’s sidekick, most of the Kong family is back, and even Rambi will make an appearance. More important to…
With how long the original Nintendo Switch managed to last on store shelves, it should come as no surprise that some of the earliest Switch 2 games were originally designed for the Switch 1. One such is the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the third installment of Koei Tecmo’s…
Despite having just launched the Switch 2, Nintendo news is pretty dry at the moment. With the summer almost upon us, it seems Nintendo is letting its already massive library of Switch 1 titles do the heavy lifting while it prepares more next-generation experiences. That’s what makes this 16-second teaser…
Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
There’s no shortage of Sonic the Hedgehog spinoffs in general. Ranging from exceptional (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Battle) to regrettable (Sonic Shuffle, Knuckles’ Chaotix), that polarization extends pretty evenly to past racing games.
