With the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation less than a month away now, people are understandably very eager to learn more about the successor to the Switch. While more is known now than has ever been before, there has been little in the way of specific information made available quite yet….
One of the first games shown during today’s Indie World showcase was the puzzle-platformer ElecHead, which really impresses with its core concept and stylish look. Put together by a sole developer, ElecHead has you control a little robot whose head can provide power to nearby objects, which results in plenty…
A name can do a game wonders, often evoking some sort of feeling or expectation before you’ve begun to play. Today’s Indie World presentation had no shortage of excellent titles, but for my money there’s no better christening than that of Gunbrella. It tells you all you need to know…
What if Dark Souls… but crab? That’s the main promise of Another Crab’s Treasure from Aggro Crab games – what if you took the tight, difficult combat defined by FromSoftware and took it under the sea. As a hermit crab whose shell has been repossessed, you’ll explore a…
Today’s Indie World had a few oddities but few caught my eye quite like Wayward Strand and its alternate 1970’s Australian flying hospital. Yes, that’s really the setting. Taking to the skies is the young investigative journalist Casey who explores the hospital in real time. Depending on the playthrough, you’ll…

Every quarter, Nintendo’s investor site is updated with financial documents outlining the company’s progress for the fiscal year.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to talk about Monster Hunter Stories 2, Capcom’s more story and RPG based spin on the series, but here we are with some news! Granted, it’s not so much for the game itself, but for the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion. Just…
Along with their latest investor report and presentation, Nintendo has updated their Top Selling Title list for the Switch. While there isn’t a whole lot of movement compared to December’s figures (shared back in February), every title in the top four continues to see sales. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in…
Nintendo themselves have been fairly conservative when it comes to Switch Pro Controller designs. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate both got that premium treatment, but once again it’s Capcom that really seems to lean into peripherals. Thanks to Monster Hunter Rise alone we’ve gotten six amiibo, and…
Today Bandai Namco announced that it would be the publisher to release the once Apple Arcade exclusive Lego Brawls to more platforms, including the Switch.
