We’ve gotten so used to seeing new releases make their way into Tetris 99 as themes that it’s a little odd to see something that’s been around for a while make the cut. Yet like a well-honed weapon, Monster Hunter Rise is entering the fray after months of being available,…
There was no stealing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s thunder today, what with the introduction of Sora to the game as the final DLC fighter, but Mr. Sakurai had a very interesting announcement seemingly wedged into his presentation. The entire Kingdom Hearts series (or at least the non-mobile entries) is arriving…

Great box art can make a world of difference for a game. While it’s ultimately what’s inside that really counts, how else are you going to tempt people over that aren’t glued to every Nintendo Direct and social post? Thanks to updated retail listings, we’ve gotten a look at Advance…
That’s one way to celebrate a 25th anniversary! Bokujō Monogatari, the farming sim series known as Story of Seasons outside of Japan, has hit a huge milestone. The newest game in the series, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, has been selling well since it launched back in February…
