With full apologies to Golden Sun fans, Mario Golf has been a Switch dream game for me. Easily my favorite of the Mario sports, it had a great showing on 3DS — but unlike Tennis, it hasn’t been on a home console since the GameCube’ Toadstool Tour. Now though, the…
It’s been over a decade since the last numbered sequel in the No More Heroes series, but fellow assassins can rest assured that protagonist Travis Touchdown hasn’t gone soft during his downtime.

I’ve delved into the Skullgirls saga many a time before, and how the game and its community just won’t stay down. Now its latest DLC character has been announced, and she’s perhaps the poster girl for long-term tenacity herself. A story NPC since the game’s original release, allegedly crucial to…
Initially announced last year with a November release date, the Nintendo Switch port of Death Crown has faced a number of delays. Today, this minimalist RTS has successfully defeated these challenges and is ready. You have one week to prepare for battle as Death Crown will pit you against the…
Very Very Valet, the upcoming chaotic co-op puzzler from Toyful Games was announced late last year as a timed Nintendo Switch exclusive. With the game’s release date approaching faster than a puppet valet with a lead foot behind the wheel of a sports car, the game’s developers have decided to…
The new game from the minds behind Danganronpa and the Zero Escape trilogy is nearly upon us, but I don’t know if there’s ever a way to be fully ready. I’m anticipating plenty of twists, turns, and surprises from World End’s Club once it arrives on Nintendo Switch. If you…
