The history of the Fire Emblem franchise is one fraught with a lot of obscurity and uncertainty. With the franchise nearly being canceled entirely prior to the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening, it has been quite a winding path to get to where it is now. Despite these troubles, the…
Nintendo Switch Online is back with new icons, this time themed to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Celebrating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid Battle event that will kick off in a few weeks, the icons are meant to get players excited for the battles ahead! In the meantime, you can enjoy…
The last time we heard news of 3DClouds’ nautical action-RPG King of Seas, it was the bittersweet report that the game was delayed into May for further polish and a broader localization.

Fresh off their foray into Fortnite, perhaps the two most recognizable Street Fighter characters are setting their sights on a new crossover. Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid already spans many corners of Saban’s super sentai series, but now these world warriors are adding its farthest reach yet. Best of…
While people have been bemoaning the amount of swords in the game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had a much more combustible agenda brewing. The irony of explosives sneaking by isn’t lost on me, nor is it when you consider one of the most heavily armed fighters is also their…
