With only a week left to go in May, it’s time for Nintendo to spring some new classic games onto its NSO service. Instead of a broad selection of titles, this month sees four new Game Boy games getting added, with one being a ludicrously expensive Game Boy Color game….
One of the more baffling decisions when it comes to the Switch 2 is Nintendo skipping out on Hall Effect joysticks for the Joy-Con 2. We’ve previously discussed the benefits of Hall Effect joysticks before on Nintendo Wire, but suffice it to say, it’s a seriously big missed opportunity on…
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin managed to steal a lot of hearts when it came out last year. The blend of quick-paced action and methodical rice farming, all carried by a lovely artstyle, was a hit and has continued to sell well. So much so, that in a recent Marvelous…
When looked at from a series-wide perspective, there are definitely some patterns and “sets” of games in the Kirby series. The fan named Dark Matter Trilogy, for example, which shares several themes and aesthetics likely stemming from their director across Kirby’s Dream Land 2, Dream Land 3, and 64: The…
Check out Builder Toadette’s debut trailer below! Toadette is one of the best things to happen to the Mario series when it comes to modern additions. It’s simple really – add braids to Toad’s design, throw in a cheerful attitude, and swirl in plenty of pink. She’s made…
For its next DLC fighter, Samurai Shodown is heading back to its earliest days for a recurring character that I’m surprised hasn’t been included until now. Shiro Tokisada Amakusa was the original game’s final boss, and since then has shown up in subsequent titles and occasionally in other SNK works….

Overwatch’s long-time director, Jeffrey Kaplan, stepped down from his position and left Blizzard Entertainment quite abruptly last month, with the company naming Aaron Keller as Kaplan’s successor.

Hot off the heels of yesterday’s opening movie debut, NEO: The World Ends with You has brought on a wave of new screenshots. These cover the whole range of gameplay, with looks at the game’s cutscenes and menus offering looks at various character designs as well. It all looks quite…
With a title like Famicom Detective Club, it’s clear these mystery adventures have some history behind them. Sadly, that legacy remained Japan-only save a few shout-outs from Smash Bros. For the curious and invested alike that wait for recognition (and especially localization) is finally over. Both Famicom…
Another Monster Hunter Rise Event Quest is making its way to the game, pairing up some of the game’s fiercest monsters with a new reward. By clearing this brand new challenge, players will earn some new Titles for their Guild Card. Admittedly it’s not the most exciting prize, but it…
If there’s one thing The World Ends with You has always brought, it’s style. Nothing showcases that better in the here and now than its long-awaited sequel’s opening movie, fresh from the streets of Shibuya and best served via headphones turned as high as they’ll go. Some familiar…
