Trainers looking to get a head start on the Cleffa Hatch Day event can clear out their Egg stash thanks to a hatch distance bonus happening before the event. This Cleffa Hatch Day Extended Bonuses “event” will also add some Field Research tasks into the mix. (For more details about…
Thanks to the efforts of the Video Game History Foundation, another bit of Nintendo history has been preserved and released online. Yesterday, Frank Cifaldi (founder and director of VGHF) uploaded the ROM data for a prototype cartridge of the original Legend of Zelda on NES. Twitter user MrTalida then dug…
As part of the typical Nintendo hype cycle, the company has uploaded a new trailer that gives fans an overview of what to expect with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It’s kind of funny to start with the narrator being surprised Mario is made of paper considering we’ve had six…
These days, I very rarely play games in handheld mode. I hold nothing against the idea of it, but if I can play a game on the big screen, I will, and the Nintendo Switch is brilliant for allowing the option with practically every game on the platform. There’s one…
Blade Strangers is one of the oddest fighting games on Switch, being a cross-over brawler with an eclectic selection of franchises, where Curly from Cave Story can fight Shovel Knight. Now another indie character is seemingly set to join the fray, at least going by a mysterious screenshot tweeted out…
Say it ain’t so! Sorry, Shovel Knight fans, you’ll have to wait a tad longer before the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Shovel Knight: King of Cards, Shovel Knight Showdown, and/or the Treasure Trove amiibo 3-pack can be added to your gaming collection. Shared in a blog post over the…
Daemon X Machina didn’t exactly leave a lasting impression on me when it was first announced at E3 last year. The combat involving mechas (called Arsenals) and other giant machines definitely piqued my interest for a short time, the music was right up my alley, and the gameplay looked exciting…

It’s always unfortunate when a game dies out, especially when it’s one from a proven developer. Such was the case for Scalebound, announced exclusively…
Whenever a new demo is available in the Nintendo eShop, there’s a chance that the Digital Foundry team will dive in and start analyzing the technical aspects. After last week’s Nintendo Direct dropped one for Yoshi’s Craft World (marking Nintendo’s first foray into the Unreal Engine for Switch), John Linneman…
Astral Chain’s trailer debut during last week’s Direct had me grinnin’, as it marks the return of PlatinumGames to a Nintendo console since Bayonetta 2, their work on Star Fox notwithstanding. While a few things could be gleaned from the trailer in terms of style and gameplay ideas, not much…
The Switch-exclusive Sega Ages series is finally ramping back up, with the Master System’s Alex Kidd in Miracle World getting slated for release in Japan later this week, as reported by Gematsu. Originally released in Japan in 1986, and across the rest of the world in ’87, Alex Kidd in…
Game Informer senior editor Imran Khan has had a busy week in the Nintendo news cycle. Fresh off of crushing Mother fans’ hopes and dreams for the 132,463th time, Khan appeared on Kinda Funny Games on February 13th — the day of the Direct — where he dropped a hot…
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Battle Royale games are all the rage these days. Typically reserved for first and third-person shooters, many were surprised to learn the beloved classic puzzle game Tetris would be entering the fold. I’ll admit I was the first to give it a passing eye-roll. Yet…
