Split Fiction, the latest co-op multiplayer game by developer Hazelight, launched on March 6th to critical acclaim. Shortly after launch, it was rumored that a movie adaptation was in the works for the game and we’ve now received confirmation on its existence, along with one of the stars as well…
As the “Year of Eevee” celebration continues, more and more merchandise centered around the beloved Evolution Pokémon continues to be revealed. Just last week a brand-new life-size Eevee plush was shown off, but that wasn’t to be all they had in store. A new batch of life-size plushies have been…
In a series of posts over on Twitter, former Capcom composer Masakazu Sugimori has suggested that Ace Attorney would not have become a franchise if it were released in the current gaming industry. As he explains, the initial sales numbers were so low that any modern publisher would have completely…
While usually making content for weekly Famitsu, there’s no monopoly on the words, thoughts, and overall remarks of Masahiro Sakurai, resident Smash auteur. Nintendo Dream conducted a dream with Sakurai last month, which they’ve only recently posted online. @PushDustIn of Source Gaming has provided a valuable translation as always —…

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…
Note: The rumor’s original source page is having some difficulties at this time. A partial, verified transcript of the information can be found in this Resetera thread. 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…
