The original DS was full of novel, touchscreen based titles. You had games like Rhythm Heaven and Ghost Trick existing due to this baby and using its unique features to certain degrees. Nintendo even tweaked some of their existing series to suit the system, like with Kirby Canvas Curse and…
Any chance to spotlight Puyo Puyo, I take. While we were lucky enough to see a localization of Puyo Puyo Tetris last year, Japan’s already onto the next entry in the series. It might not be a true step forward, but it’s nice to see that the aptly titled Puyo…
Fans of a gooey little green buddy are going to get their due, as an upcoming update to indie tennis-esque wonder SpiritSphere DX is adding everybody’s favorite ball of goo, Slime-san from… Slime-san. The upcoming changes also include a new stage — the Dojo — as well as some new…
While I’m not the resident reverent roguelike rapscallion (that title goes to the superior spelunky savant Matthew Weidner), I do enjoy a jaunt through an ever-changing dungeon or two every now and then. The cyclical design of the genre allows for a perceptible change of skill growth in your own…
In this 12 minute video, we take a look at most of the Ganondorf armor in the upcoming Diablo III: Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind, we’re still missing the boots and the shoulder pads to complete this entire set. Diablo III: Eternal Collection for Nintendo…
In a game mostly full of projectiles and bombs, it’s nice to see something break the norm. Enter the Ultra Stamp, Splatoon 2’s upcoming special weapon that’s ready to bring the fight nice and close for a change. Move over Inkbrush, because this more melee-esque weapon is in a class…
Mario Tennis Aces still has a few trickshots up its sleeve, with another month-long online tournament character about to come to the game. Have a look at Koopa Paratroopa in action, flying free and with his own mini-squadron as backup. Unlocking him will work the same as all…
Sega Ages, the company’s new initiative to bring perfect ports of classic games to the Nintendo Switch, got off to a rocky start, with the first batch of games being delayed from August into September. Sega’s goal to have a new game live every month was almost at risk too,…
This year, we’re counting down the days to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee!, but last year we had our eyes on Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. Now, if you can believe it, it’s been a year since Mario and Cappy traversed…
Before it was unfortunately shutdown, I loved using Swapnote with friends and coworkers. While it may be gone, its mascot and hostess has managed to stay afloat here and there thanks to a cute design and demeanor. And if you’re a Nintendo character with a bit of charm, you know…
Oh, Pocky. In my experiences this is one of the Japanese snacks a lot of people in America are introduced to first. Fairly available and different enough from anything we have here, there’s a certain novelty to this chocolate covered biscuit sticks. They even have their own day drummed up…
Capcom has been steadfast in its support for the Nintendo Switch so far, but one of its bigger tentpole franchises, Resident Evil, has only seen two major ports in the west – both Resident Evil Revelations games. Next year things will finally turn around, however! Thanks to a tweet from…
