After years of speculation and anticipation, publisher Forever Entertainment has finally announced that its House of the Dead 2 remake will finally be seeing the light of day this year. Revealed alongside a new trailer, the aptly titled “The House of the Dead 2: Remake” will be hitting Switch and…
The Switch 2 has had a heck of a media week, especially in Las Vegas.

Genki in specific claimed this was…

Until Nintendo officially announces something about the much-anticipated console, this flurry of speculation is likely to continue. With that said, let’s continue…

It feels like the Switch is getting new fighting games fairly regularly, usually in the form in re-released classics or spinoffs of existing franchises. Nothing new had cropped up and caught my eye, until out of nowhere during E3 2017 when Nicalis started showing off this unheard of fighting game…
Regardless of what types of games I played growing up, sprites are always going to define “video game” for me in a visual sense. There’s something so pure to the medium about pixels coming together — you can even guess when a game was created based on how it looks…

The crumbs have settled, the plates are licked, and all the leftovers have been packed away — the great cutlery calamity of Splatoon 2’s Splatfest has subsided. There appears to have been a shine towards Spoons based on popularity, but once again that’s not enough to secure the true victory….

It’s no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of both Metroidvanias and roguelikes ever since I was a old enough to coddle a controller. Like peanut butter and chocolate I’d always imagined the two could go together smoothly, despite their conflicting concepts around general progression and character growth. Games…
As we approach the end of August, many of us were starting to wonder just when the first wave of Sega Ages titles (Sonic the Hedgehog and Thunder Force IV) would hit Switch. Now, it’s been confirmed that the two titles have been pushed back into September for “quality improvement.”…
We already know Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to have a massive cast of unlockable characters – everyone besides the base members of the Nintendo 64 game needs to be unlocked, through methods unknown right now. That said, an alternative method may have just presented itself via Best…
