The Nintendo Direct has officially wrapped, and the Nintendo Switch 2 has been fully unveiled! With the hardware, release date, and pricing now revealed, it’s time to turn our attention to the games. Nintendo will host Treehouse Live events on Thursday, April 3, and Friday, April 4 at 7:00 AM…
The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been unveiled. Nintendo confirmed it comes with 256GB of internal storage, which is eight times more than the original Switch. But here’s the thing: games have never been bigger. AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 clock in at a massive 64 gigs. If you’re anything…
No sooner did Nintendo confirm that the Switch 2 utilizies DLSS and will support ray-tracing that Nvidia has now given us a breakdown of the CPU and GPU the console will contain. While there aren’t raw numbers to compare against Nintendo’s rivals, we do know that not only are DLSS…
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…
If you’ve yet to do the odyssey and travel around the world with Mario, you might be in luck. Next month, Nintendo of America is set to release a new starter pack bundle featuring Super Mario Odyssey and the game’s accompanying Traveler’s Guide, and it’ll cost the same as the…
The Rathalos Assist/Boss reveal during the recent Direct definitely blindsided me. We’d had the Monster Hunter armor for Mii Fighters and as a franchise it has been fairly associated with Nintendo (or rather the 3DS), but I never would’ve guessed its inclusion. But here we are, with the Monster of…
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….
December always feels so far away, and this year I place the blame firmly on Smash. The turnaround time on this game is incredible, but we still have to wait for it and all it’ll include for another three months. Judging by Amazon’s Best Sellers list though, we’re not the…

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…
In a surprise announcement that very few people could have seen coming, the first SNK Heroines DLC character has been announced and it’s Thief Arthur from Square Enix’s Million Arthur series.
