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…
The fact that Sonic Mania has been successful enough to warrant a full, animated miniseries is one of my favorite things about its release. That goes double for it keeping the style and direction of Tyson Hesse, the key artist behind the game’s intro cutscene and trailers. Have a look…
While today it’s just a mildly fancy synonym for “story,” the term “saga” originally denoted specific histories — Nordic and Germanic yarns of the past, grand tales of journeys, feuds, and heroes that shaped the present day. And while many a fantasy series or book has utilized the term for…
While most people are likely looking to SNK’s upcoming 40th Anniversary Collection with an eye on those classic arcade titles, the game I’m most interested in is the little forgotten NES gem Crystalis. Playing similarly to most action RPGs of the era, most notably Zelda, Crystalis has the unique hook…

There are plenty of castles presented throughout games in Nintendo’s long history, but only one that belongs to a certain princess can reign above them all. If it’s anyone, it’s gotta be Peach, with her Super Mario 64 styled castle making the biggest impression. So here we are, with it…
Paladins, a free-to-play shooter, has up to now been available to purchase in the $25 Founder’s Pack, with the intention to release the free version later this year. Well, the free version got a surprise release today, and is available to download from the Nintendo Switch eShop right now. We…
Cheat codes might be a thing of the past for the most part, but then again so is Sonic Mania. And it looks like this perfect blend of then and now from Sega and its dev team has another throwback hiding under the hood… Over on the Sonic Stadium, a…
While various Nintendo franchises have been neglected over the years (where’s the Clu Clu Land love, Ninty?), few have suffered like the poor, starved F-Zero fans, who have had to rely on Super Smash Bros.’ continued celebration of Captain Falcon as their only source of acknowledgement for over a decade….
