This past weekend, Sega held a closed network test for their upcoming kart racer Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on PlayStation 5. To say that I had fun would be an understatement. For the three days that the beta was online, my living room sounded like an arcade — character one-liners being…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…

Mario Kart 8 was one of the few games (along with Splatoon) where I genuinely love the motion controls. Now it looks like Nintendo’s following through with another new way to play, and it’s with the customizable craftwork of Labo. Using the Toycon Motorbike build from the Labo Variety Kit…

I’ve never quite clicked with Pokémon GO. I see the appeal and I enjoyed beta testing way back when, but when it initially released I was living in Japan with a dataless phone plan. I made my best of the situation and tried to catch Pokémon in open areas with…
You all know I can’t say no to some extra cute Kirby art, though today it’s a little more conceptual. A while back the official Japanese Kirby Twitter shared a look at how the designs of two of the newest copy abilities came to be. Have a look at Artist…
The reveal of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate brought with it great joy and celebration, as every fighter in the illustrious series will be making their return. From those long-forgotten like Pichu to the highly requested like Wolf, one of the most adamantly fought for was Konami’s own Solid Snake, the…
Splatoon 2 is an online juggernaut for Nintendo, so fans might wonder how it’ll be affected by the company’s new online service. Luckily, the squid (and octopus) shooter will still get support after the online barrier goes up later this year. It’s true that fewer players might be on the…

Since then, developer Fabraz has been dipping its toes in the publishing sphere, starting with Eeendhoorn’s aptly titled fantasy sports…
Even though practically every RPG out there promises an epic journey of exploration and discovery, very few of them accurately capture that feeling of uncovering a whole new world. With Ys VIII, however, developer Falcom has aimed to put that experience at the core of the game, and it’s pretty…
The quirky 2D action-RPG Cat Quest is getting a physical edition for Switch, publisher PQube has announced. This comes a few months after the game’s November 2017 digital launch, and brings it up to speed with the PlayStation 4 version, which already had a physical release. Check out the Switch…
Despite launching just a few days ago, Mario Tennis Aces has already rocketed to the number one spot in the UK sales chart, according to GFK’s Chart-Track.co.uk. The latest entry in the long-running series by developer Camelot has beat out the likes of FIFA 18, God of War and Mario…
I’m no sore loser by any stretch, really and truly. But sometimes Splatfest results just do not sit well with me. Sure, I could stomach more people liking ice cream more than cake (after all, that’s more cake for me), but this weekend’s Splatfest results are just. Not. Correct. …
