With the recent announcement that Ōkami 2 will finally see the light of day, it seems that series creator Hideki Kamiya is now able to more freely talk about the origins of everyone’s favorite sun goddess. In a post on Twitter, Kamiya divulged some new information regarding where the concept…
I consider myself to be a pretty big fighting game fan. I’ve been actively following the genre since I first played Tekken on PlayStation as a child. Since 2017, however, my console of choice has been the Nintendo Switch and, as a fighting gamer, things haven’t been too hot. While…

Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet).

Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
The nostalgia for Sonic is strong, it would seem. According to Sega, the recently released Sonic x Shadows Generations has sold one million units on launch day. While there isn’t a platform breakdown for which version did the best, the sentiment is clear: people really love the Blue Blur and…
