Fans of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series have had a rough go of things over the years. Between the oversaturation of the brand mixed with diminishing returns and fairly shoddy games, it almost felt as if the franchise was something that could have only existed at the turn of…

When it comes to promoting products, one common strategy that gets employed is the idea of a rewards program. Nintendo has made good use of this concept over the years themselves, and while the Gold Points program has recently been discontinued, the Platinum Points are still holding strong. For those…
Capcom’s DuckTales has always stood as a licensed game done right back on the NES, with enough soundtrack sweetness to fill a money bin. This eventually led to WayForward remastering the game in 2013 for more contemporary platforms, reuniting some of the original voice cast with a team that knows…
Speedrunning is a long, storied tradition in gaming culture, and the concept is constantly evolving to fit new releases. While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild certainly isn’t a new game, there is a new speedrun category within the massive Zelda RPG: “All Dog Treasures” — as it…
Indie platformers on the Nintendo Switch aren’t exactly uncommon. So seeing another one pop by my desk isn’t the most noteworthy thing, but hey, news is news! Let me just write while I take a big sip of water here, as I read off that classic ’90s style collectathon Regina…
Yoshi’s Woolly World was one of the Wii U’s best and most charming games, and that was due in large part to composer Tomoya Tomita’s soundtrack: light, whimsical, and bursting with imaginative joy. And now we have even more of his work to appreciate, as he’s posted 13 unused tracks…
Not all’s Shine Sprites and rainbows in the happy-go-lucky world of Nintendo video games.

The gorgeous pixel-art metroidvania Heart Forth, Alicia has been in the works for quite some time after being backed via Kickstarter in May 2014, and back then a Wii U port was promised. Now, years later, it’s been announced that the game won’t release there as “the Wii U’s eShop’s…
There’s sticking a knife into an already dead corpse, and then there’s desecrating its grave. This piece of news is metaphorically more in line with the latter, as it’s been revealed that Bayonetta 1 and 2 will not be available on the Wii U eShop starting September 19th. This is…
A shovel-ton of new features is headed to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, all of which have been detailed by developer Yacht Club Games during this morning’s Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove presentation. Firstly, players will now be able to change character pronouns to the gender-neutral “they” and “them” in the original…
With all the piled-on Platinum Points from mobile games and other methods, My Nintendo rewards come fairly easily as long as you’re looking out for them. At the top of each month and days surrounding big game releases is always the best time to check for new reward options, and…
Rising from its Dracula-styled coffin baring fangs and a black widow’s peak, the Wii U unfurled its velveteen cape to reveal a firmware update in late June of the year of 2019, over two years after Switch Belmont sent it to sleep in March 2017. “I vake once more!” bellowed…
Ho, noble burrowers! We stand on the cusp of something long-buried, with the long-awaited King of Cards and Showdown expansions in the last stages of their development, according to Yacht Club Games. While we don’t have a date for these (sadly), there’s some great news for anyone who’s somehow missed…
Ubisoft Montreal’s Child of Light was ported to the Switch last year — when it picked up more good press and sales after its initial 2014 release. Shortly before the port’s release, Creative Director Patrick Plourde teased a sequel in a tweet that showed a script in the corner for…
