In a recent video, Super Smash Bros. series creator Masahiro Sakurai took some time to talk about his feelings regarding the series in online play. As longtime fans of the series might have expected, it turns out that he’s not really a fan of supporting online features for Nintendo’s popular character fighter. It’s something that…

Thunderful Publishing and developer Carry Castle have announced that their lovecraftian roguelite, Source of Madness, will be getting a physical release on the Switch. The physical release is coming on January 5th and is being handled by Super Rare Games. It seems that they’ll only be making 4,000 copies though: 2,000 standard and 2,000 SteelBook;…
New Screenshots, Art Shown for Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Nintendo showed-off quite a few interesting things during last week’s Nintendo Direct. There was video for Splatoon 3, revivals of old cult classics like Klonoa and Front Mission, and even new footage for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. This game in particular was already interesting, and it only got moreso with the new video and…
Ocarina of Time Gets a Bit Better with Switch Online Update
Last week, Nintendo updated Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in order to bring Banjo-Kazooie to the service. As data miners soon discovered though, this wasn’t the only change the update made to the service. It turns out that Nintendo made some subtle changes to Ocarina of Time, improving its emulation and bringing it closer…
Nintendo Shows New Screenshots and Art for Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Not too long ago, Nintendo surprised just about everyone with the announcement of a new Kirby game: Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It’s been a while since Kirby got his last console outing, but the real surprise is that the game appears to be set in a open, post-apocalyptic version of our own world. Well,…
2021’s Most Played Switch Game Was…Fortnite. Wow.
As is typical of the New Year’s season, there’s really not all that much to talk about in terms of gaming news. I mean sure, Square Enix really stepped in it with that NFT nonsense, but I don’t really want to talk about NFts at them moment (who does? they’re so stupid!) So, how about…
[Revisited] It Finally Happened. I’m Now A Huge Fan of the Nintendo Switch
As the year winds down and we all settle-in for our New Year’s festivities, I find myself looking back a bit. Now that I’ve gotten onboard the current generation with an Xbox Series S, I can’t help but ponder a bit on how the last one started. In particular, I find myself thinking about the…
Mario Party Superstars is an Awesome Trip Down Nostalgia Lane
Last Friday, I picked up Mario Party Superstars and dove into it pretty heartily. See, I used to play the Mario Party games with my friends on a fairly regular basis before I moved, so I’ve been missing it terribly for the past couple of years. With Mario Party Superstars, I thought I’d finally get…
There’s a Big Sale Happening on the Switch Right Now!
If there’s anything to be learned with all the shenanigans surrounds new releases over the past few years, it’s that you’re almost always better-off waiting for the sale. Because, unless it’s a first-party Nintendo game, all games go on sale sooner or later, and they’ll almost certainly be in a much more playable state. One…
Dying Light Reanimates Once More for Nintendo Switch
Much like the shambling corpses it’s named for, the zombie survival genre is still shuffling around despite being considered “dead” since at least 2011. New games still get made, and older “classics” keep getting resurrected in the hopes of squeezing just a little bit more juice out of one of gaming’s oldest (and most overused)…
