I was talking to some colleagues of mine this weekend about what's left in 2017, and many of them didn't have much enthusiasm to share. It dawned on me that many are PC-centric, so outside of Destiny 2 (which is already out on consoles) and...

The recent release of  Nintendo's SNES Classic has plenty of gamers and newcomers reliving the '90s all over again with some great games from the era that defined a generation. I thought it would be appropriate to get deeper into '90s...

Across years of releases, video game consoles have had almost every look under the sun. From the loud, bright-green-on-black of the original Xbox, to the translucent black Sega Saturn which adamantly declares on its disc tray "Thi...

Lootboxes and microtransactions and all sorts of chicanery have been invading video games for the last few years, locking out content that used to be unlockable through in-game achievements. What happened to the days where getting hard mode...

It has been announced on the official Fear Effect twitter that Fear Effect Sedna, the upcoming strategy game set with the grim, seedy universe, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch.The new title, developed by indie outfit Sushee and publis...

I don't know why it took Nintendo so long to make the Nintendo World Championships a semi-regular thing, but I hope today's broadcast is successful enough that it becomes a yearly event. Ever since I saw The Wizard, the 100-minute theatrica...

I'm gonna bet Crystal will arrive sometime in December but, with that said, here's my video review for Pokémon Gold! A game that brings up so many memories for me. A little fun fact about myself: I went to Japan... when I was like ei...

Europe is holding its own Splatfest this weekend about how to properly hang toilet paper, which still has me chuckling. What do we have coming up in North America? Something more appropriate for October. Something worth getting worked up ov...

Remember back in 1994, when WWE's Lex Luger went around America on a bus to build momentum for his upcoming Summerslam match with Yokozuna? Luger went from state-to-state kissing babies, signing autographs, and wearing stars and stripes Zub...

I have a lot of tired Nintendo jokes that are ironically amusing because Nintendo rarely changes their ways, but the whole My Nintendo shtick is pretty cut and dried at this point. There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said, but ...

Why are you here? Ah, of course, it's Friday, and that means news of a returning weapon hitting the arsenal of Nintendo's arena-shooter Splatoon 2.This week it's the turn of the Bamboozler 14 Mk I. A ranged rifle which favours precision of ...

I love it when a game's universe and characters are fleshed out in supplementary content. It's a chance to illustrate a world with vivid color and character, unfolding the vision of a fictional place into something more tangible. This works...

Are you ready for some Alolan edge? Pokemon Sun and Moon had some emotional moments, but the updated Ultra versions seem to be dialing it up a bit. This new trailer claims that "this isn't the Alola you know," in a bid to get...

It's crazy when an indie farming game gets more hype than some major first-party releases, but that's where we're at with Stardew Valley launching on the Switch. No, the multiplayer update isn't coming until 2018, but at least it's here. Ot...

In case you haven't heard of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild channel system, listen up. Basically, you just load up the channel feature on your Switch, and occasionally a "gift" system will pop up for you to peruse and gain knowledge from. If...

Sonic and crew are back as well, perfectly curated into a 16-bit throwback for the Switch! Sonic Mania is one among many nostalgia kicks for the ever so glorious new platform, which is totally rad... but I don’t know, can you not hel...

Much like their official video for the Poke MVP Magikarp, The Pokemon Company has turned the cuteness up to eleven with Ditto. Not only is the song catchy as heck, the video has a clean, storybook style that's absolutely gorgeous.  Yo...

Miiverse was a really cool experiment. I never really used it, but I liked lurking on it. Social media and "following" capabilities were all the rage at the time (and still are), so you can't really fault Nintendo for trying. But like most ...

Pokémon for me personally was a defining piece of media growing up. I can still recall recess at school and seeing groups of kids huddled around Game Boy screens or playing the card game. I even remember the first episode of Pok&eacu...

SNK's cathartic shoot 'em up Metal Slug X is coming to the Nintendo Switch this week as the latest title off of HAMSTER's "ACA Neo Geo Classics" conveyor belt.The 1999 release was an upgrade to Metal Slug 2, which had only been released on ...

I missed out on Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the longest time. As a huge proponent of Mario RPG, I was saddened to hear that Nintendo and Squaresoft wouldn't be partnering up again, and that instead, we'd be getting a new subseries...
