Image & Form announced SteamWorld Dig 2 as a Nintendo Switch title, but that's not the only place you'll be able to play the mining platform adventure this year. It's headed to PS4 and Steam, too. "We plan to have SWD2 out on all within...   read

These quizzes contain fewer words than your average video game review, but they are just as hard to write, if not harder, and this one is not exception. I spent hours trying to generate an algorithm that would guide readers to the questions...   read

It seems like just yesterday that de Blob got a release on PC (after nearly a decade of being a Wii exclusive). Publisher THQ Nordic worked their magic to make sure the game didn't stay obscure and they have done so for the game's sequel, d...   read

One of my favorite parts about the Super Smash Bros. series is the build-up to the next game and all the wacky screenshots Nintendo cooks up along the way. Poring over every last image brings me to my youth, back when I'd do the exact same ...   read

Nintendo Switch owners have a reason to revisit Snake Pass this week. A new update introduces time trials and online leaderboards, bringing that version of the game in line with the rest. Sumo Digital also has a number of platform-wide fixe...   read

Super Mario Odyssey is weird. It took all of 30 seconds before we switched out of Mario's traditional garb and into a pinstripe suit and fedora. Many times, we threw Mario's hat at a Bullet Bill and then turned into that Bullet Bill. W...   read

Similar to how Super Mario Galaxy handled multiplayer, Super Mario Odyssey will feature a co-op mode that lets player two take control of Cappy, Mario's now sentient hat. When active, Cappy will float around the environment separate of Mari...   read

The Mighty No. 9 "franchise," which already had a live action series, toys, and a heap of other cross-media projects planned, is on life support. The tepid response from both fans and critics alike have given birth to more memes than p...   read

After nearly a year since its release, and close to four years since its Kickstarter campaign, Inafune and his crew might actually be delivering on their full promises from the Mighty No. 9 project. Late last night backers received an email...   read

Housemarque (Super Stardust, Resogun) is continuing its trend of throwing as many colorful projectiles as possible at players with a new shooter, Matterfall. The 2D action platformer pits you as a Crysis-cosplayer in a futuristic robo-scif...   read

Knack 2 feels like a fever dream. I missed the initial reports and I missed the Knack 2 announcement. I did notice it become something of a meme online. "Knack 2" people yelled, excitedly, a self-contained joke that might have already morph...   read

[Update: The lead developer of AM2R has responded to the announcement.] Nintendo wasn't kidding when it said it had more "surprises" after their big Spotlight presentation. In addition to three new amiibo, they also showed off Metroid:...   read

These gorgeous "wedding themed" amiibo are going to arrive around the same time as Super Mario Odyssey, which now has an October release date. Revealed by way of the Treehouse stream after their E3 Spotlight, the game's producer stated...   read

Yoshi isn't made of yarn like in Woolly World for his next appearance, but the areas still have that diorama look, as if they were built out of found materials. It looks like the next Yoshi game will feature two-player cooperative play...   read

Nintendo announced a new Kirby game at their E3 showcase, simply titled "Kirby." Quite a surprise after so many fancy spin-offs and subtitles. Overall not much was shown beyond what looks like you're typical Kirby including Whisp...   read

I would call Super Lucky's Tale a pleasant surprise -- and for some, especially those who missed the original game on Oculus Rift, it will be -- but I came in expecting a charming, well-polished 3D platformer with a cute little protagonist....   read

Ori and the Blind Forest was such a treat and, to date, it remains one of my favorite Xbox One games as a beautiful, challenging, and at times emotional metroidvania title. (It's not too late to play it there or on PC. Go go go!). Just hear...   read

For those of us who liked the look of Lucky's Tale but didn't get around to it on account of the whole you-need-an-Oculus-Rift thing, good news! The follow-up, Super Lucky's Tale, is coming November 7 for Xbox One and Windows 10, as reveale...   read

Cyberpunk cinematic platformer The Last Night made an appearance at Microsoft's E3 presser and still looks absolutely jaw-dropping.  Aside from the trailer, it comes with the additional news that it will be a console exclusive to Xbox...   read

Let's do a quick recap on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's development process. Back in 2015, former Konami developer Koji Igarashi managed to scrape up $5.5 million in funding, Inafune style, with a "stick it to the man" Kickstarter cam...   read

Super Meat Boy Forever was unveiled in 2014, but we're getting closer to a release. A release that may involve the Switch actually, as developer Team Meat has hinted multiple times that they're all in on the system, and that when they annou...   read

The Mummy Demastered isn't something I'd be remotely interested in -- unless we were talking Brendan Fraser's Mummy, or a cool developer was on-board. One of these things is true. Shantae studio WayForward is developing the game for Nintend...   read

Sega has revealed that Chemical Plant Zone, the classic zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the best Sonic zone ever, will be in Sonic Mania.   read

It's been an especially weird day on Twitter, and Bubsy -- Bubsy, of all things! -- has played a part. The anthropomorphic bobcat returns this year with a new PC and PlayStation 4 platformer, Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, in development a...   read
