Blaster Master Zero arrived back in 2017 and fans have been wondering what was in store for the series ever since. Welp that question has been answered today, as Inti Creates has announced that Blaster Master Zero 2 is out...now. As I said ...

In what started off as a very odd dystopian-like trailer, Nintendo eventually revealed during their spring Nindie Showcase today that Cuphead would be arriving on the platform. Yep, the once Xbox One exclusive 2017 boss gauntlet romp i...

After nearly a decade of high-flying bike antics, I haven't grown tired of Trials. I doubt I ever will. The series' nuanced platforming has proven to be eternally satisfying, and RedLynx hasn't let up on the creative, unconventional course ...

I'm not completely sold on Mechstermination Force yet, but in Bertil Horberg I trust. Horberg's previous work on the Gunman Clive series has me interested, especially after the reveal that Clive himself will be a playable characte...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has had a long development cycle: at least, longer than most people expected. Originally, the 2015-launched Kickstarter was set for a March 2017 release, but things changed and several delays came into the ...

For years I waited for a Mega Man revival, and Capcom delivered with Mega Man 11. It wasn't just nominal, either: I really enjoyed 11 and thought that it served as a great jumping off point for newcomers while simultaneously prese...

Gothic adventure Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which has long been in development, has received a rating from the Entertainment Software Review Board, so it's gotten one step closer to release, even though the crowdfunded title is yet ...

Microsoft's rules around achievements have been mostly steadfast over the past two generations of consoles. Every game launches with 1,000 Gamerscore, with a few exceptions made along the way for day-one DLC situations. Crackdown 3 mig...

A Hat in Time, a charming puzzle platformer currently on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, has had a wild ride as far as Switch confirmation is concerned. Back in 2018 the developers, Gears for Breakfast, denied the existence of a Switch port, or that ...

It took me a long, long while to warm up to the "New" Mario series. I thought the DS debut was rather stale and devoid of life, but over time it started to prove its mettle. The Wii version was a slight improvement, but it really wasn'...

Weirdly, Nintendo has been coy about Blue Toad (who was replaced by Toadette) in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Switch for months. Now thanks to its global launch, we know that he's still actually in the game, albeit a bit hidden. A...

Oh what could have been. Following in the footsteps of DuckTales Remastered, Simon Thomley over at Headcannon decided to pitch Capcom a Darkwing Duck game. While the video game arm of the series has been dormant for some time Capc...

Come January 18, Guacamelee 2 will have conquered every platform it could reasonably grapple with. It launched on PS4 and PC in August before swinging over to Switch in December. Now, it's coming to Microsoft's ecosystem. Drinkbox Stu...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's dead platforms keep piling up. A few years ago, the Wii U version was canceled in favor of flipping over to Switch -- a perfectly justifiable move. Earlier in 2018, the Vita port was scrapped altogether. ...

Have you surmounted every challenge in Celeste? If so, you better rest up. More's on the way. We originally gave Celeste a 10 out of 10 and just recently named it the best Nintendo Switch game of 2018. It's been an eventful year for creator...

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, also known as the game that spawned Bowsette, is still slated for an early 2019 release on Switch on January 11. As a reminder the touched-up port of the 2012 game will come with the New Super Luigi U expansi...

Because we're days away from everyone Logging Off for Christmas and New Years, some companies are making their January announcements a bit ahead of schedule. That's what's happening here with Xbox's Games with Gold for January, and Xbox Li...

For a limited time, Humble is giving out free copies of LEGO The Lord of the Rings for PC. The LEGO games have been streamlined over the past several years, making it tough to go back to some of the earlier movie adaptations, but this shoul...

If you're looking for another indie developer to follow on Twitter, Bertil Hörberg is a good choice. He's always been fairly open and honest about how the whole process works, noting disappointments along the way. The most recent revel...

When my positive review of Mega Man 11 dropped, there were sighs of relief, gasps of disbelief, and memes. The most prevalent in the latter category was definitely the fixation on Mega Man's new boss door animation. You see, in the pas...

Human: Fall Flat is the kind of game I can return to year after year and still adore. Its physical comedy just cracks me up. The co-op puzzle platformer has gotten a free new level, "Dark," which is reason enough for me to dive back in. It'...

Bertil Hörberg's Gunman Clive series is one of the low key best platformers on the 3DS and Wii U. After originally debuting on mobile platforms, the western-themed platformer made its way over to Nintendo's portable and even ...

Kirby Star Allies has brought my house a lot of joy these past nine months or so, and even though HAL Laboratory has announced the end of any further updates, I'll continue to play it for years to come. At launch I really enjoyed Star Allie...

I really dug Rain World at launch though some people decidedly did not. Videocult has since been trying to make this gorgeous looking game more enticing, and after a series of updates they're still working on the game a year and a half...

Welp, like Michael Jackson's final tour, this is it.  HAL Laboratory, the developer of the Kirby series and creator of Kirby Star Allies, has announced that after this wave of free DLC characters, no more are on the way. As a...
