Nintendo has done it again. They announced a piece of hardware that broke the internet -- a follow-up for the NES Mini -- the SNES Mini. But this time a lot of prospective buyers are a little more fanatical about the whole affair thanks to ...   read

For about a year now modders have been furiously writing scripts and programs that augment themselves to Pokemon Go and add features the developers haven't implemented or have taken out -- like actual creature tracking and the like. Niantic...   read

Ah My Nintendo. The service I like to keep people abreast of even if everyone hates it. Well, some people like it which is why so many folks like to check up on these articles -- but maybe that's just because inquiring minds are hoping...   read

I think this is starting to become a trend. A lot of really cool looking indie games kind of come and go, but as soon as they're announced for the Switch, everyone turns their gaze. That happened for me this week when it comes to The Count ...   read

Glixel had a chance to sit down with the development team for Splatoon 2 and clear up a few eSports related topics. For one, the game will be getting a brand new competitive mode called "League Battle," which focuses on groups of two or fou...   read

Mari Shirakawa, NPC and field-event designer for Zelda: Breath of the Wild, shared her terrifying thoughts on Tingle, and I think we can all relate. As part of the launch festivities for the upcoming Breath of the Wild DLC Nintend...   read

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been making waves across the streaming community for the past few months, and that's translated into actual sales -- over four million copies in sales actually. So what's next? New and altered items, extra ...   read

The Necromancer has risen again. Again and again (like that NSFW Wu-Tang joint), actually, as it was featured in Diablo III as an Act 1 mini-boss and a fully fledged character in Heroes of the Storm. The class is immensely popular, and...   read

Gladiolus got his due with his own Final Fantasy XV DLC a few months back, and we all kind of stumbled through it. Coasting by on the fumes of XV's core mechanics, the idea of witnessing a brief gaiden that ultimately ended up lac...   read

You gotta love the PC platform. While studios are bending over backward trying to get their patches approved on consoles they can generally just roll out anything they want on PC, and developer Playtonic did just that with their huge "Spit ...   read

The multiplayer tinted Pac-Man Vs. is one of the most interesting games in the franchise's long history. It was actually developed by Nintendo EAD and headed up by Miyamoto himself, which is why you rarely see it hit other platforms (it's o...   read

I'm pretty floored that people are talking about an Arc System Works game. Guilty Gear Xrd has been showcasing its impressive engine for several years now, but its esoteric rock and roll nature has turned some people away from it -- en...   read

Forging co-op groups against a common foe, fighting, earning rewards, and getting a chance to capture your quarry in Pokemon Go is a blast. I'm talking of course about raids, a new mechanic that was introduced several weeks ago, and is...   read

It's always strange to see a successful series come and go. It happens in every medium -- a bright new talent swoops in, drops a masterpiece, then the IP holder struggles to monetize it. Sometimes individual works of art were meant to stand...   read

In case you haven't heard, Dragon Ball Super is the new hotness that started airing in 2015. It continues after the Majin Buu arc and brings Goku and the gang into a whole new era of Super Saiyan levels, including God, Berserker, and R...   read

There's a ton of reasons why Nintendo collectibles sell so well for the company. Nostalgia. Rarity. Short windows. The fact that they play so well with kids and adults alike. The sheer power of the character factory that is Nintendo, who is...   read

E3 is over, and now it's time for a relatively quiet July. I mean there's a few big games coming out like the Final Fantasy XII remake, and uh...wait. Splatoon 2! How could I forget. Nintendo is gearing up for one of their most massive...   read

Game sizes are insane now. Remember when "40GB games" wasn't commonplace? Well now nearly every AAA game is 40GB, and that's before patches -- many titles end up clocking in at around 100GB after patches and DLC (Halo 4 comes to m...   read

Final Fantasy XV's Adam West Batman-era ass vehicle is getting a mechanical makeover today, as Square Enix has added in the ability to go off-roading with it. I hope you have 8.6 GB to spare on PS4 (on Xbox it's almost 11GB)! As for the upg...   read

The Game Boy Advance SP is a masterpiece of a system. While the Game Gear had the backlight years before it, this was the first time I was able to play a Game Boy without attaching a gross worm light accessory to it, and man, did the G...   read

Uncovering old Mega Man trivia is one of my favorite pastimes. There was once an era where Capcom was immensely proud of the series, showing it off at every turn at tradeshows and myriad magazine spreads. I'll never forget sending in m...   read

My biggest complaint about Arms was a lack of things to do, and Nintendo seems to be rectifying that, albeit slightly, with its first patch. Update 1.1.0 adds in LAN play on top of "arena" mode, which is basically like a spectator-enabled g...   read

Clueless Gamer is one of those segments that I'm happy is still around -- especially given how quickly some late night hosts abandon bits or run them into the ground. People accuse Conan of "hating games," but that's his entire shtick, and ...   read

Speedrunning is one of my favorite things to watch. Sometimes presented with our without commentary, I just love watching people tackle a game and using strategies from the community while adding their own spins to it. It helps me become a ...   read

[Update: And they're gone! A surprise drop, Prime Only, and sold out in roughly an hour. Not a great time to be an amiibo collector. It hasn't been this bad since Wave 4 in 2015.] It's amiibo hunting day!Three new Zelda figures are out...   read
