I've said this before, but the "Steamed Hams" sketch was always one of my wife and I's favorite Simpsons moments before the memes began. The deadpan like "yeeeees," is a big go-to for us, as are many great lines like "an unforgettable lunch...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had a hell of a run so far. While everyone struggled to blow through everything in one of the most expansive fighting game packages ever released, Piranha Plant crept onto the scene a full month and change lat...

While the amiibo train has mostly been a smooth ride these past few years, there are always exceptions: like this week, for instance. The next wave (due on July 26) for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now on sale, but there's a snag. A v...

All eyes are on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this week now that the reinvigorating 3.0 update has gone live. Between Joker's grand debut, fantastic Persona music, a suite of balance changes, and the Stage Builder, there's a lot for fans to po...

Nintendo just blew Smash fans away with an out of nowhere version 3.0.0 announcement for Ultimate. This update is multifaceted, mostly because it's a mix of premium (Persona 5's Joker) and free content that's pretty much all golden. You can...

Castlevania is making a comeback. Well, kind of, right? A kinda-comeback? Konami is pumping out re-releases and anniversary collections in an attempt to prop up the series again, and Bloodstained was created in response to people's love for...

As I said just recently, Nintendo loves doling out those super late night (for westerners) announcements. They dropped a surprise Joker DLC trailer for Smash Ultimate last night that stole all of the thunder away from lesser reveals li...

Joker is set to arrive in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate later today and make the game a bit more ultimate. But given how rapid-fire the debut trailer was (and that it launched in the dead of night in some regions), we figured it would be ...

Nintendo truly is the king of surprise announcing things. From out of nowhere, Nintendo's YouTube channel uploaded a video with an overview of the upcoming DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is the first footage of Joker from Persona 5 and ...

Nintendo just released a new thirty-second ad for Smash Bros. Ultimate and it's one for the books. On the surface, it looks like it was designed to sell lanky pre-teens on a special brand of self-esteem that only comes from trouncing ...

[Update: A higher-res version of the Joker image has surfaced on Nintendo's Smash Ultimate website.] It's still weird to me to see Persona's Joker, with his slicing tool in hand, ready to rip apart wholesome characters like Pikachu in Supe...

I've been following Evo for a while now and have personally reviewed nearly every game announced for the main stage this year: 2019 is a huge shift for myriad reasons. It's not just the fact that Melee is missing: there's a lot to unpa...

Evo 2019 is moving forward without one of its longtime most popular games. The Las Vegas-based fighting game tournament finalized its lineup today, and there's one very notable omission. After a six-year run as one of Evo's main draws, 2001...

The Ice Climbers. Loveable, mallet-swinging duo well known for their infuriating shenanigans in the Super Smash Bros. series. Masters of controversial tactic "Wobbling", the cutesy pals have found themselves on the receiving end of a lot of...

One of the best parts of booting up a new fighter in Super Smash Bros. is plopping them into the Kid Icarus level with Pit and hearing the (typically) hilarious fourth-wall-breaking Palutena rant. In case you haven't tried this (now st...

I feel like we only just got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's big Version 2.0 update and our devious new potted friend, but Nintendo is already toiling away on what's next. As teased in today's Nintendo Direct, Version 3.0 is scheduled for "thi...

Dante, like Bayonetta, is a character a lot of people want to see in just about any action crossover. He has such a huge arsenal of moves at this point that a team would have to even pare him down, allowing for all sorts of technical c...

Super Smash Bros. has always been prone to those perfect photo moments. I can't tell you how many times all of the different Smash groups I've been a part of over the past two decades or so have paused the game only to laugh at a freez...

Piranha Plant sprouted up in Smash Ultimate a few days ago, but it was only available for people that grabbed the game early. If you happened to miss the redemption period for your free bonus fighter, you can now purchase the Snapdragon fro...

Sometimes Smash leaks are wild. Like when someone tells you The Grinch is going to be included in the roster or your friend tells you that his uncle who works at Nintendo said that Geno is definitely going to make it in at launch. In o...

Nintendo has updated its sales figures for Switch software and things are really looking up. Since its March 2017 launch, the publisher has now pushed five 10 million plus selling games. That list includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (15....

Revealed by way of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest patch, the new Spirit Event is...Mega Man themed! A lot of the spirits are Mega Man incarnations, rivals and Robot Masters you've seen before (like Mega Man Volnutt or Bass) b...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's post-launch legacy is well underway. In addition to the revelation that Persona 5's Joker is heading into the ring, Nintendo just released another highly anticipated oddball of a roster addition that was announc...

Nintendo surprise released Piranha Plant for Smash Ultimate tonight and I'm just now finding out! Kingdom Hearts III sucked me away for quite a bit, so I'm late to the party. What I'd hate to happen, though, is for my save data to get corru...

Think of this as a public service announcement. So Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Piranha Plant fighter is set to debut in February. The thing is, it's tied directly to a promotion and not linked to the Fighter's (Season) Pass. So if you want...
