E3 came and went, and in the grand scheme of things I wouldn't say it was a smash hit. We saw a few bangers for sure but many of the actual conferences were too safe with very little in the way of surprises or heavy-hitters -- to the point ...

Nintendo’s E3 threw me for a loop. I was hoping for detailed breakdowns on most of the Switch reveals we got last year, but we don’t really know anything new on most of them, nor have we seen many new reveals. And yet, the new...

Dedicating 25 minutes to a single game in an E3 presentation is a sign of confidence. It shows a company is proud of a game, excited even, and it wants to share everything it can with fans, hopefully igniting their excitement as well. For S...

Something is clearly wrong. I'm as excited as the next guy for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, but there's clearly something disturbing going on here. Mario, our usually affable plumber friend, has gone insane. When the box art dropped for t...

In a world of tight online game genres, For Honor appeared to be the breath of fresh air many gamers longed for. Boasting both team-based dynamics and a rich combat system, it was the unlikeliest of hybrids...

It should be no surprise to anyone that the Super Smash Bros. Invitational at E3 was won by ZeRo. He came out of retirement to compete, and with his excellent Mario play, walked away with his second Nintendo Smash championship. From al...

[Art by Jayspring] Todays detailed reveal of Super Smash. Bros. Ultimate was unlike any other in series history. Almost from the start, series creator Masahiro Sakurai made it clear that we shouldn't expect too many new characters in the ga...

[Insert "kept you waiting" joke here] There was this weird period where David Hayter wasn't Snake. Although I thought Kiefer Sutherland did a great job, Hayter had always been Snake, could still pull it off, and was just kind of thrown...

Today during the after-conference "whatever goes" stream, Nintendo broke down the new Inkling fighter that's coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Along with eight different costumes and gender options, the Inkling can use the splattershot ...

After Nintendo's big Direct we moved on to my favorite part of E3 (kind of not joking) -- amiibo reveals. During the post-stream Sakurai and company played some Smash Ultimate, then took a quick break to introduce the Ridley amiibo, which l...

During this morning's Nintendo Direct presentation, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate designer Masahiro Sakurai ran through some of the changes the returning cast will see. The list never ends! Mario: Cappy's here! And Mario can wear his Wedding ...

As expected, most of those rumored lists turned out to be wrong -- for better or worse -- because Nintendo went HAM on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. So much information about what will be the best selling game on Switch this year. New charact...

In Nintendo's massive info dump for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it was revealed that players will be able to KO assist trophies to earn points during battles. Every single assist won't be killable, but you'll finally be able to knock out th...

Some of my friend's favorite pasttimes involve predicting and watching Super Smash Bros. reveals. I mean at this point any character could make it into the roster, and this latest rumor definitely has legs. Born out of Vergeben, who co...

E3 is closer than you think and one of the things I'm most excited to see at this year's event, besides all those sweet new games, is the Splatoon 2 tournament Nintendo announced not too long ago. It is my favorite competitive gam...

Nintendo might shy away from unofficial events a little too often, and in the wrong way, but they sure can kick off officially sanctioned tournaments. Once again Smash and Splatoon will return to E3, but this time it'll be based around Spla...

When asked yet again if Phil Spencer was game for the previously Nintendo adorned duo of Banjo and Kazooie appearing in Super Smash Bros., Microsoft boss Phil Spencer tweeted out a "yep" in solidarity. It might seem like a quick useless twe...

Ha! This was jokingly teased roughly a week ago but just started making the rounds. Following the recent Nintendo Direct where the bombshell of a Super Smash Bros. project on Switch was announced, Funimation tweeted out a little jab, a...

Whenever a new Super Smash Bros. is hinted at, gamers and the games media gets whipped into a frenzy over which characters should be included in the next game. We all have opinions on that and who’d we like to see. For my part, Bandan...
