A trademark doesn't necessarily mean confirmation of a project, but I can easily see Nintendo following through on this pair they filed this month. Japanese Nintendo uncovered two trademarks: "Mario vs. Donkey Kong" and "Spirit Tracks," whi...

Here's hoping a certain prince rolls into Tokyo Game Show later this month. Watchful Katamari Damacy fans noticed two recently-filed trademarks for Bandai Namco's roll-'em-up series. The first, Katamari Damacy Reroll, was registered in Euro...

I'll seize any halfway relevant opportunity to gush about Endless Ocean for a bit, so here goes. The Arika-developed, Nintendo-published series of underwater exploration games was a real highlight of the Wii era for me. I enjoy learning abo...

Few if any of us were surprised to see Nintendo follow up the NES Classic Edition with a miniature Super Nintendo, but how far up the console cycle will the company go, and how quickly? As much as I'd rather not even think about what comes ...

Last week the Overwatch League finally started to take shape. They announced their first seven teams, some of them even owned by traditional sports team owners, so it's clear people with the capital are willing to back this venture. Blizzar...

Super Mario Maker proved that developers don't need to ship a traditional game to have players fawning over the experience. If the nostalgia's right -- and this part's very important -- giving people the toolset to make their own exper...

Eternal Darkness will go down in history as one of the greatest GameCube games to grace the system, but any hope of a follow-up has been complicated by the fact that its developer, Silicon Knights, is in complete disarray. So while we ...
