By most accounts, Bayonetta 2 was one of the best games on the Wii U. Unfortunately, that console’s low install base meant the game didn’t have nearly as much reach as it deserves. It makes sense, then, that Nintendo would choose to re-release Bayonetta 2 (along with the first game) …

As much talk as there is about 2016 being terrible, it was a fantastic year for games. There was an abundance of fantastic releases, and plenty of good surprises – against all odds, Watch Dogs 2 turned out to be good, and Final Fantasy XV actually came out and was better than anyone could …
Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure feels old. Well, it is old – this is a 3DS port of a game that first came out in 2004 – but it feels even older. I don’t mean it feels dated, because it certainly doesn’t, but that it has the look, feel, and …
Later this year, Nintendo will release the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System, a “mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console.” This mini NES is a little microconsole loaded up with 30 NES classics, dressed up like a Nintendo Entertainment System. I guess it’s a neat idea as a way of …
Pokemon Go is now available, and aside from the sorts of server issues that are nigh-unavoidable for the launch of a hyped-up network-dependant game like this, it’s fantastic. My expectations were high, but they’ve been met—exceeded, even. It’s admittedly bare-bones right now in terms of feature set, but the core …

What would an E3 be without some sort of gender representation – related controversy? This year, Nintendo have kindly stepped up to deliver on this front, with Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma confirming that, no, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will not have the female hero that many were hoping for. …
[URIS id=507] Gallery: Toon Link Nendoroid Back in August last year, Good Smile Company released the Toon Link Nendoroid (or, more specifically, Link: The Wind Waker ver.). As typical of the Nendoroid line, these were made-to-order, with pre-sales being taken months in advance, and sadly, I missed out. But then, …
Update 28 April 2017: Even almost two years since posting it, this article still seems to get a lot of traffic. Since then, the English version of Fire Emblem Fates has come out, and it improves on some stuff, but also falls flat in other ways. I just want to clarify that all …
Yesterday, Nintendo and Atlus shared the first proper trailer for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem since they teaser they showed off more than two years ago. It looks amazing. Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei are both relatively serious, dark franchises, but from the new trailer, the crossover game looks …
