When Nintendo announced Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury last September, there was little information about what the ominous addition to the game’s title would be. The game’s latest trailer, released today, sheds a little bit more light on the situation with some new footage of the game in …
It’s hard to fairly describe a game like Pikmin 3 Deluxe. I said as much when I shared my first impressions, and despite having spent much more time with it since then, I’m still struggling to do it justice. It’s a game that’s not quite like anything else out there, …
Buy Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition from nzgameshop.com (affiliate link) I can’t remember the last time I played a game that so frequently caused me to stop and just admire the scenery as Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. From the art direction and worldbuilding right down to the nitty-gritty of its base …
At a little over six years since its original Wii U release, New Super Mario Bros. U isn’t that old. But to play it fresh in 2019, it feels like a relic from a time long gone—both for better and worse. On some level, this is to be expected. While …

You of assume that by now, everyone with an interest in Ōkami would have played it—after all, it’s been ported to just about every console under the sun since its PS2 debut in 2006. Still, I didn’t play it myself until the PS4 release last year, even though it’s extremely …
Announcements of Switch ports come so thick and fast these days that it’s easy to gloss over them. Here’s one no JRPG fan will want to miss, though: Grandia and Grandia II are headed to Nintendo’s hybrid console in HD remastered form, courtesy of GungHo Online Entertainment. The two games will be bundled together …
Review by Matthew Codd If there’s any character in the Mushroom Kingdom who didn’t deserve his own game, it’s Toad. He’s annoying, and he lacks personality. He tries to help his friends, but of all the extended Mario cast, he seems the least likely to be a leading hero. That …
