Nintendo surprised fans on Wednesday with news that they are remaking The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the Switch. Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was originally released on the Game Boy handheld in 1993. Last year marked its 25th anniversary. The remake is planned for a release in 2019. We have the trailer from…
Nintendo revealed that Super Mario Maker is coming to the Nintendo Switch in June during today’s Nintendo Direct. Super Mario Maker came out on the Wii U in 2015 and the Nintendo 3DS in 2016. Fans have wanted the Wii U version ported to the Switch, but Nintendo is releasing a sequel instead with new tools to…
Psyonix announced today that Rocket League will have an update released on February 19 that adds the ability to have cross-play friends lists. Cross-platform play between PC, Switch, and Xbox One has been a feature since April 2018. Cross-play support was added for PS4 last month, but the support only extended to matchmaking. Now, you…
Nintendo announced today that the company is dropping a new Nintendo Direct tomorrow. Nintendo says that the video presentation, which will feature Switch games, will be around 35 minutes long. It will broadcast at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. This will be the first Nintendo Direct of 2019. We don’t know what all will be featured…
I never really played any “mining games” quite like Image & Form’s SteamWorld Dig before I decided to download the eShop title, but a few rosy critiques and comparisons to the Metroid series convinced me to take the plunge. I quickly found out that SteamWorld Dig is one of the eShop’s brightest gems and best downloadable platformers on the market.
After twelve years in business, the Wii Shop Channel closed its digital doors for good today. Last year, Nintendo stopped allowing users to purchase Wii Points for digital products. Yesterday was the last day to redeem any remaining Wii Points toward purchases. While users can still re-download WiiWare and Virtual Console titles, as well as…
Doom (2016) is the first full-fledged Doom game since Doom 3 came out on PC and Xbox way back in 2004. That’s a twelve-year gap with only an expansion pack, a visually-upgraded re-release of Doom 3, and a mobile game. And as it turns out, Doom (2016) – hereafter referred to as “Doom” – is…
The hit free-to-play cooperative online action game Warframe is coming to Nintendo Switch. Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes unveiled the game at TennoCon 2018, its third annual Warframe convention. The game is being developed by Panic Button, who is responsible for the Switch ports of Doom, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, and Rocket League. Check…

There are not a whole lot of games that can credibly claim to be novel ideas. Of course, novelty alone does not guarantee that the concept is a good one. That is why I was pleasantly surprised when I first booted up Team 17’s newest game, Yoku’s Island Express. Team 17 is most closely associated…
We don’t know a lot about Nintendo’s upcoming Pokemon RPG for the Switch, but we do know that it’s coming in 2019 and is part of the “core” series. In other words, expect something more along the lines of X and Y rather than some of the Pokemon spin-offs. Unfortunately, that’s really all we know…
