Fast & Fusionous. One of the Switch 2 titles that we are most looking forward to is Fast Fusion, the latest high-octane racer from Shin’en Multimedia that will be speeding onto the new hardware on launch day. Like the previous entries in the ‘Fast’ series, this one already boasted more than a few F-Zero stylings, […]
A Dream(cast) collection. We love Capcom Fighting Collection 2! There, that’s the review done. Seriously though, this is a particularly strong lineup of actual arcade Bangers (yes, with a capital B), that doesn’t have anything approaching a full-on weak spot across a stellar roster of classic titles, so it’s not really a surprise, is it?

Well, thanks to a new breakdown by Digital Foundry, we can now finally dive into the specifics. First, let’s […]
But what about my backlog? Super Mario 64 is one of those classic sorts of games that, almost 30 since its release, is still giving up delightful little secrets.

A fantasy score? Level-5’s long-awaited new Fantasy Life game, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, is just over a week away, and the first review for the upcoming game has just dropped. Japanese publication Famitsu has scored the “slow-life RPG” an impressive 9/9/9/9, totalling 36/40, and according to the reviewers, it will take […]
Name a better duo. On today’s edition of ‘Collaborations We Didn’t Expect,’ Square Enix has announced that it is teaming up with the Japanese TV network TBS Television to develop a brand-new game IP (thanks, Gematsu). TBS Television, not the one that our friends in the US will likely be familiar with, is a Tokyo-based […]
The spy who nabbed me. A dubious game currently available on the PlayStation Store for $14.99 appears to have lifted the Dam level from GoldenEye 007 almost in its entirety. As reported over at Recollect64, ‘iOrder SRL’ has been wholesale borrowing entire level layouts and assets from the Nintendo 64’s finest hour (fight me). Read […]
With a focus on quality over quantity. Square Enix has released its financial results for FY2025, detailing a rather middling performance for the company with a distinct lack of major releases.
