  • News Cave Story Approved And Set For Release On The European eShop

    Saints be praised

    When it comes to Nintendo Downloads, wherever you live there are certain releases that are much in demand and mysterious in their delay.

  • Review HarmoKnight (3DS eShop)

    Big beat

    When you think Game Freak, you instinctively think Pokémon. It’s hardly surprising; the Japanese studio has been behind the million-selling franchise since day one, and the evergreen popularity of “catching 'em all” has ensured that the firm has little reason — or time — to explore other avenues. Apart from side-projects like...

  • Review Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (Wii U eShop / NES)

    Heavy Hitter

    Boxing is a fascinating sport. Two human beings enter the ring, then skilfully and tactfully beat the tar out of one another using nothing but their own gloved fists.

  • Review Mega Man 3 (3DS eShop / NES)

    Sibling rivalry

    It's fitting that Mega Man 3 introduces our hero's antagonistic, cocksure older brother Proto Man, as the game itself seems to eternally duke it out with its own brother Mega Man 2 for the coveted title of Best in Series. But wherever you may fall on the question, there's no doubt that this third installment in the classic franchise...
