News Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Bringing the Horror to Switch on 28th November
Not quite in time for Halloween
Earlier this year it was confirmed that both Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 were coming to the Nintendo Switch. The former was originally on 3DS and then Wii U, but Nintendo gamers missed out on what was - at that point - the episodic sequel on PS4 / Xbox One / PC / ev

News Celebrate The 30th Anniversary Of Street Fighter With This Pricey SNES Cart
Yoga fire warning
Ah, nostalgia. While we can totally get behind retro delights such as the upcoming SNES Classic Edition and being able to challenge friends on the train with Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on the Switch, there has to come a point where you just roll your eyes. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Street...
News Dataminers Have Found 3DS Code in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
What’s this, Capcom?
No doubt many Nintendo fans were greatly disappointed by the puzzling omission of anything Nintendo with the recently released Mega Man Legacy Collection 2. Considering that some of the games included originally came out for Nintendo platforms and that the first Mega Man Legacy Collection came out on 3DS, it seems logical that...
Video See the Big Difference Between Monster Hunter XX on Switch and 3DS
Well, obviously...
Occasionally our memory plays tricks on us - we may think back to old games and picture lovely, crisp visuals, but then we play them for real and, well, the results don't match our memories. That could conceivably be the case with Monster Hunter XX. The Switch version demo is now out in Japan (instructions to access it here)...

The Monster Hunter XX demo is out in Japan, and while we bemoan the lack of localisation we can, of course, all give it a whirl.

It could certainly be something fun to do as the weekend...

News Upcoming Monster Hunter XX Demo Will Give All Switch Owners a Taste of Japanese Release
No hint yet of localisation, however
Capcom recently made noises about increased support for the Nintendo Switch, and has backed that up by including the system in the recent announcement of re-releases of Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2.

News Ultra Street Fighter II Was A "Smash Hit" On Switch, Says Capcom
But it won't divulge actual sales figures
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers was Capcom's first major release for the Switch, but it came as something of a disappointment. Recycled content and a laughably poor first-person mode made it an unconvincing debut, despite the presence of that tried-and-tested Street Fighter magic. While the...

News 20th Century Fox’s Mega Man Movie Creeps Closer to Production
Directors are in final talks
With perhaps a few exceptions that have been so-so, movies based on video game properties have almost consistently been terrible adaptations. Perhaps this is due to how an interactive medium doesn’t translate to smoothly to one which is strictly visual, but even more plot-driven franchises like Assassin’s Creed have...
News Fan-Made "Mega Maker" is Releasing Next Week
DIY Mega Man
“Super Mario Maker's” popularity proved something most people in the ROM hacking community already knew for years: there is a game designer hidden in all of us. Yet most of us do not have the technical expertise to look up code and understand how it works. Level editors are nothing new, of course, going as far back as some games...

Company moves to clarify after report of 'no plans' to localise XX

Random Yoshinoro Ono Recreates Iconic Moves from Ultra Street Fighter II
Well, sort of...
A lot of video games are silly, when you really think about it, but that's part of what makes them a lot of fun. When people try to recreate what characters do in games, of course, the absurdity becomes clear. The rather cool Street Fighter series producer, Yoshinoro Ono, demonstrates this nicely in an enjoyable...
