Going to a good cause
Gamers can be hard to please sometimes. We ask for one thing, get it, and then we ask for more. “When are you going to get around to doing another Star Fox game, Nintendo?” or “when’s the next batch of GBA games coming out on the Wii U?” are just some examples of our insatiable appetites. It sometimes seems that even...

News Special Mario Kart 8 Event Racing Towards SXSW on 7th March
Nintendo of America and Pennzoil strike a deal
Has there ever been a series that so perfectly captures the mayhem of racing games like everyone’s favourite plumber and his red shell collection?

News Gargoyle's Quest II and Street Fighter 2010 Could Be Heading to the 3DS Virtual Console
Retro-heads Rejoice!
The Virtual Console has been an incredible asset to Nintendo over the years. Not only has it served as a method of playing yesterday’s games today, but it’s also come in handy when bridging the gap between retail releases.

“We’re definitely fans of Nintendo”
The times they are a-changing. Whereas two decades ago Japanese-only games often remained Japanese-only, nowadays the West is getting best-selling franchises thick and fast.

Not to be confused with EA Games...
It is certainly no secret that some people - be they fans or critics - don’t like the Wii U.

Some would argue that it’s not...
News Space Simulator "Space Pioneer" Shoots for the Stars with Kickstarter
Crowdfunding...the final frontier
Outer space has never ceased to capture the imaginations of mankind.

News Ultra Rare Gold Nintendo World Championship NES Cart Auctioned And Sold For Over $100,000
Going, going, gone!
There are some things money can’t buy. Even if you had cash paid into your bank account every time you blinked, there will always be something out there more valuable than silver and gold. Take Time for instance. Time is something that can be spent but not bought, and once it’s gone it’s gone forever. The present becomes...

News Senran Kagura Burst Pre-Order Bonuses Announced For Europe
Throwing stars, unfortunately, are not included
School can be boring sometimes. Let’s face it, it’s not the greatest thing in the world, but if Japanese Anime and Manga is anything to go off, school is the best place to be. You get to learn how to become a samurai that hunts down evil spirits, or a magician who tracks down spells to undo an...
News Creative Racer, Velocity Stream, Could Be Speeding Towards Wii U
Paving the way forward
One of the best things about video games is their versatility. A game can go in any direction it wants to and can lead to some pretty creative means of storytelling or gameplay down the line.

News Christian First-Person Shooter Super Noah's Ark 3D Is Sailing Back To The SNES
The reissue that nobody asked for
Remember the days when a game became almost impossible to get once it was no longer being printed? NES, SNES and even N64 titles became lost to us and wound up online for ghastly prices, and we just had to live with the fact that we weren't going to play certain games. Thankfully those days are a thing of the past...
News World Record Speed Runner Just Can't Stop Playing Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Playing games to destruction
Everyone has their own reasons for playing games. Some play for entertainment, others for pure escapism, but for Cosmo Wright games are a sport.
