Omega Force's crossovers which led to Persona 5 Strikers and Age of Calamity
When you consider how few main Dynasty Warriors / Musou entries have come to Nintendo platforms, it’s almost strange how much influence Koei Tecmo’s hack-and-slash series has upon the Switch library. Developed by Omega Force, their main Nintendo output has mostly been...

It means more fun for everyone in the end
Remember the days of the NES, Game Boy and SNES? Back then, video games seemed to be the sole domain of children.

Flag poll
As Nintendo has been reminding us this year, Super Mario Bros. is thirty-five years old.

Feature Ace Attorney's Hidden Legacy: The Evidence Capcom Didn't Present To The West
Despite long-standing objections, it seems the Great Ace Attorney is finally being localised

Soapbox 10 Years On, We Need More Brave, Worthwhile Experiments Like Epic Mickey
The Brave Little 'Failure'
In some ways, the Wii era feels further away than it actually is.

The idea that just ten years ago we were still...

Feature GBA Mod Company Creates The Game Gear Sega Should Have Released In 2020
Showing them how it's done
The Game Gear Micro was a neat little product and all, but it wasn't exactly practical – it's absolutely tiny, so playing it for longer than five minutes is an exercise in pain, and the fact that Sega only included a handful of games on each unit means you have to buy five different consoles to get the whole collection...

Interview "There Would Be No Control On Switch Without The Cloud," Says Remedy
We speak to the team behind the game
It's fair to say that few Nintendo Switch fans expected to see Control hitting their consoles in 2020, even if the version they've gotten leverages the power of the cloud rather than the Switch's built-in processing grunt.

Poll What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?
No Link option
As great as the Wii U was (and there's a good reason why the majority of its library has reappeared on its successor), it was never a 'cool' console.

What is this, a Game Gear for ants?
It's fair to say that Nintendo's erstwhile rival Sega shocked everyone when it announced that it was creating a teeny, tiny version of its Game Gear handheld to celebrate its 60th birthday.
