Strong sails. Yesterday’s Pokémon chatter meant that we had to put Famitsu‘s Japanese charts on the backburner for a minute, but fear not, here they are! It has been a big one for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, with SEGA’s latest wacky RPG claiming the top two spots in its debut week as…

Double whammy bar. Crikey, is it 2007 again? Yes, accessory manufacturer CRKD – known primarily for the Nitro Deck – has teamed up with renowned guitar maker Gibson to unleash two new controllers for use on Switch and other devices. Available for pre-order now and expected to ship in June 2025, the two products are…

As of 10:05 pm Pacific on launch day, Wilds has snatched a spot among the most-played games on Steam, surpassing the all-time peak player…
“A prequel to the epic saga of the Hundred Heroes”. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes was one of the many RPGs to arrive on the Switch in 2024 and developer Rabbit & Bear Studios has now started its rollout of the story expansion DLC.
