Monkeying around. The weekend is here, which means it’s time to relax and dive into a few games after what has no doubt been another busy, busy week. Before we do, however, let’s recap some of the week’s biggest stories. First up, it was revealed that Tencent would be bringing an end to online services…
It apparently wasn’t suitable for the LEGO brand. The LEGO video games have tapped all sorts of IP over the years, but one project that never did see the light of day was a James Bond entry. TT Games was at one point working on its own brick-based spin-off of the 007 franchise and now…
The “groundbreaking” anthology debuts next month. At Opening Night Live in August, Amazon shared a teaser of its new anthology series ‘Secret Level‘ from the “creative minds behind LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS. It’s a series focused on “original stories set within the worlds of some of the most beloved video games” and we’ve now got…
Fans are already calling for a Nintendo release. Nintendo’s platforms have hosted all sorts of iconic series over the years, but one we haven’t seen just yet is Shenmue. While nothing has admittedly changed on this front, a recent announcement has reignited hopes. ININ Games has revealed it has now “officially acquired” the publishing rights…
You’re gunna hear me Rauru. Remember earlier this year when Nintendo revealed its range of controller button fidget toys, sold exclusively in the gacha machines of its Japan stores? Well, it looks like there’s a new collection in town to get us envious all over again. As spotted by a whole host of people today…
Prepare to return… again. Nintendo has released a new trailer taking a look at every Donkey Kong Country game on Switch in preparation for the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on 16th January 2024. If you’ve got a subscription to the standard Nintendo Switch Online service, you can play every SNES game from…
Including a spicy full-art Venusaur. Gosh, the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket new additions just keep coming thick and fast, don’t they? Today, the game’s first ‘Drop Event’ has got underway, giving you a chance to pick up some tasty promo cards by taking part in special promo battles. The Venusaur Drop Event runs from…
Just stop. It’s no secret that the Switch eShop is home to a ridiculous amount of utter slop alongside the genuinely good games, but what’s baffling us is just how unwilling Nintendo seems to be to improve anything. Just this week, we highlighted a game that blatantly copied Witch Beam’s homework with Unpacking, and now…
‘Star Trek: Legends’ beams down on Xmas Day. For many years it’s been slim pickings for Star Trek games on Nintendo systems, and while we’ve got our fingers crossed that Star Trek: Resurgence will get ported sooner rather than later, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova — a solid co-op adventure from Tessera Studios — has been…
Wait, the meme was true?? Back in 2014, IGN, like many outlets, shared its review of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. While the vast majority showered the 3DS remakes with praise, IGN was slightly more critical, awarding them a 7.8/10 and noting that they have “too much water” (among other criticisms, naturally).
