“I wasn’t prepared for how difficult it was to shoot the ball”. Drag x Drive has received a rather beefy update earlier today, and to coincide with Patch 1.2.0’s release, Nintendo has dropped a series of Ask the Developer interviews with the lead trio. Yoshinori Konishi (director and programming director), Hiroki Hamaue (programmer), and Takahisa…
“The magic remains in tact”. If you can believe it, we are very, very nearly at the official launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. It’s a cross-generation release, but we always knew that this was going to be a big player for the Switch 2, making the most of the new hardware’s beefed-up specs to…
Samusings. Reviews for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are live, including ours, although you may have noticed that it’s focused on the Switch 2 Edition, and MP4 is also launching on Switch 1. If you’re looking for impressions on the original Switch version, they are coming – please bear with us. We weren’t able to test…
And Samus has a brand new voice. When Metroid Prime 4: Beyond landed with Retro Studios back in 2019, we’re not sure anybody was truly shocked by this turn of events. Retro is, after all, the original developer of the Prime series, and while many of the veteran team members have since left, the sheer…
Sy-luxurious. I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Ever since Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ended on a slight cliffhanger (provided you obtained the 100% completion rating) back in 2007, I’ve been wondering where exactly Nintendo and Retro Studios might take the series next. 18 years would follow, and that’s an awful long time to…
Catching Zs. The Pokémon Company has revealed yet another new Mega ‘mon arriving in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC, but more than that, it has revealed a whole new type of Mega Evolution. Mega Lucario Z is the latest Fighting- and Steel-type Mega Evolution to join the line-up, boasting a swanky blue and…
The path to Mega Mewtwo starts here. As a part of today’s Mega Dimension DLC news, The Pokémon Company revealed Legends: Z-A‘s next Mystery Gift Code event, and it’s not one to be missed. The event is live in-game right now. All that you need to do is head to the ‘Mystery Gift’ menu and…
A Switch 1 vs Switch 2 showdown. Red Dead Redemption has lassoed its way onto Switch 2 today, bringing with it HDR and DLSS support, mouse controls and a smooth 60fps. The big question is, what does all of this look like in practice, and perhaps more importantly, how does it compare to 2023’s Switch…
“That’s one I just treasure”. If you have a passing interest in gaming outside of Nintendo, you’ll likely have experienced the work of Mark Cerny. He was the Lead Architect of the PlayStation Vita, PS4, and PS5 — you might remember him from the PS5 Pro reveal — and he appears on the most recent…
Demo also updated. The Switch 2 and eShop exclusive Drag x Drive has today received a new game update, bumping it up to Version 1.2.0. This follows an update in September and comes loaded with general updates (such as adding the chasing game Survival Tag to multiple modes) and multiple fixes. It also makes some…
