Like we did last summer. Back in 2010, the Wii’s Sin & Punishment: Star Successor inadvertently informed how, in various ways, the Space Harrier model could be revitalised in a contemporary fashion. In Air Twister, director Yu Suzuki, famous for creating Space Harrier, Out Run, and After Burner (not to mention Shenmue), doesn’t attempt anywhere…
Throwing it back. After a boatload of rumours, Epic Games finally confirmed last week that the original Fortnite island would be making a comeback with the launch of ‘Season OG‘. Well, after a weekend of playing, the studio has reported that the classic cameo brought about “the biggest day in Fortnite’s history”. According to the…
And an NFL game?! Retro Studios is best known for its work on the Metroid and Donkey Kong franchises. Still, the developer has dabbled in a number of intriguing projects that have unfortunately wound up on the cutting room floor.

Wahoo! The latest UK physical charts are in and it has been yet another strong showing from Super Mario Bros. Wonder as the Nintendo 2D platformer holds onto the top spot once again. The game’s main competitor for the past couple of weeks, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, has dropped down into third this time, leaving EA…

Just last week Nintendo revealed perhaps the least surprising Switch OLED bundle for the holiday season which packs in a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and thus continues the deal that we have seen for many years now. But, according to an image that is doing the rounds…
Chaos reassembled. Admittedly, we never dug the original Alien Hominid. First released on consoles in 2004, it had its fanbase, sure, but the Newgrounds art style, slack animation response, and aggravating rather than enjoyable difficulty curve just turned us off. Enter Alien Hominid: Invasion, a 2023 sequel that blasted out of nowhere, ready to appeal…
Jump up, jump up and get down. Updated with the… well, you know what word we’d use here: Super Mario Bros. Wonder. With so many excellent platformers available on Switch, picking something out from the overwhelming selection can be hard. The genre has a very strong pedigree on Nintendo systems going all the way back…
Our favourite Switch eShop games in October. The fireworks have started. The spooks are over. We’re approaching winter. And… it’s eShop Selects. We’re in November and closing in on the end of 2023, but while you sit around all wrapped up warm watching the fireworks for Bonfire Night (in the UK at least), why not…
You still need to “download an update” to play Part 2. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Part Two DLC ‘The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero – The Indigo Disk‘ was locked in for 14th December earlier this week. Now, in the lead-up to this, The Pokémon Company has officially released a new physical version including Part…
“I am a horror maniac who prefers to stay at home”. These days, it feels like every other indie game released is a roguelite of some kind, and while there are a lot of good ideas brought to the table, the barrage of releases can feel like they start to blend together. Not so with…
