And he’d love to make another soundtrack, “if asked”. Those lovely folks over at VGC spoke to the one and only Hirokazu Tanaka — better known as ‘Hip’ or ‘Chip’ Tanaka — at Bitsummit’s Indie Game Event in Kyoto last month and, it seems, the main man may well be up for making some sweet…
Out in November. Koei Tecmo has released a brand new trailer for Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack, which will contain DX versions (essentially, expanded versions) of the Atelier Ryza trilogy of games, which launched on Switch. Plus, the trio has a release date of 13th November 2025 for both Switch 1 and Switch 2….
Four decades of 1-1. Five years ago, Nintendo made an appropriately big thing of Super Mario Bros.‘ 35th anniversary, with a bespoke Direct broadcast featuring a bunch of new games and, naturally, merch celebrating the Famicom release of video gaming’s most famous platformer on 13th September 1985. Half a decade on and the 40th anniversary…
Shinobi! Shantae! Kirby! We are barreling straight into another month of Switch 2, and while August might not be quite as packed as the last, there’s still plenty of new game goodness coming our way. Here to run us through all of the big hitters coming to Switch 1 and 2 in the next four…
Tell them what you want, what you really, really want (again). Nintendo has already been doing a little surveying and gathering of feedback, as we reported a few weeks back, with regards to physical and digital games, including how game-key cards are going down. Spoiler alert: they aren’t really going down very well at all….
I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure. Atari has announced that its new retro-inspired metroidvania Adventure of Samsara will launch on the Switch next month on 4th September 2025. Loosely based on the 2600 title Adventure from creator Warren Robinett, Adventure of Samsara looks pretty awesome and we’re really digging the whole retro…
Heads will roll. To return to Ninja Gaiden’s 2D roots in 2025 is a wonderful thing. Dotemu, upon acquiring the license for a series reboot, approached Spanish indie developer The Game Kitchen to get the job done. Known for their remarkable Blasphemous titles, the project was overseen by Team Ninja, who have held the series…
Keep the tunes coming. Nintendo has rolled out its latest update for the Nintendo Music mobile app, and the biggest change seems to be the arrival of “some features” for anyone who let their Nintendo Switch Online membership expire. That “some features” all sounds pretty mysterious, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly how the Big N…
And it’s still releasing this year, according to Nintendo! We are all pretty excited for Metroid Prime 4‘s arrival at this stage, we think you’ll agree. In fact, apart from the ever-elusive Silksong, we can’t think of another game that’s got us biting on our furniture as we wait for further information about when we…
AC adapter. Whenever the weather in Japan reached particularly high temperatures throughout the Switch’s lifespan, Nintendo would release a statement reminding everyone that the OG hybrid was not cut out for such conditions. As it turns out, the Switch 2 is no different (thanks for the heads up, Eurogamer). Japan has been experiencing a huge…
