Four additional characters and much more. Alongside EVO 2025 this weekend, Capcom announced it would be releasing a free title update for the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 next week on 7th August 2025. It will add multiple quality of life upgrades, new artwork, remix tracks from Cap-JAMS, and four characters to Street Fighter Alpha 3…
A Link to the Millennium. Two of my favourite games growing up were The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana. Lush green worlds, curious — and sometimes cute — enemies, and fluid action combat for the time; as someone who had largely only played turn-based RPGs for the first…
Puck around and find out. It’s not that often that a perfectly good and functional air hockey video game drops. In fact, considering that the grotty arcade staple translates so readily to the sphere, very few air hockey games release in general. One of life’s persisting mysteries, right there. However, fear not Switch 2-owning air…
Another weekend with the King of Swing. Welcome to August, folks! Let’s kick things off right with a fresh edition of What Are You Playing. It was Direct week over in Nintendo Land, with a Partner Showcase delivering us 25 minutes of… meh. There were some big hitters that we’re pleased to see (Persona 3…
Are you ready, kids? Following a recent rumour, THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp have now officially lifted the lid on the latest SpongeBob SquarePants game. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will make its debut across multiple platforms including the Switch 2 later this year on 18th November 2025, with pre-orders now live for €39.99…
“Coming soon” to Switch 2. It’s the fighting game event EVO 2025 this weekend, and there are all sorts of announcements taking place alongside the competition. With this in mind, SEGA has released a new trailer for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. As part of this, the developer has released a new trailer focused on the…
A nice little lineup. The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase for July 2025 may have come and gone, but if you need a reminder of all the games that featured in it (and if our full round-up wasn’t enough for ya), then the Big N has got you covered. A brand new infographic shared on the…
My favourite one is both. Note. This article contains minor, non-narrative spoilers (specifically, Bananza forms and mid-game layers). Did you know there was a U-turn jump in Bananza? I just realised this morning! He does a roll jump (that can be chained into another air roll) and lands with a sonar splash. I’m not exactly…
Bored of the board. Famitsu has shared its latest look at the physical software charts in Japan, and the podium is a Switch 2 washout. Mario Kart World has claimed the gold again (no surprises there), leaving Donkey Kong Bananza still swinging steady in second, but it’s Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2…
Star-Crossed lovers. As the Switch 2 enters its third month in the wild, the new games are coming in slow but steady. The wealth of Switch 1 games old and new that benefit from the new console’s extra power is helping us pass the time between totally brand new S2 games following launch. Most players…
