Hitting snooze. Nintendo has announced that it is delaying the availability of Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo for non-Nintendo Switch Online members until early March 2025. This marks a delay of nearly two months after the firm initially confirmed that NSO exclusivity would remain in place until mid-January 2025. Furthermore, its availability in the UK and…
2025 off to a predictably sleepy start. The latest UK charts are in and, with only one new release to speak of, the list is much as you might expect. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana was the only new entry to the chart this week, just sneaking into the top 40 to land in…
Keeping the party going. We’re back with the latest Japanese charts folks; the first of 2025! It’s a little bit different for this first go around, too. Famitsu has posted software sales figures for the two weeks of 23rd-29th December and 30th Dec – 5th January, but no hardware figures. We’ll collate the top ten…
Please sir, can I have some Mordor? The year is 2025 and Lord of the Rings feels very much like it’s “a thing” again. We’re not sure that it ever really went away, to be honest, but we’ve got The Rings of Power on TV (and it’s actually rather good now), the War of the…
Make some space for the Kongs. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD rolls onto the Switch next week and Nintendo appears to have updated the estimated file size of the eShop download. According to the eshop, this new version (including the Wii and 3DS content) has dropped from 9.0GB to 8.3GB. As we previously mentioned, the…
Long live the Empire. Welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl, folks! Last week, we took a look at Crash Nitro Kart for the GameCube, a sequel to Crash Team Racing that never quite managed to step out of its predecessor’s shadow. North America sealed the deal this time with 53% of the vote,…
Instead we got Switch Online’s retro subscription tiers. Before Nintendo’s subscription service took off, fans were able to individually buy and download first-party retro titles and play them whenever they wanted thanks to the Virtual Console service. Although this was eventually replaced with Switch Online’s tier-based retro library, Nintendo apparently had plans to carry over…
The official release takes place next week. Ahead of the launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Switch next week, some players have supposedly already “got their hands on” physical copies of the game. This was highlighted by ‘Nintendeal’ on social media, which also notes how pre-orders for the game have now sold out…
An era’s end. A lot has changed in video gaming since Switch launched in 2017. Beyond all Nintendo’s handheld hybrid switching, we now live in a world where a Nintendo game on mobile is a fairly normal occurrence and both Microsoft and Sony publish games on Nintendo’s console. Crazy. As we await official word on…
“2005… I’ll never forget it”. It seems funny to think back on it now, but during the early days of Resident Evil – when decomposing zombies were the top dog and Raccoon City was everybody’s favourite apocalyptic holiday destination – the idea that the franchise would find itself in the rural outskirts of Europe in…
