Zeb-easy now. A mysterious rating for a project called Metroid Ravenous has been spotted on the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security site by Universo Nintendo (thanks, VGC). The rating was swiftly removed, but a screenshot has been posted to verify its authenticity. Filed by Nintendo of America, it refers to a project in…
July noted. The various heatwaves have kicked us into Summer mode in the Northern Hemisphere, with a whole bunch of reasons for gamers to stay inside with the fans on and air-con turned to the max. Having just pushed Star Fox out the door, Nintendo has Rhythm Heaven lined up at the start of July,…
The first of the Big Three to pull the plug. The day we’ve known for years was coming has finally arrived – or its arrival has been announced.

You threw off my groove. The final first-party Switch 1 game (as announced at the time of writing) is almost here, with Rhythm Heaven Groove set to launch tomorrow on 2nd July.

“The technical improvements are substantial”. Sonic Frontiers got a not-so-surprising Definitive Edition release on the Switch 2 last week as part of the ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog 35th anniversary celebrations.
