The Red Shoes. Fairy tales are never really what they seem. Growing up, we’re all exposed to these moral stories – often based on fable and myth – which have been adapted multiple times and, in many cases, softened too, whether it’s through a beautifully drawn picture book or a sanitised Disney adaptation. But as…
It’s party season. Nintendo has revealed a bunch of Switch bundles and discounts ahead of Black Friday and the Holiday season, but one new bundle to come out of this announcement is the Super Mario Party + Red & Blue Joy-Con Bundle, which launches on 10th November. Retailing at $99.99, you’ll be able to pick…
Super Mario RPG! Persona 5 Tactica! Bluey! Before you say anything, yes, we know it’s already November 6th at the time of writing, but it’s never too late to highlight some of the great games coming to the Nintendo Switch over the coming days and weeks. Yes, Halloween has come and gone, the days are…
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. DidYouKnowGaming is back with another deep dive video looking into the studio’s history, specifically detailing…
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…
Return of the Smash Joy-Con. 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…
