Hand me the bug repellent bat-spray, Robin. When it comes to superhero games, Rocksteady Studios served us up a trio of the very best examples of the genre with its superlative Batman: Arkham Trilogy. Whether you prefer the smaller scale and comparative intimacy of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the vast open world of Arkham City or…
“Maybe”. In recent years, The Legend of Zelda fans have grown increasingly vocal in their desire to play as the titular character in mainline Zelda games. Many thought that this might finally happen in Tears of the Kingdom, but alas – spoilers – it didn’t. In an interview with IGN before The Game Awards, Eiji…
Start wins. This review originally went live in 2013, and we’re updating and republishing it to mark the game’s arrival in Switch’s N64 library via the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. The Nintendo 64 and Rare go together like Banjo and Kazooie. The developer was behind several of the stellar titles found on the system,…
And fans aren’t too happy. In case you missed it, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom won Best Action/Adventure Game at this year’s Game Awards event in Los Angeles. Fans, however, are a bit miffed at the organisers of the show as it appears that during Eiji Aonuma’s acceptance speech, a teleprompter urged…

PikWIN. The Game Awards 2023 turned out to be a pretty big night for Nintendo, with Switch announcements coming left, right and centre (you can find them all in our round-up). It was also a big one for wins. We have covered a few of those on the site already, but let’s all give a…
The “World Premieres” are back. That’s it, folks. Another year, another Game Awards ceremony has come and gone. And what a night, hey? It was a pretty good night for Nintendo at The Game Awards 2023, with Super Mario Bros. Wonder taking home Best Family Game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom winning…
But there’s no mention of Nintendo platforms. To end The Game Awards, Capcom unveiled the next major entry in the Monster Hunter series. It’s called Monster Hunter Wilds and it will be released on multiple platforms in 2025. The unfortunate catch is there’s no mention of Nintendo platforms, but given the series’ past history, anything…
Nintendo also scooped up some awards. The Game Awards has just wrapped up for another year and Larian’s epic RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 just won the award. It was up against Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Baldur’s Gate 3 also took…
Eiji Aonuma accepts the award. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was up for multiple nominations at The Game Awards this year, and the one it’s taken out in the end is best “action / adventure” game.
