Where does the time go? It seems an almost impossible notion to consider, but with the Nintendo Switch celebrating its eighth birthday today, it’s now merely two years away from being a decade old. A decade. That’s simply absurd. It would be oh-so easy to remark on how the console is an ageing relic at…
“Mario vs. Donkey Kong” series may not be Nintendo’s most-heralded franchise, it is now forever entrenched in the company’s history as the first game to use any type of cross-play feature.

Overwatch 2 announced that it would be returning to the Chinese region right at the beginning of the year, with NetEase and Blizzard coming to a new agreement for a contract which would allow players to access the game again.

Werehogs, not swearhogs. Like all big pop culture moments, time has done weird things to the public perception of Sonic Unleashed. What launched in HD on Xbox 360 and PS3 (and in SD on Wii and PS2) back in 2008 to the lukewarm reception of “oh, it’s like Sonic only slower… and greyer” has developed…
