As part of D4Enterprise’s ongoing EGGCONSOLE series. The original MSX version of Compile’s classic shoot ’em up Zanac is coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop, it’s been announced. The rerelease is the work of D4 Enterprise and is part of the company’s ongoing series of retro reissues based on games that were originally released on…
We’re inclined to agree. Just days after Moon Studios’ lead Thomas Mahler expressed his desire to see the Banjo-Kazooie franchise in the hands of a “really talented developer”, original composer Grant Kirkhope has taken to social media to say that he has “zero hope” in a potential new entry (thanks, Eurogamer). He then went on…
Twenty years ago, the original Monster Hunter first introduced players to its ever-expanding arsenal of weapons and memorable monsters. Since then, the series has grown in popularity around the world, and been refined into one of the finest multiplayer experiences gaming has to offer. There’s still a special satisfaction that comes from taking down an…
Capcom has pulled off a hell of a feat with Street Fighter 6. First, it made an incredible fighting game that’s both proudly trying new things and reverently faithful to its history.

(I’m still a little sketchy on my dragon punches.) Its character intros and outros are lovingly animated in a 3D style that mimics 2D anime—which means it’s only fitting that Guilty…
Despite it being a move that’s ‘almost tank your only real live-service success of the year’ unpopular, Sony has region-locked another game a staggering 10 months after its initial release. Picked up by a ResetEra user, Horizon Forbidden West, as per SteamDB, is now unable to be purchased in a list of countries—a list that’s…
You could be forgiven for thinking that most gaming mice are much of a muchness. After all, other than the occasional dash of colour and the odd extra button, the design of many squeakers has become something of a homogenous thing—with some notable exceptions, of course. Yes, there’s the occasional porker with trick side panels…
Bring on the Smackdown. After many weeks of teases, The Pokémon Company has finally revealed when we can expect to see Trading Card Game Pocket‘s next expansion and the long-awaited trade feature. Surprise! They’re both arriving next week! Trading will be the first to be added to the card-collecting app, with the feature going live…
