Let’s do the time warp again. Ready to feel old? It’s been about 13 years since the launch of the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VII, which itself was released about 13 years after the original on the PSX. That means that it’s time for yet another remake of the storied classic, which has been…

Well-remembered GTA-like The Simpsons: Hit & Run may never get those four sequels the developers were hoping for, but it’s being kept alive by modders nonetheless. There’s a mod to stitch its three zones together into a seamless open world, for instance. And now there’s Futurama: Hit & Run. The delightfully named Slurm Team has…
Another NPD monthly report, another great month for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
