A little more than a year and month ago, I reviewed the Fighting Edition of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the SNES and suggested that be the place to go to find your Super Sentai spandex-clad smackdown for your sixteen bit systems. The engine it ran on was really good, the graphics were fantastic for their time, and Natsume put a lot of effort into…

When Genshin Impact was announced last year, there was a lot of comparisons to the Nintendo exclusive Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They're both open world, they both have cell shading style graphics, and they both emphases exploration. 

The biggest difference between the two games is Genshin is…

The Microsoft news continues to roll in as the marathon towards the release date of the Xbox Series X draws near. In this recent announcement, the tech company is teaming up with GameStop in a strategic alliance to advance GameStop's strategic pillars and advance the company's omni-channel ecosystem. This move will possibly provide a much needed…

Hallmark's Keepsake Nintendo ornament collection continues to grow this year with the addition of multiple officially licensed ornaments. From Pokémon to Mario to the NES itself, this year's set is a great addition to your geeky tree. 

Many of these ornaments tend to sell out every year, which is where Donkey Kong comes in. This year's…

The Yakuza series has always been known to be quite surreal and a little larger than life as the series progressed. Its newest entry, Like a Dragon, the eighth mainline game and the first to not focus on long-time protagonist Kazama Kiryu, looks like it's going to be an absolute off-the-wall adventure pulled off the pages of a manga. 

Like A…

There's likely s study that can prove ninja will generally make anything and any situation that much better. Video games, movies, breakfast, weddings, turtles, clothes shopping for a toddler. Place a ninja in the general vicinity, and you got a party on your hands. Or at least a spy and/or vanquishing of a commander during the Sengoku period. The…

For the longest time, Nintendo had been known to drop the hammer down on emulation websites that host their goods. It looks like they have gained some footing in a long battle to stop piracy of the 3DS and the Nintendo Switch at the hands of Team Xecutor, notorious for selling goods designed to jailbreak game hardware for the Xbox 360, Nintendo…

Today Nintendo presented a small Smash Bros direct, mainly focusing on the newest character being added to the Nintendo brawler. 

The rumor mill went crazy with names. Is it going to be Doom Guy? Tracer? Yet another Fire Emblem character?! Nope, it was none of those. 

Much to the shock of, well pretty much everybody. The 77th…

First Blood will likely spill, as it appears that John Rambo will be making his way to Mortal Kombat 11. In a new update, dataminers combed through the information and found Rambo, along with two other characters, as upcoming roster additions. The leak, reported by thethiny on Twitter, sifted through upcoming content and these alleged DLC files, which…

Of all the Sega franchises, I really miss Panzer Dragoon the most. The SHMUP genre has a plethora of classics to choose from, leaving many of the names off this month was not an easy decision. Titles like Arrow Flash, Zaxxon, Thunderforce, and M.U.S.H.A. will certainly get their time. But I can't think of a better game to wrap up this month with…

The popularity of video games have been eclipsing other forms of entertainment for going on close to a decade and are celebrated on a worldwide scale. The Tribeca Film Festival looks to incorporate the genre as a part of their repertoire in the near future, as the institution looks to add a video game category to their ceremonies in New York City June…

My favorite in-game holiday for any video game is Halloween. The Headless Horseman in World of Warcraft and Junkenstein's Revenge in Overwatch always win my attention when the weather starts cooling off and the leaves blanket my yard. And now, Halloween is coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons and I AM HERE FOR…

Out of seemingly nowhere yesterday, Nintendo shared a trailer for Kirby Fighters 2 for the Nintendo Switch with an announcement that the game is immediately available for purchase!

With a little more than 24 hours has passed since Microsoft purchased ZeniMax Media, acquiring Bethesda and its wealth of talent to make the Xbox brand more appealing. The dust hasn't settled yet, and word from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and VP of gaming Phil Spencer spoke that they aren't quite done amassing talent under their umbrella as well as…

What would a month focusing on SHMUPs would be if I didn't speak of the origins of the genre, some of the grandfathers. Shooters were some of the earlier computer games that provided a foot in the door of more elaborate programming. Space War!, developed in 1962 on a PDP-1 computer, follows Pong as being one of the first video games made. It was later…

A surprise story Monday morning, it had been announced that Microsoft Corp has purchased the Maryland-based entertainment development and publishing company ZeniMax Media for an alloted sum of $7.5 billion dollars in cash.
