Sony's digital reveal show has finished up, and we here at Game Fix have the details from the fallout, in case you missed it! Like Nintendo Directs, and even E3 or PAX shows, these offerings should be met with a certain level of hype and expectations.

Most arcade ports to the NES seemed to go pretty well for the NES, as far as I can remember. I only briefly played this in the arcades at Chuck E Cheese and decided that getting killed in Zaxxon was more fun because it was in space. As far as a home port goes, Breakthru isn’t too bad, though it is hindered by some of the many problems most NES…

It's 1996. X-Men vs Street Fighter opened up Pandora's box when Capcom's World Warriors crossed fists with the mutants from Marvel Comics, launching the Vs line of games under the Capcom umbrella. The games used the same CP-System II engine that many Capcom games utilized, including Super Street Fighter II Turbo, X-Men Children of the Atom and the…

I love myself a good pinball table. Brawlers, SHMUPs, and fighters were my regular quarter munchers in an arcade room, but the pinball table is like putting a Rubix Cube on a living room coffee table; at some point, you're going to feel inclined to mess with it. Two of my favorite tables were Space Jam and Terminator 2. While it was hard to replicate…

I laugh at a game like 2018's Agony, one of the most aptly named titles ever. Watching that try to be as edgy and controversial as possible in a time where most messed up fetishes are a Google search away is almost adorable. Agony doesn't have the refined dignity of 1994's Boogerman, a game that may as well have been produced by the kid who wrote the…

One of the topics that has surrounded the Nintendo Switch for as long as the console launched has been "when will we see a more powerful version of the Switch?". The hybrid console is powered by NVIDIA's Tegra X1, which isn't as powerful as the base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The X1 in the Switch, which has better RAM and is easier to keep cool, is…

Growing up, Zombies Ate My Neighbors wasn't really all that big a deal to me. I remember playing it a couple of times, my cousin had it and we rented it a few times, but when it came to co-op in our household, Jackal and Contra was more popular. Even some other games like The Chaos Project: Soldiers of Fortune, a top-down shooter from the Bitmap…

Getting one's hands on a next generation console is not easy. Most major retailers have a hard time maintaining inventory long enough for consumers to purchase one. It isn't helped that online scalpers sending spam bots to buy up units clean out stores fast enough before orders can be placed, the complications of the Coronavirus have more than…

Action RPGs can be incredibly addictive. Back at the height of my PC playing days when I would invest days and weeks during summer vacation (and even when high school was in session) logging into Command & Conquer: Red Alert and WarCraft II, I alternated that with many an hours booting up the granddaddy of action RPGs, Diablo II.

Throughout their history, Nintendo has always been known for their aim to innovate and approach gaming in as many unique manners as possible, and they have a track record of merging gaming with exercise.
