From March 11th through the 26th, the Presidential Suite will be transformed into the Nintendo Switch Suite, allowing…

Sad news in the world of video games. Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the father of the Konami Code, has passed away at the age of 79. While the mid 2000's saw a surge of interest in revisiting the video games many children grew up playing in the 1980s and early 90's, the Konami Code was a meme before the term was coined by popular usage and it's colloquially…

Four games will be available for Xbox Live Gold members starting on March 1st as a part of Games With…

Are there good Superman games out there? It seems that the Man of Steel hasn't quite been as successful as other DC or Marvel heroes when it comes to having a video game worth playing. Poor Kal-El is burdened with having an offering like Superman 64 and the clunky Kotobuki produced Superman on NES in '87 to go down in infamy and little to nothing…

Four years into the game's life, Street Fighter V has been rather infamous for its less than stellar netcode and has lead to many of the problems the online community has had with efforts to enjoy stable play while battling it out with people across the globe. As Street Fighter V has been seemingly designed to be a fighting game aimed exclusively for…

Mario games are flag bearers for each featured piece of Nintendo hardware. Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES, Super Mario World on the SNES, and the N64's Super Mario 64. Nintendo's iconic plumber and his series always set the standard for quality platform games throughout the ages. The dawning of the 3D era in gaming proposed new challenges for how…

The failed partnership between Nintendo and Sony will go down in history as one of the biggest, most pivotal moments in the history of gaming. The falling out of the deal for Sony to manufacture a CD-based add-on for the Super Nintendo eventually lead to the creation of Nintendo's greatest challenge and an adversary who would knock them off their…

For Nintendo Switch Online users, the service is adding four new (old) games this month for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System:

A vertical scrolling shooter, Pop'n Twinbee is the sixth game in the Twinbee series developed by Konami and originally released…

What are your favorite SNES platform games? A lot of the well-known greats are generally on everyone’s list. Super Metroid, Super Castlevania 4, Super Mario World, Mega Man X, Donkey Kong Country, Skyblazer, Earthworm Jim………Wait, what’s Skyblazer? For clarity, I didn’t discover this game until about six years ago, and I feel quite sheepish about…

To say the road for Anthem has been rocky would be an understatement. Since its release a year ago, Bioware's open world multiplayer project has struggled to maintain a player base after fairly respectable initial sales, though not enough to meet the projection of 6 million units sold by the end of March 2019. The much anticipated game was drummed up with anticipation, actually spending…

After what has felt like a long hiatus, Castlevania's animated series will finally continue. Netflix sent out a tweet today, along with a poster promoting art from the upcoming follow-up to season two. Season 1's initial 4 episodes airing in July of 2017, while received much critical acclaim, felt like a teaser. Season 2 was expanded up to 8 episodes,…

Konami is the first video game company I distinctly remember growing up on. I've talked about the overhead action gunner Jackal countless times, it's my favorite video game of all time. Contra was heavily played in our house for years. And there's Life Force, a very quality SHMUP for the NES that I am confident I touched almost as much as Jackal, if…
