Strong rumors had been circling for months about a Nintendo Switch port of Persona 5 was almost a guarantee. Speculation grew stronger when the game's protagonist, Ren Amamiya, or Joker, was announced as a guest character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Well, on April 25th, a reveal for the expansion of the Persona 5…

ONE is pure action. Unbridled, unadulterated, non-stop action. It's amazing that there were TWO Contra games during the fifth generation on Playstation and Sega Saturn, and both were so atrociously generic that even a refresher their existence and atrip to Wikipedia will still leave you dumbfounded that BORING Contra games exist. Meanwhile, there's…

The Notre Dame cathedral last week experienced a destructive fire that left in its wake massive amounts of damage to the historical structure. The news left Parisians and the world devastated. UbiSoft, looking to aid in its restructuring, has spoken officially about the matter in a press release:

"Notre-Dame is an integral part of Paris, a city…

The Stanley Cup Playoffs kicked off a week ago, so why not a better time to talk some retro hockey? Unlike many other genres, in the ever evolving medium that is video games, sports titles age rapidly and are awkward to go back and revisit, but I find hockey titles fun to mess around with from almost any era. NHL All-Star Hockey (later becoming the…

Karate Champ, developed by Technos Japan, is a game where everyone knew it sucked, but we played anyway. In a time before Street Fighter II established the foundation for building a quality fighting game, there was  Yie Ar Kung-Fu, produced by Konami, and Karate Champ. Whereas Yie Ar Kung-Fu was a good, responsive game for its time, Karate Champ felt…

During SNK Corporation's live stream, some information was dropped regarding the much anticipated return of the company's weapons-based franchise, Samurai Spirits, or known in the west as Samurai Shodown. It has been ten years since the series' last effort, Samurai Shodown Sen, released on the Xbox 360 in 2009 (2008 in Japan) and it was overall…

I often refer to the fifth generation consoles ("Hey, Clown-Face!") as the Dark Ages. Not because the games were bad, but the 3D rendering and texture mapping was at the same very young, but still incredibly fascinating ("Hey, Clown-Face!"). There weren't a lot of 3D games, so companies didn't know how an action title would work. Enter The Crow: City…

The Playstation 5 is expected to be announced as official by Sony at some point in this calendar year or by early 2020. After a strong 2018, Sony is sitting out this year's E3 event to begin focus on their next gen hardware. They still have The Last of Us 2 and Days Gone as signature game releases, but the eyes are set toward the future. So now comes…

Available only on the Sega Genesis, General Chaos pits two opposing armies against each other on a single screen battlefield with an isometric view. The overall presentation is physical comedy, which is a giveaway when looking at the box art, and the first thing that might cross your mind is Hogan’s Heroes. You don’t see this kind of comedy in…

It feels like I was only speaking about this merely two weeks ago. Konami has revealed details regarding their anniversary collection. And it sounds pretty juicy. In what seems to be quite a bundle, here are the titles that are known so far:

The Arcade Classics include:

Haunted Castle

Typhoon…

"...There is a universe of people who love playing games and there's a universe of people who love watching games."

 At Google's GDC 2019, the tech giant revealed its dedicated streaming service, Stadia, a digital platform that aims to blend both gaming and streaming into a more free-flowing and easy service. The dawning of…

Combining two genres into one, The Guardian Legend pulls double duty by splicing both a top down space shooter and an overhead exploration action game. Playing the role of a gynoid simply known as The Guardian of Earth, you arrive on a planet-esque fortress called Naju and must activate ten keys and detonate it while fending off hostile alien…

A sequel to Windjammers was announced for the Nintendo Switch and the PC, and for the first time gameplay footage was revealed. Showcasing new moves and features, as well as two new characters, Max and Grace (Max looks like a heavy or a medium, Grace seeming very fleet-footed), Windjammers 2 looks to recapture the fast-paced, exhilarating action of…

Demon's Crest is my favorite game on the SNES. A spinoff of Ghosts n Goblins that places the player in the role of Red Arremer (or Firebrand), who when he isn't being a horrible pain flying over Arthur's head, is in more of a Stone Cold Steve Austin anti-hero in his solo adventure.…

Power Rangers Battle For the Grid is an upcoming indie fighting game developed by San Francisco-based nWay Games, a company whose previous work include a Power Rangers mobile game, and ChronoBlade. Based on early reporting, it'll have a fast and fleeting tag team feel similar to the Marvel vs Capcom series and Dragonball FighterZ, last year's smashing…

The Nintendo Switch has seen its library expand considerably, with a lot of quality ports from third party companies. Capcom's influential survival horror series, Resident Evil, will be bringing the franchise to the hybrid console. Resident Evil (the remastered version of the Gamecube remake), RE0, and RE4 were announced this last October. Recently…

Konami used to be a staple when it came to gaming in the 80's and throughout the mid 90's, and that much goes without saying. You also don't have to look very far to find massive amounts of criticism and a sense of betrayal from a generation of gamers who grew up with the brand and don't even recognize the company as producer of video games anymore. Often the butt of many jokes and with the release of the widely lambasted Metal Gear Survive (a seemingly disingenuous slap in the face),…
