For good or bad, gaming journalism doesn’t exactly have the best reputation. Based in part due to a lack of fact checking and in part due to a need to be first at all costs, the general perception seems to be that your typical gaming site will post virtually anything for a couple of social […]
As you know, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t exactly have an eShop. Instead, the monthly charge you pay to access the console’s online service gives you access to a wide assortment of ‘free’ games, with you getting access to a whole library’s worth rather than just whatever ones you personally bought. It’s a neat enough setup, […]
Edit: Since the game’s now out, we may as well give a translation for the article and the characters involved in. Basically, the SS Company is called Best Fitness Friends (BFF for short) in English, whereas Sulimu, Muchio and Kyutto are named Dieter, Beef and Kaley respectively. As you know, Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside […]
Ever since its announcement at E3 2017, Nintendo’s been a bit vague about when exactly Yoshi’s Crafted World would launch.

It was an interesting announcement, not least given the series hadn’t seen a new game since 2008’s Wii remake of the original. Could Klonoa really be getting an adaptation 8 years after it died? Would the character’s franchise really […]
As everyone knows, it’s often the case that games will contain files for future DLC before said DLC has been released. This is true of the Pokémon series, where every event Pokémon has been programmed in before they’re made available in game. It’s true of Super Mario Odyssey, where every DLC outfit and piece of […]
Ever since the start of the WarioWare series, there’s been a side game included. Named Pyoro (or Bird and Beans in its European eShop release), the game involves a bird called Pyoro eating various objects with his tongue to rack up as many points as possible, with the game ending whenever he screws up and […]

From the dawn of gaming, unused content in games has cast a fascinating light on what could have been. Whether its unused levels and areas like in the Mario or Zelda series, scrapped Pokémon and trainer fights like in that series or even whole mechanics like Bottles Revenge in Banjo-Tooie, games have always had tons […]
