Sometimes, a game pops up that you know absolutely nothing about and completely passed you by on release. Axiom Verge is one of those titles, originally coming out in 2015 on Playstation 4, trickling out on a variety of other platforms in 2016, then finally being brought to the Switch in 2017.

Wonder was fated to get an enhanced rerelease on Nintendo’s improved Switch 2 console. This updated release is an even more jam-packed version of what was already a pretty dense game. Time to visit the […]
Alongside Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Sonic Rumble is another 2025 release featuring the blue hedgehog stepping into the world of more multiplayer-focused genres. The main modes of the game are battle-royale-esque elimination contests and minigames. As a free to play game, I thought I’d give it a try to see if this title is worth your […]
Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel are games that hardly need any introduction. Both released back on the Wii and were immediately hailed as some of the greatest games ever made thanks to a combination of inventive platforming, excellent presentation, and tasteful motion control implementation. While the series has since moved on from those games, […]
The Shinobi series was considered Sega’s answer to Ninja Gaiden back in the late 80s, combining their arcade game know-how with the aesthetics of classic ninja movies.

Released back in 2022, Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the mainline Kirby’s grand debut in the third dimension.
