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. Axiom Verge is a 2D platformer, […]
Pokémon is currently undergoing a lot of change. The ninth generation of the series has brought the series into an open world format with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, while Legends: Z-A brought the series into full real-time gameplay.

Perfectly timed with the recent return of Fatal Fury, right? Will this be […]
I took a trip down memory lane by taking a (more literal) trip to Birmingham Gaming Market this weekend. It’s always interesting to check out retro games and this event by Replay Events has plenty of them, both common and obscure. There was plenty of focus on Japanese titles too. Don’t want to wait for […]
Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics is the latest compilation from the storied history of Technos, famous for Double Dragon and Kunio-Kun (often localized as River City).
