Month: August 2025

Get to your ships! D-Day, Jaleco’s 1984 arcade shooter, will arrive today on Nintendo Switch as part of Arcade Archives.

Plus many more! Nintendo will be making an appearance at this year’s Gamescom, and it looks like the company’s full line-up of games has been revealed (thanks, Games Wirtschaft). It’s a doozy, folks. Included in the selection are the likes of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Final Fantasy 7…

Four additional characters and much more. Alongside EVO 2025 this weekend, Capcom announced it would be releasing a free title update for the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 next week on 7th August 2025.

Be in the know. Nintendo has already launched a news app this year, and now The Pokémon Company International is following this up with its very own events application for mobile devices. This new app – officially known as Pokémon Events – is now available on Android and IOS and as the name suggests, it’s…

Dead aim. I don’t think I’ve ever messed around with a game’s settings menu as much as The House of the Dead 2: Remake. And, unfortunately, try as I might, I could never get the game to feel ‘good’. Much like its predecessor on the Switch, Forever Entertainment’s latest arcade revamp is limited to just…

Lore of the Swings. From the moment Nintendo revealed Pauline’s presence in Donkey Kong Bananza, I knew one thing for certain: I was going to be writing a feature on the DK timeline in the next two months.
