Lunar Remastered Collection review

System: Switch
Release date: April 18, 2025
Developer: Ashibi / Game Arts
Publisher: GungHo

There’s a kind of magic that only summer can hold – long days, the hum of cicadas, and for me, the unmistakable excitement of borrowing a PlayStation game from a new RPG-obsessed friend I’d met at summer day camp (shout out to Nik from the YMCA Day Camp program, you were legit.) I was twelve, sunburned, full of cheap cookies, sugary artificially flavored red drink, and a sense of adventure. The game was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I didn’t know it then, but that disc would become one of the most formative RPG experiences of my awkward little middle school life.

Croc Legend of the Gobbos review

System: Switch
Release date: April 2, 2025
Developer: Argonaut Games
Publisher: Argonaut Games

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos first emerged in 1997 as a 3D platformer developed by Argonaut Software and published by Fox Interactive on the original PlayStation. Originally conceptualized as a Yoshi-centric racing game for Nintendo, it took on a life of its own when that collaboration fell through, leaving us with our adorable and plucky green crocodile set out on an adventure to free the charming little creatures that rescued and reared him. Brown, fuzzy, and cute to boot, the Gobbos are scattered all around the islands and apparently only Croc was spared – leaving him in the best position to start on those rescue efforts.

Atelier Yumia review

System: Switch
Release date: March 25, 2025
Developer: Gust
Publisher: Koei Tecmo

For over 25 years, the Atelier series has carved out a unique space in the RPG genre, blending alchemy-driven crafting, character-driven narratives, and a laid-back sense of adventure. Since its debut in 1997, the franchise has evolved through multiple generations, refining its various beloved systems while maintaining the core charm that maintains its long-lived fan base. Unlike the high-stakes, world-ending plots of traditional RPGs, Atelier games often focus on personal growth, discovery, and the joy of creation – where gathering ingredients and crafting the perfect item can be just as satisfying as toppling a powerful foe. At times you may do both in quick succession, even.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster review

System: Switch
Release date: March 6, 2025
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami


Konami’s Suikoden series is not only much-lauded for players of turn-based RPGs, but boastfully comprises a total of eleven games, with five of those being mainline titles and the rest being considered spin-offs. With the original Suikoden hitting the PlayStation back in December of 1996 here in the west, it was a time where RPGs could sometimes be hard to find, with pre-orders being a common way for gamers to assure they’d get to have their own copy rather than being a dirty rental peasant like myself. This resulted in the title being mostly overlooked at the time, but having gathered a bit of a cult following since gaining more traction as subsequent titles joined the roster. Teased originally for a 2023 release, after a delay the first two mainline entries in the series will be available for players on modern consoles with Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars – so if you slept on Suikoden before, or haven’t heard of the series this is a very good time for you to see an example of the golden ages of turn-based RPGs.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the official Nintendo Everyone Facebook group – a dedicated space for our readers to connect, discuss Nintendo news, and participate in engaging weekly events. Check out what you can expect, as well as a link to the group after the break!

Phantom Brave Lost Hero review

System: Switch
Release date: January 30, 2025
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher: NIS America


Few games have left a lasting impression quite like Phantom Brave, the tactical JRPG developed by Nippon Ichi Software. Released over twenty years ago, the original title earned a devoted following for its unique blend of free-range combat, touching storytelling, and unforgettable characters. Now, after years of anticipation, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is set to deliver the next chapter in this beloved series. With a modern twist on the classic formula, this sequel aims to honor its predecessor while introducing a new generation of fans to the enchanting world of Ivoire.

Three new offerings are now available on the Nintendo Switch Online’s Super Nintendo app:

  • Fatal Fury 2, a 1992 release is a follow-up to SNK’s Fatal Fury: Kings of Power – a 2-Plane sidescrolling fighting game.
  • Super Ninja Boy, a 1991 ction role-playing game released for the Super NES. It features random encounters with side-scrolling battles.
  • Sutte Hakkun, a 1997 action puzzle game featuring a character of the same name that never made it overseas – it did, however, have its original release over the Satellaview broadcast system.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II preview

Nihon Falcom has long been known for delivering compelling RPGs that blend peerless storytelling with robust and engaging gameplay mechanics. The studio’s latest entry continues this tradition, promising an experience that builds on its predecessor while introducing new elements to keep players engaged. With its western release set for February 14, 2025, anticipation is high among fans of the series. Having attended a preview event for the game, I’m excited to share a deeper dive into its features, beginning with the refined battle system that has become a hallmark of the franchise.
