Characters we could still see in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 6 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A few months back, we compiled a list of characters we’d like to see added to Kirby Air Riders. And fortunately, several of our picks actually came true – Marx, Taranza, Rocky, and Daroach were all revealed in the recent presentation held for the game. The same video also revealed that Kirby Air Riders won’t receive any DLC – a refreshing chance of pace to receive a complete game from day one, for sure, but it also means that the base game’s character roster will be final.
At the time of writing, we aren’t sure if Masahiro Sakurai has revealed every single character in Kirby Air Riders. During the game’s Direct, it was never clarified if everything during the presentation rounded out the roster Historically – and with the exception of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Sakurai tends to leave a couple of characters hidden for players to unlock. So today, we’re looking at a few remaining contenders that we could see in the game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 6 days ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: November 6, 2025
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo
It goes without saying that Hyrule Warriors is no doubt the most successful spin-off series The Legend of Zelda has ever seen. The original Hyrule Warriors was met with praise when it released on Wii U, and things have only gone up from there. More recently, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity released on Nintendo Switch. And though it received generally positive reviews, its performance was heavily criticized. To sum up Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, then – if you liked Age of Calamity, you’ll love this game. Though its performance isn’t perfect, it’s a huge step up from the previous title and offers tons of satisfying hack-and-slash gameplay.
Fans think they’ve found evidence of a new Crash Team Racing game
Posted on 6 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Is there a chance of Crash Team Racing 2 happening? Fans believe that the possibility exists after finding new evidence this week.
Beenox, the studio behind the original game, recently updated its banner art on X. The piece contained images from several of the company’s past projects, including 2019’s Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled. Where things get interesting is that there’s also concept art showing Crash in his kart. It’s noteworthy as the art uses his Crash Bandicoot 4 design – remember that Crash Bandicoot 4 launched after Crash Team Racing.
