According to an eShop listing, Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians will soon be appearing on Switch. Threaks is gearing up for the launch on August 13, 2024.

If Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians sounds familiar, that’s because we previously reported on the game years ago. The title first appeared on a Nintendo platform over a decade ago when it landed on Wii U.

Super Monkey Ball series sales North America

Although some fans may have been concerned about sales of Super Monkey Ball, especially data that followed the release of Banana Rumble, SEGA says that the series is doing perfectly fine.

In its first week, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble sold just 1,500 copies. That quickly prompted some concern. However, producer Nobuhiro Suzuki recently spoke about the franchise’s sales in a Famitsu interview and pointed to North American players as the current focus of the series and that’s where the IP has done well.

Zelda Majora's Mask N64 vs 3DS

We’re taking a bit of time to reflect on the Zelda: Majora’s Mask N64 vs. 3DS debate to think about the pros and cons of each version.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is often regarded as one of the better (if not one of the best) games in the series. This is despite how heavily it borrows assets from Ocarina of Time – it fashions old assets into new characters with set routines and believable reactions to the tragedies that occur in the game. That being said, the two versions of the game available right now, N64 and 3DS, provide different experiences. There isn’t a consensus on which version of the game is objectively better, however. Today, we’re going to discuss the differences between Majora’s Mask N64 vs 3DS and ask you the question: which one do you like better?

Thank Goodness You're Here review

System: Switch
Release date: August 1, 2024
Developer: Coal Supper
Publisher: Panic


It’s not very often that a video game makes me laugh. There are usually a few lines of dialogue that will elicit a smile or two, or maybe even a small chuckle if it’s especially witty. But prior to playing Thank Goodness You’re Here I couldn’t remember the last time I was genuinely amused, especially not to the point that I needed to put my console down to compose myself for a few moments at times. It’s definitely something you need to experience firsthand to appreciate, and unlike anything else I’ve played this year so far.
