Nintendo ranks #22 in Metacritic’s 2024 game publisher rankings
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
The annual Metacritic publisher rankings just went live, and now we have the results for 2024 – including a look at where Nintendo stacks up. The selection is based on how each company fared in terms of their releases and reviews.
In 2024, Nintendo actually saw a big dip. The company sits at #22, compared to #6 for 2023 – and behind both Sony and Microsoft. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom definitely provided a big boost which was missing in 2024, but even taking that into account, it’s a significant decline.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
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.
