SEGA has announced Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is now in development for Nintendo Switch. The title likely launches in 2025, but exact timing is not yet confirmed.
This one is obviously a racer, but beyond that, SEGA is keeping absolutely quiet. Only a short teaser was just shared at The Game Awards. Coming in at less than thirty seconds, we only see Shadow the Hedgehog taking off in a kart.

System: Switch
Release date: December 5, 2024
Developer: Mistwalker
Publisher: Square Enix
After talk of retiring with the original release of Fantasian on Apple Arcade in 2021, Hironobu Sakaguchi, previously of Square Enix’s golden age of RPGs, has decided that he’s not quite ready to stop doing what he loves. As a joint project between his studio, Mistwalker, and Square Enix, Sakaguchi’s latest effort brings us Fantasian Neo Dimension – an enhanced full release of the RPG. While the game was already seeing acclaim on mobile, this new version takes it to new platforms with improved features, making the experience more accessible than ever. If you’ve been curious about Fantasian but had no avenue to play it due to its Apple Arcade prison sentence, now’s your chance to finally dive into this unique RPG.

The 10 best Legend of Zelda games, ranked
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best Legend of Zelda games of all time. More specifically, we’ve made a list of the 10 best entries the series has seen to date.
With most big name Nintendo franchises, it’s fairly easy to see which game is most popular among fans – not necessarily the best, but the most popular. For example, many Mario fans will tell you Super Mario Galaxy is their favorite entry – that doesn’t mean it’s the objective best, per se, but it does mean it’s probably the most popular. Pokemon fans at this point in time will probably tell you that Black and White or HeartGold and SoulSilver are their favorites. But things are more complicated for the Legend of Zelda series. Breath of the Wild, while a fantastically successful game, did sort of split the hardcore fanbase in two: those who prefer the new open-world gameplay style, and those who prefer Zelda’s more linear outings. In other words, it’s virtually impossible to put together an objective “best Zelda games of all time” list. But it doesn’t mean we can’t try!
So here’s our 10 favorite Zelda games in order, and along the way, we’d like to ask you to let us know what your own personal top 10 Zelda games are in the comments down below. There are no wrong answers! Before we continue, do be advised that we’ll be discussing spoilers for many Zelda games. Make sure you’re okay with that before you continue.

2K and Firaxis Games have debuted the Civilization VII opening cinematic at The Game Awards 2024. The video is voiced-over by narrator Gwendoline Christie.
Additionally, the main theme for Civilization VII, “Live Gloriously,” was revealed today. Composer Christopher Tin said: “With ‘Live Gloriously,’ I wanted to capture universal themes of hope, heroism and mortality that have resonated across history. You’ll hear words from The Iliad, Beowulf, Popol Vuh and Ramayana, delivering a beautiful sense of gravity and emotion that embodies the story of humanity.”
