Croc: Legend of the Gobbos review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
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.

We’ll always point this out as a reminder, but Nintendo Switch is a region free console. That means despite this being a Japanese-only release, you can play through the whole thing on your system regardless of region.

Why Donkey Kong ’94 is one of Nintendo’s hidden gems
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Just a few weeks back, Nintendo added Donkey Kong to the Game Boy division of Nintendo Switch Online for the first time. It was previously available on the 3DS’ Virtual Console back in 2011, and it’s taken well over ten years for us to see the game again. Every time Nintendo has released or re-released Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, it’s pretty much flown under the radar despite including some of their most iconic characters. So today, we’re taking a look at what makes this game so fun even in the modern day. It’s aged very well!
