Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has received a lot of attention for bringing back a lot of retro titles including some that many thought were unlikely to return anytime soon, but that could be just the start. Producer Shuhei Matsumoto has indicated that the company hopes to do more in the future.
In a recent interview, Matsumoto stated that Capcom wants all of its classic fighting games on modern consoles. That tidbit comes as part of an interview with IGN.

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.
March 25: To celebration the second anniversary of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, it’s been revealed that a new soundtrack album for the game will be released – at least in Japan. It’s arriving on September 13, 2024.

Today, we’re going over the history of the “free update” business model of certain first-party games released for Switch.
Free updates and DLC weren’t quite as common for Nintendo games back in the Wii U and 3DS era. Company culture changes aside, one possible reason for this is that those consoles could only store so much extra data and updates for their games (with Super Smash Bros. pushing the limits of this restriction). Needless to say, things have sort of changed during the Switch era. Free updates have gone from a nice bonus to… something else, we’ll say. Here are some of the most prominent examples of Switch games that relied on a free update content cycle, and what these updates added to each game.
Following our recent list of the best Shiny Pokemon of all time, we’ve put together a list of the absolute worst Shiny Pokemon of all time. When you look at a big list of every Shiny Pokemon, you’ll notice that there are many more average or poor ones than good ones. This is especially prevalent in some of the earlier generations. It’s rumored that Shiny Pokemon colors were originally determined via an algorithm, but we couldn’t actually find any confirmation of this – maybe the developers just got better at picking colors as the years went by. In any case, we’ve looked through every single Shiny Pokemon and included some of the very worst ones here.
A good chunk of gameplay is here for Cilla following its Switch debut. 19 minutes of footage is available for the 2D side-scrolling shooter.
You can find more details about it in the following overview:
Turmoil, the oil-drilling game from Gamious, will soon be receiving DLC known as Deeper Underground. The DLC will initially hit PC on September 12, but consoles – including Switch – will be getting it down the road as well.
Deeper Underground has the game entering the Roaring Twenties. A brand new campaign is included along with lots of newfangled mechanics, upgrades, new playable characters and NPCs. There’ll also be all-new areas and levels.
