Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 19 hours 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.

Analyzing the Year of Luigi and how Nintendo could do it better
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Wii U | 0 comments
It’s no secret that Luigi is one of the most beloved characters in the Mario franchise. Mario is well-liked, too, but lots of Super Mario fans like Luigi better thanks to his deeper personality and his whole “living in his brother’s shadow” trait he has going on. To celebrate this, Nintendo hosted a special event all throughout 2013 called the Year of Luigi. The idea was that Nintendo would release games and merch featuring Luigi more so in 2013 than ever before, all to commemorate everyone’s favorite green-capped plumber.
That being said, while the Year of Luigi is an interesting part of Nintendo’s history, it wasn’t a runaway success. Today, we’re analyzing everything Nintendo released as part of the Year of Luigi, plus how they could do it better if they ever dedicate an upcoming year to a specific character (which, for the record, seems a bit unlikely).
The best Nintendo Switch DLCs, ranked
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
As the Nintendo Switch’s long eight-year life span comes to a close, we’re taking the time to rank five of its very best DLC expansions. Nintendo released quite a few big DLC packs, which added tons of life and longevity to their respective titles. Most of these are fine additions, but some of them distinctly stand out among the rest as incredible additions to their respective base games.
[Let’s Talk] Pokemon Presents 2025 reactions
Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Pokemon Day 2025 has come and gone, and with it, the latest Pokemon Presents broadcast. As usual, fans were treated to the latest news about the franchise.
We’ll focus on two of the biggest things here. First, Pokemon Legends: Z-A was properly unveiled following last year’s announcement, complete with gameplay and detailed information. Pokemon Champions was announced, which will be coming to Nintendo Switch (and mobile) at some point in the future. While these were the bigger items, updates on a variety of other topics were shared. You can get the full recap here.
Now that we’re a few days removed from Pokemon Presents, what did you think of it? How are you feeling about Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Pokemon Champions? Let us know in the comments.

A brief history of the Wii U’s most forgotten feature
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Wii U | 0 comments
Today, we’re talking about an incredibly niche feature that some of you may have never even heard about. It’s the Wii U’s most forgotten feature – and it isn’t Miiverse. Whereas Miiverse had lots of charm and character, the feature we’re talking about isn’t one we think anybody particularly misses. It’s Nintendo TVii, a rather obscure service that you might have noticed on your Wii U menu before it was eventually removed in 2015.

The best Animal Crossing games, ranked
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
Compared to other easily-ranked Nintendo franchises, Animal Crossing is a bit different. At the time of writing, there are only a handful of main series Animal Crossing games and even fewer spin-offs. Most of them are incredibly high quality and well-received by fans, with only a small number of exceptions. There also aren’t quite as many games in the Animal Crossing series compared to some of Nintendo’s other juggernauts – these games take a long time to develop, and we suspect it’ll be a while before we see a new Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch 2.
In the meantime, we’ve made our own subjective list of the best Animal Crossing games, ranked from worst to best. Do note that we’re not including Animal Crossing Plaza (which really had very little to it) or Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp; the former is defunct and we’re focused more on Nintendo platform games for this ranking. Here’s what we came up with.

[Let’s Talk] Name a random game on a Nintendo platform
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
The other day, I was thinking about Spyborgs. The first question some of you may have is: what the heck is that? And some of you might be wondering why.
I can’t tell you why I was thinking about Spyborgs, as it randomly popped into my head. But as for what it is, Capcom originally released it exclusively on Wii in 2009. Bionic Games made the game and would end up shutting down not too long after.
Back during the Wii era, before Spyborgs launched, it was a bit of a big deal within the Nintendo community. The console wasn’t exactly getting a ton of hardcore titles, and especially with Capcom publishing, the game was receiving a good amount of attention. The whole thing kind of turned out strangely – the project ended up going through a shift, moving away from a cartoony look and towards a more mature style. Ultimately that didn’t matter as the game came out to not much fanfare.
Especially in the Nintendo sphere, games like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid come to mind. But have you recently been thinking about a random game, one that hasn’t ever really been in the spotlight? Let us know in the comments.
Two years later, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a fantastic remake
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Believe it or not, it’s been an entire two years since the last Kirby game. Nintendo has forgotten about Kirby. Jokes aside, the pink puffball had an incredibly productive 2022. Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the first true 3D platformer in the series, was released to critical acclaim. Later that year, we got the less-critically-acclaimed Kirby’s Dream Buffet, and then only a couple months later we get Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. That’s a huge number of Kirby games in less than a year, though they were all clearly created by different development teams. Whereas Kirby and the Forgotten was a huge step in a new direction for the series, Return to Dream Land Deluxe didn’t need to be. We know there will be another 3D Kirby game in the hopefully not-too-distant future, and Return to Dream Land Deluxe served as a return to the franchise’s roots for those introduced to Kirby via Forgotten Land. Indeed, Kirby and the Forgotten Land sits on top as the best-selling Kirby game in the franchise at around seven million units sold.
Pokemon Day 2025 predictions
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
With Pokemon Day 2025 approaching, we’ve got some predictions for the big event.
Pokemon Day just around the corner, and every time February 27 comes around there’s always a Pokemon Presents to go with it. Last year’s presentation revealed the existence of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, details on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Raid events, and updates on The Pokemon Company’s other ongoing games. While the 2025 Pokemon Presents will probably be more of that (minus Scarlet and Violet, most likely), it’s a good time to toss out some predictions before the Pokemon hype cycle begins.
