More of the worst Shiny Pokemon of all time
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, GBA, Switch | 0 comments
A few months back, we covered some of the worst Shiny Pokemon of all time. Most of the time, they’re considered poor because they’re barely different from the original. But we only listed about 20 Shiny Pokemon there, and today we’ve got a fresh batch of even more horrible Shiny Pokemon. This is a subjective list, of course, but we’ll try to keep it as objective as possible – especially in cases where the Shiny form looks almost identical to the original.

The Mario Kart World Direct is almost here, and for those looking to tune in, we’ve got a dedicated post for the live stream. Look for the broadcast to kick off at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe. The event will be about 15 minutes long.
We were given a pretty good look at the game during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and Treehouse: Live just a couple of weeks ago, but Nintendo clearly has more to say. If there’s anything significant, we’ll pass it along on the main site. Nintendo should also provide us with an official recap announcement after the event which we’ll share as well.

Lunar Remastered Collection review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 18, 2025
Developer: Ashibi / Game Arts
Publisher: GungHo
There’s a kind of magic that only summer can hold – long days, the hum of cicadas, and for me, the unmistakable excitement of borrowing a PlayStation game from a new RPG-obsessed friend I’d met at summer day camp (shout out to Nik from the YMCA Day Camp program, you were legit.) I was twelve, sunburned, full of cheap cookies, sugary artificially flavored red drink, and a sense of adventure. The game was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I didn’t know it then, but that disc would become one of the most formative RPG experiences of my awkward little middle school life.

A new month started up not too long ago. Now that we’re in April, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Are you still exploring the world of Mira in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition? What about other recent games like SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered and Rift of the NecroDancer? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.
Switch 2 Nintendo Switch Online GameCube game predictions
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over a bunch of popular GameCube games and how likely they are to come to Nintendo Switch Online on Nintendo Switch 2.
In somewhat of a surprise move, Nintendo recently announced that titles from that console are coming to Switch Online + Expansion Pack members exclusively on Switch 2. The reason this is surprising is that GameCube games on the service sort of run counter to Nintendo’s strategy with GameCube games on the current Switch. Up until now, Nintendo has been content to release individually-packaged GameCube games as standalone titles – or remake them altogether. Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are all playable on Nintendo Switch already. That may knock out quite a few titles from Nintendo Switch Online, though it’s technically still possible that they could get a release later.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month 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.

Why Donkey Kong ’94 is one of Nintendo’s hidden gems
Posted on 1 month 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!

The big moment is almost upon us with Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 beginning in just one hour. Fans can tune in starting at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe. The event should be going on for about an hour.
Nintendo has actually said very little about today’s presentation. However, what you can expect is a huge blowout of Nintendo Switch 2, including various game announcements. Nintendo should also be explaining what new this time, and we’d be surprised if we didn’t get a release date.
Fruitbus preview: a comedy food truck adventure I didn’t know I wanted
Posted on 1 month ago by Nicholas Serpa in Switch | 0 comments
As much as I enjoy cooking in real life, cooking in video games often is either so simple (i.e. combining ingredients in a menu) or so complex (i.e. Cooking Simulator) that it can struggle to truly feel fun. Maybe that’s why it was so easy for me to fall in love with Fruitbus, an upcoming first person adventure game that tasks the player with running a food truck business in a playful world. I had a blast demoing the game, and I can’t wait to spend more time exploring the game’s tropical paradise, hunting for exotic ingredients, and cooking up a storm for the locals.
