Game collections are all the rage these days, and are becoming increasingly something that goes beyond just the game. Retro collections aim to be museums as much as things you play, with Digital Eclipse in particular mastering the “interactive museum” format. Riki 8Bit Game Collection isn’t really a “retro collection,”…
Idea Factory International is bringing otome visual novel Battlefield Waltz to the…

“It’s more of the same!” You just know that this is going to be the main comment (and complaint) about Octopath Traveler II. “It’s too much like the first.” Except it’s not. Of course it’s not. Octopath Traveler was a narrative-driven game that focused on the stories of eight distinct…

It seems as though Nintendo Switch is the best console to get FMV games; most launch on PC as well, but not all of them make it to other platforms. From classic to contemporary, there’s a lot to choose from. And here’s another one! Deathtrap Dungeon: The Interactive Video Adventure…

WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros isn’t quite what I was hoping for out of Konami. For the longest time, I have hoped against hope that the company would start localising its excellent baseball games again. I wasn’t fussed which! Either the serious simulations or the eBaseball bobbleheads arcade titles would have…

Today’s Nintendo Direct was, by any measure, an impressive one. Nintendo announced a boatload of new games (many of them big-time exciting), and also finally brought the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance to its retro libraries for subscribers. It is the most obscure of these games, and possibly the…

It’s not really February until there’s a Nintendo Direct, is it? The last one that lasted 45 minutes was in September 2022, but honestly this one is way better. Yes, there’s news of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins coming to Switch, but there’s also that Zelda release date…
