There has been little news posted to DDNet this week, thanks to me being more sick than I have been in years, but I have risen from my half-dead state because this news is just too important to miss. Today, Nintendo released a first-look trailer for its Nintendo Switch successor, the creatively named Nintendo Switch 2. Information is still relatively…

Read MorePrincess Peach must be a difficult character to work with now. Originally she was the archetypal damsel in distress, which made for a convenient single-line narrative to power Super Mario Bros., but that trope hasn’t done so well over time. Where Princess Zelda has been relatively easy to empower without…
Read MoreIdea Factory and Otomate have brought us some incredible flights of fantasy over the years. There are the historical dramas, allowing us to hang out with and romance the Shinsengumi or Beinke.

Read MoreUnfortunately, because I was away last week, I didn’t get a chance to review Another Code: Recollection in time for the embargo lifting. It’s unfortunate not because I missed out on the initial rush of clicks when being one of the first to review a game of a decent profile.…

Read MoreSuper Mario RPG is an all-time classic. Ask people to list the top 20 SNES games of all time and you’re almost certain to see this one in the mix somewhere. A quirky collaboration between Nintendo and Square Enix to apply some light Final Fantasy qualities to the iconic plumber,…
Read MoreIt is interesting to compare the recently-released remake of Star Ocean The Second Story R with the upcoming Super Mario RPG remake.
