Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. River City Saga: Journey to the West is the latest in a consistent flood of beat-em-ups in recent memory, likely sprung from the success of the well-regarded River City Girls series, a fresh, complex brawler with plucky protagonists, and a well-developed soundtrack. This game, however, is a roguelike,... Read more...
Mike Huguenor (guitarist from Jeff Rosenstock) spent the last year making a Game Boy game that turns being a touring musician into a retro-tinged narrative adventure. In the same week that Mike Huguenor announced his debut video game, he played guitar with Jeff Rosenstock for the band’s nine-show residency in Chicago, spending his only off night going to an area book store to discuss his new book…
The millennials yearn for the return of Pal Park, and other observations on the February 25 shutdown. Pokemon is about to go through Dexit IV, and this one feels more like a Phantom Menace than a Rocky. The first Dexit occurred in 2002 when Ruby and Sapphire overhauled Pokemon’s kludgy internal stat system to allow for female Pokemon to have the highest possible attack (among other changes)...…
Sometimes the last minute grenade is actually a stink bomb, but this week it was a celebratory firework. Things were looking bleak for the eShops this week when this process began on Saturday, where it looked for all the world that the main releases were another Aksys / Idea Factory collab (Over RequiemZ - and yes, it is set in Oz) and the threatened DayZ Switch 2 release. Hekke grace, we ended up…

Owners of the original Switch version will be able to upgrade for no cost. The Switch 2 version promises... Read more...
I'm going to N-F-see-my way into your bank account. It is a rare treat when I get to introduce one of my co-hosts to one of the stranger stories in the gaming industry. This is particularly true if the subject involves strange use of tech and the audience is Jon. Jon had never heard of Monster Rancher. This is completely understandable, it's a... Read more...

Roughly 1.3m Dittos spawned per month. Pokemon Pokopia is building quite the userbase. Nintendo has confirmed that the March 5-launched Switch 2 exclusive has now sold more than 5m copies worldwide since launch. The total combines physical (Game Key Card) and digital sales and is sold to consumers, as opposed to shipments. In the... Read more...
Time to arrange for things to get stored. Pokemon Home is getting some much requested updates in the fall and an unfortunate update in the winter. The Pokemon Company has confirmed a major update for October that will enable access to the Switch versions of Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green, with a reward for a full Pokedex of Celebi in...

If Kingdom Hearts were coherent. Duskfade is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be and wastes no time in absolutely nailing it. With gameplay and artistic inspiration pulled from PlayStation 2 action platformers like Kingdom Hearts and Jak and Daxter, Duskfade often feels like a game from another time. If it weren’t for the surprisingly accomplished visuals there would be…
Prettier but just as janky as you remember. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is one of those games that, by its very nature, needs some context when it comes to modern discussion. Oblivion as it released in 2006 was an ambitious monstrosity that seemed held together by duct tape and was constantly at risk of coming apart at the seams. To some... Read more...
