News by Matt S. The first Prinny Presents NIS Classics just landed on our Nintendo Switches a week ago, and we rather liked it, so, sure, we’ll have more where that came from! NISA has announced Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2, and just like the first, this mini-collection features…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Moonshades is… fine. It was originally a dungeon crawler released onto mobile, where it earned a not small number of fans for being a particularly earnest effort at recapturing the most old school of old school dungeon crawlers. Now it has been ported to the Nintendo…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. Ever-prolific publisher, NISA, is at it again, having announced two games this week. We’re getting a new horror game with a deeply Japanese aesthetic as well as a new roguelike. The horror game is called Shadow Corridor, and it sounds like it might be a bit…
