News by Matt S. Finally. FINALLY! The best Nintendo Switch game of all, Hatsune Miku Project Diva Mega Mix, has its release date for western markets… and you’ll be playing it sooner than you may have expected. The game releases on May 15, having released earlier in the year in…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. You may have noticed that SEGA has slowly by steadily been increasing the range of its SEGA Ages series on Nintendo Switch – console specific ports of very high quality developed by retro specialists M2. The next one in the series will land on April 30,…
