compilation/Nintendo Switch/Retro/Reviews/Sega/SEGA Genesis Classics/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. In the long run, Nintendo’s decision to bottleneck the Switch’s Virtual Console to three or four NES games per month did have its benefits. While the Wii and 3DS leveraged third-party Virtual Console titles to bridge gaps between first party releases, the Nintendo Switch has the…

Review by Matt S. The only right way to play Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is to play them together. Individually they’re a little limited, but taken together they’re a marvellous celebration of the incredible music that has powered so much of the tone…

Review by Matt S. With the death of THQ, many of us who were fans of the original Darksiders and its sequel assumed that it would be the last that we saw of the series. Then Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) grabbed the license for itself, formed up a new…

Opinion by Matt S. It’s a little over a week until Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lands on people’s Nintendo Switches, and, inevitably for such a high profile title, that means some people have already got the game. There’s always one retailer or another that sees a commercial opportunity in releasing…
