News by Clark A.Despite being one of Nintendo’s oldest and most beloved franchises, Metroid’s modest sales figures mean that it isn’t always the company’s top priority. As a result, it has sometimes gone up to eight years without a new game. Last year’s Metroid Prime: Federation Force broke a six…

News by Matt S. We really, really love Shantae here at DDNet. It’s not just that she the cutest platformer character ever created and comes complete with harem costume.

News by Matt S. Another little E3 gem trailer that wasn’t part of any of the stage shows, but has managed to catch our attention, is Maximum Games’ Extinction. If you were to imagine Attack on Titan, replacing the titans with orcs, you’d basically be on track for what Extinction…

E3/E3 2017/game announcement/Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle/News/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/trailer/Trailers/Ubisoft

News by Clark A. In an alternate universe, Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle was first revealed in Nintendo’s E3 presentation tomorrow.
