It’s been three years since the last Fire Emblem (Engage). In a world of annualised franchises, that’s almost quaint, given how commercially successful the series is for Nintendo, but I’m very glad that Intelligent Systems is given the time to explore what it can achieve with its property. Fortune’s Weave…
The Touhou Project continues to be one of the most interesting experiments…
We finally have the version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that Monolith Software…
I come bearing good news and bad news. The good? RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon will be launching for Switch 2 alongside its previously announced PC and console versions. The bad? The game’s release window was originally set for this (Northern) fall, but that has now…

It’s incredible to think that Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is 13 years old at this point. It feels like it was just yesterday that it was turning heads as a new spin on the JRPG genre and a brilliant homage to Final Fantasy in particular (Flying Fairy as the subtitle…
