Super Smash Bros. Still Can’t Get Online Right [UPDATE]

Ten years after Nintendo released its first online Smash game, it still hasn’t gotten the online experience right.

Some Smash Ultimate Fighters Get Hurt Just By Trying To Swim

Starting with Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, if characters fell into bodies of water on certain stages, they had a few seconds to swim out before drowning.

Ashen Is A Dreamier Dark Souls

The Internet Reacts To The Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Poster

The poster for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog movie had been released, and I just wanna say, “LMAO what the fuck?” What’s up with Sonic’s jacked, humanoid legs? What’s up with his strangely delicate fingers? Why does he look like he’s posing nude? This poster has certainly piqued my curiosity, along with the rest of…

The State Of Nintendo 3DS In 2018

At this time last year, I predicted that the aging Nintendo 3DS would probably be sent to its grave after Christmas 2018. Recent events have caused me to reconsider. I am now here to argue that you should prepare for the Nintendo 3DS to stay alive for a couple more years at least—if you can…

Instagram Manners And Tokyo Disneyland

Japanese Smash Bros. Players Show Palutena Doesn’t Get Underwear Privacy 

Back when Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was launched, players quickly pointed out that the inside of Princess Peach’s skirt was cloaked in darkness.

Eight Years Later, Ni No Kuni’s DS Version Is Now Playable In English

While Ni No Kuni was first released in the PS3 in 2011, it’s easy to forget that there was also an entirely different DS version of the game that was released in 2010. Mostly because that game was only ever available in Japan. Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn featured mostly the same…
