Month: October 2025

“The porting process to the Switch 2 turned out to be unexpectedly smooth”. I’ve been dreaming of a Persona 3 Reload port for Nintendo’s hybrid hardware long before the Switch 2 was even revealed. Having played through its lengthy campaign on my Xbox over the span of a month, I wished I was able to…

Virtual dreams. It’s time to talk trademarks again, as Nintendo of America has had a new filing for ‘Virtual Console’ bumped up to the pending phase. But let’s be clear right from the jump, it probably doesn’t mean what you’re thinking. As brought to our attention by @MikeOdysseyYT on X, the trademark was initially submitted…

Z-A++? The latest Pokémon adventure has landed on the Switch and Switch, letting players roam about a much-expanded rendition of Lumiose City from X & Y. Pokémon Legends: Z-A has received some fairly mixed reception so far, though it seems most are in agreement that although it might not be the prettiest game ever made…

Never released in the US of A! “Among the finest action role-playing titles ever crafted, possibly even the finest, and a game that absolutely no RPG fan should miss.” This quote, from our 2009 review of the 1995 action-RPG, Terranigma, should give you some idea of just how highly we regard the third slice of…

They’re very good, y’know? Absolum and BALL x PIT recently launched on the Nintendo Switch, and they’re both bloody brilliant. They’re very different games, mind you, with the former being a self-described ‘rogue ’em up’, blending roguelike mechanics with classic beat ’em up action, and the latter being a very deliberate cross between Vampire Survivors…

All aboard the Ecliptic Express. Rumours regarding a potential remake of Resident Evil 0 have been simmering for a little while now, but a new report from mp1st (thanks, Pure Xbox) has added further fuel to the fire. The remake is supposedly real and currently operating under the codename ‘Chamber’, which is presumably a blatant…

It’s no screenshot button, mind. Nintendo Today! has scored a tiny update, pushing the app up to ver. 2.0.10 with the addition of a brand new share button. Yep, a share button. It’s hardly the most groundbreaking fresh feature, but considering how the company previously removed the ability to take in-app screenshots or nab screen…

Can you see it now? Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo has received a small software update; it’s first since March 2025. When we say small, we really mean it. There are only two notes for this one, the latter of which provides that which we all desire in our Nintendo products: stability. Good ol’ fashioned stability….

New figures incoming. Nintendo has announced that the first in-game event for the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC will kick off next week. The ‘Chip Fever’ event (as translated from Nintendo’s Japanese website via Google, so the name may be different in the West) will get underway on Tuesday 28th October,…

Launch sales 40% lower than Arceus. The latest UK Charts data is in and, as expected, Pokémon Legends Z-A has comfortably taken the top spot this week following its release on 16th October 2025. Boxed sales were almost equal for the first week, with the Switch 2 Edition bagging 51% of the split, and the…
