This gothic-horror-themed game is looking…
Four million copies sold is an impressive milestone for any game, so congratulations are in order to Koei Tecmo’s teams for Age of Calamity hitting that benchmark. That number is 300,000 up from the last time we reported on the figures back in April. As I mentioned in that article, Age of Calamity is already…
A few years back, a game came out that forever changed how I look at the concept of exploration in video games. That was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A couple of years later came a game that took that feeling of discovery and turned it into a game mechanic. That game…
Online store BlackMilk has recently announced “a new adventure” in teaming up with Nintendo to create a Legend of Zelda-themed set of outfits.

If you order the upcoming Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda from Nintendo UK’s online store, it comes with a free gift of a similarly themed microfiber cloth. (It’s spelled “microfibre” in the U.K., which my spellchecker says is wrong. Sorry, U.K.!) The cloth sports an image of the Game & Watch device you’ll…
It’s been well over a decade since we’ve had a full-on, brand new WarioWare title. So WarioWare: Get It Together! was a welcomed return to a favored Nintendo series. But like with any of these games, it has its own unique set of hooks to help differentiate it. For the most part, this all lands…
New Skyward Sword-themed merchandise has dropped into Nintendo’s New York store according to an official tweet from the store’s social media account. Featuring a fancy new hoodie, two new t-shirts, a mug, and two pillows, there’s some pretty quality merchandise here. I’m personally a huge fan of the black t-shirt with Link, and that hoodie…
Speedrunning Ocarina of Time is nothing new. Different percentages, tricks, requirements; it feels like every single thing in that game has been run through quite hastily. Yet there always seems to be one more thing, and this time it’s beating the Super Smash Bros. Brawl demo of Ocarina of Time in a record-setting score. First,…
