After the commercial success of Paper Mario: The Origami King (2019), which has since become the second best-selling game in the franchise (following closely behind Super Paper Mario), the Nintendo Switch is now seeing the release of another Paper Mario game, and it’s one you might already be familiar with. Despite selling less than two…

Starting with the original Paper Mario (2000) on the N64, the quirky, turn-based RPG spin-off series has gotten an exclusive entry on every mainline Nintendo console since. Despite the fact that every Paper Mario game that has been released so far (including the controversial Sticker Star) received generally positive reviews from critics, none have come…

Wave 1 of the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass launched over a year ago, adding Inkopolis Plaza from the original Splatoon as an additional hub area that you can travel to, shop at, and experience Splatfests from. While the first wave was neat for a bit of harmless Wii U nostalgia, for most Switch owners, there…

If you’re unfamiliar with the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, it’s strongly recommended that you read our previously published preview of the game before continuing on with this review, as it includes additional gameplay details.

WarioWare: Get it Together! went in a unique direction for the series when it was released back in 2021, so it came as a nice surprise when Nintendo and Intelligent Systems announced that the Switch would be getting a second WarioWare game that follows a more familiar gameplay format. WarioWare: Smooth Moves (2007) helped to…

The classic 2D Super Mario Bros. games hold a very special place in my heart. Over the years, I have beaten almost every game in the series (with the exception of the infamously difficult SMB: The Lost Levels), and even still to this day, I go back and revisit the NES original from time to…

[ad_1] Detective Pikachu has certainly had a strange history. Starting with a Japan-exclusive 3DS demo “Birth of a New Duo” in February 2016, the unprecedented Pokémon spin-off, starring a wise-cracking, crime-solving, caffeine-addicted Pikachu, didn’t get a proper worldwide release until over two years later.

[ad_1] The style of the ‘New’ Super Mario Bros. games has been the standard for classic 2D Mario for almost 20 years now. Back on the Nintendo DS and Wii, it felt fresh and exciting, but as time has gone on, the series has gotten, admittedly, more and more stale. New Super Mario Bros. U…
