And to think, that's not the weirdest racing game Expansion Pack holders got this year.

Two additional F-Zero games will be taking the green flag next week.

A late night announcement from NoA has confirmed the launch of F-Zero: GP Legend and F-Zero Climax into the Game Boy Advance library for Expansion Pack subscribers officially on October 11. For F-Zero Climax, this is the first international release of the game.

If the site's been inconsistent in recent weeks, it's straining to hold up under a game database that has more than 10,000 games on Switch alone.

Things we missed last week: Namco's Blast Off in the Archives, Ubisoft attempted to make up for delaying the new Assassin's Creed by, uh, launching another Monopoly game, and the bastard children of Midjourney and ChatGPT swarmed the eShop to the tune of SEVENTY FOUR GAMES (though I use that term incredibly loosely in most of the cases) released in the week overall in North America.

They claimed it was for the children, but by the time half this stuff launches there'll be an entirely new set of children.

Level-5 held a pre-Tokyo Game Show presentation this morning, tastefully called "For The Children", and announced a new game alongside providing updates for some existing projects.

Good idea: Bring two classic Legacy of Kain games to modern consoles. Bad idea: Have Aspyr bring two classic Legacy of Kain games to modern consoles.

The RPG news from Sony's State of Play wasn't just limited to the Lunar games, nor was the Switch-related news.

The Sega CD wasn't exactly known as a RPG haven, but two of its examples are coming to a Nintendo console for the first time ever in 2025.

During Sony's State of Play presentation today, a collection of remastered versions of the original two Lunar RPGs - The Silver Star (1992/93) and Eternal Blue... Read more...

We may no longer have to make the choice between "original Zelda Switch game" and "good Zelda Switch game".

Things we missed last week: A new Touhou RPG (Touhou Gensou Wanderer -Foresight-) and Taito's Crime City in the Archives.

I would make a transition from crime here, but this would be the one week anyone else reads the article, so I'll just say that we have an original Legend of Zelda game this... Read more...

Looks like the Chillet skating music will be silenced.

Nintendo is lawyering up against infringment for the second time this year, but this time going after a specific game.

A release on the company's investor site earlier this evening has confirmed that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have filed a patent infringement suit in Tokyo court against PocketPair, the creators of PalWorld. The specific patents are not identified, but "multiple patent rights" are alleged.

The adventures of Bimmy, Jimmy, Rush, Zits, and Pimple await.

The Super Nintendo library has received a few Super Famicom titles and a crossover brawler in a new update tonight.

This member of the Edmonton Panopticon is EXTREMELY confused right now.

There may be hope for Oreshika and Soul Sacrifice Delta, as one of the last first party titles for the PlayStation Vita is about to be remanded to some more prisons.

2014 action RPG Freedom Wars will receive a remastered version on January 10, according to a new trailer posted by Bandai Namco. Bamco will publish the Dimps-developed title, while Dimps has obtained the rights to the property according to director Takashi Tsukamoto.

You can get bundles with any pack-in you want, as long as it's Mario Kart.

Nintendo is seemingly the only console maker not raising prices this year and is in fact offering a form of discount.

The company today announced that their traditional holiday bundle will be available again, with a standard Switch, a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe download code, and a 12 month NIntendo Switch Online code for US$299.99 (ie: MSRP). For the first time, the same additions will be made to the Switch OLED, at its MSRP of $349.99.

A cute platformer, the most openly gay RPG in platform history and a train game walk into a tire fire...

Things we missed last week: In a blissfully small week for shadowdrops (+6 in NA), Vs. Battle City was the Archives release.

This is another very top heavy week, though not in the "not for good boys or girls" sense. The original big release of the week was The Plucky Squire, the first product of... Read more...

Still awaiting word on a Rockapella soundtrack or a speedrun challenge in Africa.

In 2025, Switch owners will get to sneak around the world from Kiev to Carolina.

Nintendo of America's YouTube channel has uploaded a trailer for a new adventure game based on the Carmen Sandiego franchise, scheduled for launch next year. Although the series has existed since the 1980s, this game will mark the first time the titular thief is a playable character; the game is based on a 2018 - 21 Netflix animated series.

You could buy everything releasing this week, or you could stick to Marvel vs Capcom and buy a used car to take yourself for a ride.

Things we missed last week: Apart from the Archives release (Lead Angle aka Dead Angle) was the annual Switch-and-everything-else launch of SGA's Shut Up And Shoot Threes 25... or as it's better know, NBA 2k25.

I had plans this past weekend. I was going to pick up some extra large candy for a certain... Read more...

One of the departing execs had a 35 year run at NoE.

On this North American Labo(u)r Day, there are some changes in both Europe and Japan to report.

In Europe, longtime Nintendo employee Stephan Bole - who replaced Satoru Shibata as NoE President in 2018 - is retiring after 35 years with Nintendo. His replacement will be Luciano Pereña, whose three... Read more...

I trust there'll be no objections to this week's main event.

Things we missed last week: The combination Partner Showcase / Indie World dropped six games - though one of them was only shown in Japan - with Pizza Tower, Peglin, and Pico Park 2 in the Indie World portion and the Castlevania DominuS Collection, Goat Simulator 3, and "that ****ing Kairosoft Doraemon...

Passes? We don't need no stinking passes.

The Switch's worst kept secret is now official: Guilty Gear -Strive- is coming.

Arc System Works released a trailer today confirming the 2d fighter will release on Switch January 23. Online play and several training modes, plus character specific story modes, will be included in the package; there was no mention of the online being cross-platform in the trailer.

No official announcement yet from ArcSys, but it might be possible to get your Sol Badguy fix on the go soon.

A major player in the fighting arena might be coming to Switch, if a banner reportedly hanging in Seattle is any indication.

A picture has been posted on Reddit sourced to a deleted post on the former Twitter showing what appears to be a banner hanging in the Seattle Convention Center. The banner, located outside the Atrium Lobby, is advertising a Switch port of 2021's Guilty Gear -Strive- with an invitation to preorder.

Buck Bumble when?

Legendary developer Argonaut Games is making a surprise return after twenty years. The studio has today officially announced their first project as a remaster of their classic 3D platformer, Croc: Legend of Gobbos.

No platforms have been announced thus far beyond a blanket PC and consoles.

Though given the last release, this might as well be the debut of the series.

The "one more thing" for the Partner Showcase/Indie World doubleheader was something surely nobody expected.

Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of the original PlayStation 2 open world brawler originally released in 2016 for PS3 in Japan only and 2017 worldwide for PS4, will release on Switch on October 24. Although an earlier game exists chronologically (Yakuza Zero), this is the first going by release order.
