The recent announcement of Dotemu and Tribute Games' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is another addition to the awesome wave of new-yet-kinda-old beat-em-ups we've been seeing since 2019's River City Girls.

With a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat-em-up title coming from DotEmu and Tribute Games, as well as a collection featuring the best TMNT titles made by Konami back in the 90s, it seems like Turtle Power may be making a comeback of sorts in 2022.

Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Half 2D action game, half god simulator Let's just get this out of the way: on first impression, the 2021 remake of the SNES action game-slash-god-simulator hybrid Actraiser is not a heavenly sight. The pre-rendered graphics just make the look really garish and ugly to look at, with ...

The Super Mario titles from Nintendo are arguably the most influential and iconic games around. Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably lying through their teeth. Without the mind of Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto at the helm of these mothership games, there wouldn't be a Nintendo at all in the late 80s and the 90s. In fact, Nintendo and ...

It looks like Square Enix has filed a trademark for the 1994 Super Famicom game Live A Live on 2 July 2020. For those unfamiliar, Live A Live is a time-travelling JRPG that was directed by Takashi Tokita, the man who would go on to direct the ultimately more iconic and popular also time-travelling JRPG, Chrono Trigger. You could say that Live A Li...
Few games out there have a cultural footprint as significant as Final Fantasy.

According to Nintendo's legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, he talks about why his stance towards the Mario movie changed since the 1...
Our resident RPG guru Mr Toffee was disappointed with The Secret of Mana remake last year. It felt very cheaply-made, the added dialogue and story bits did not help elevate the source material, and it somehow made the 1992 original game superior. Based on what we've seen at E3 2019's Treehouse live stream, Square Enix is making amends with the tru...
It's good to see a game like Chrono Trigger getting more acclaim and praise 24 years later.

This was followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and NieR: Automata at 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The poll had 7,158 readers par...
