Video Fans Create Stunning Trailer For The Banjo-Kazooie Sequel We Never Got
Oh my guh-huh!
For many N64 owners back in the day, Rare was at the top of the game.

Fans were desperate for what they dubbed 'Banjo-Threeie', and that desire still lingers today. Before we...
Video Do You Own A Video Game So Rare That You Can Never Actually Play It?
Poor, neglected souls
There's something quite satisfying about owning a particularly rare video game, isn't there? Not so much in the sense that you can brag to your friends about owning something they couldn't possibly hope to get their hands on; no, that's quite insufferable, if you ask us. Rather, the idea of owning something valuable and...
Video Just What Is The Best Super Mario Game Of All Time?

Video The Switch eShop Is Bad, And It's Making Us Sad
We're poets, we don't know it
Ah, the Switch eShop... A source of both joy and pain in equal measure. On the one hand, the eShop is our gateway to new digital games; a veritable smorgasbord of awesome first-party titles, incredible indie gems, and a selection of, uh... let's say, enthusiastic games. The eShop itself, however, is far from great...

Video We Instantly Make Nintendo Switch Sports Better
Well, the bowling at least
Nintendo Switch Sports is a bit of a bare bones experience, to say the least. We said just as much in our review, and our lovely video team previously discussed the reasoning behind our 6/10 score in more detail. To clarify, it's not a "bad" game by any means, but the lack of scope with the sports on offer is glaring, and...

Video A Look Back On The Switch's First Year Of Life
Felix reveals how the Switch won him over
It's still hard to believe that the Switch has now been in our lives for over 5 years.

Video Wii Sports - What Makes It Iconic?
The legacy of a lovely family game

At the end of last month, Nintendo announced it would be delaying the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.

Video We've Waited Years For This Moment
Scott Pilgrim and other goodies to unbox!
