Nintendo Switch 2: 5 features we want in the next-gen console

Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 (or Switch Pro) have been circulating for years.  Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was first teased in 2019, gained steam when the Switch OLED launched in 2021, and are increasing now that the standard Switch has been out for six years. There’s no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console — it has a unique impressive game library (with more upcoming games slated for this year), the number of features…

Meet Your Maker is bringing out my inner sadist

Before launch, Meet Your Maker was widely compared to Super Mario Maker. After spending a few hours with the hybrid shooter-builder, I found that comparison to be less and less applicable (outside the obvious fact that both games feature level-creation systems). Meet Your Maker is a much different beast than something like Mario Maker, and the differences go beyond just the change in perspective and style. The game is broken up into two parts that feed into one another: raiding other players’ custom-built bases to…

The best Mario games of all time, ranked

Nintendo’s Super Mario series is so monumental to the medium of video games that you might even think of the mustachioed plumber when you hear “video games” mentioned at all. From his earliest days as “Jumpman” battling Donkey Kong, to his latest adventures on the Nintendo Switch, to his latest movie appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Mario has consistently been one of the greatest characters in video games. He’s such an iconic character that countless video games have had him as the star, and we attempted to…

5 game adaptations that could build the Mario Cinematic Universe

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is in theaters now and it’s getting a mixed reception. While some aren’t impressed by its thin story and Minions-like humor, Mario fans generally seem happy with what’s at least a visually faithful take on the iconic gaming series. There’s a good chance it’ll be a financial success even with middling reviews, so you can bet that Nintendo and Illumination are already cooking up sequel plans. The next installment might just come in the form of Super Mario Bros. 2, but there’s real potential…

On the Warzone 2.0 side of things, expect the new Al Mazrah Massive Resurgence mode to drop as soon as the season begins. This will allow players to respawn continuously as long as at least one player…

The best video game remakes of all time

There are so many classic games from the past that have become difficult for new players to experience. The farther away in time we get from these games’ releases, the more difficult it can get to not only get the game itself but also the extra hardware needed to play them. That alone is a major barrier that turns people away from playing games many consider to be some of the greatest of all time. And that’s not even taking into account dated graphics, controls, and mechanics. Remakes offer a new generation a chance…
