Review – R-Type Dimensions III
R-Type is a series with remarkable consistency. You can ask a group of fans what their favourite title is and almost every entry will be represented. For me, it’s R-Type III: The Third Lightning, but that might be because I love the SNES. Also, I’ve only played the first three games. Released in 1993 on SNES, R-Type III was the…

Review – Star Fox 64 3D
When news about Star Fox for the Switch 2 dropped, I immediately messaged Zoey and told her I was going to review it when it drops later this year. But if I’m gonna do a review of the game justice, I’ll have to refresh my memory of Star Fox 64. It had been a long time since I played it,…

Review – Lucky & Wild
Mixing driving with lightguns is so obvious it's surprising that Lucky & Wild is one of the few full-body arcade games to do it. But did it do the concept justice or squander its amazing idea?

Review – Majyūō: King of Demons
I hate admitting that I haven’t heard of a game before, but I can’t claim to have known of King of Demons (known as Majyūō in its homeland). To be fair, it was previously only released in Japan on the Super Famicom, and now commands a hefty price tag on the collector’s market. As part of their recent reissue of…

Review – Tsuppari Ōzumō
Here come the portly slappers. Tsuppari Ōzumō is an accurate simulation of Japan's national sport. It includes important sumo techniques, such as the suplex and the cartwheel. Check it out!

Review – Super Chase: Criminal Termination (Arcade)
Are you ready for some excessive force? Better get off the sidewalk, grandma, because the police are coming through, and they will literally stop at nothing to make sure the criminal is pulled from a burning wreck and brought to justis. That's Super Chase.

Review – Rogue Light Deck Builder
Listen, I have good news. Rogue Light Deck Builder isn't a roguelite deck-builder. But if you're into roguelite deck-builders, that's totally okay, it's just a lot of people aren't because the genre is kind of packed these days. But that's moot, because Rogue Light Deck Builder isn't a roguelite deck-builder, it's a game where you build a deck and there's…

Review – The Goonies (Famicom)
If you’re someone who’s really into the NES but knows nothing about the Famicom (which is understandable, I’m not hating), you might wonder why there’s a The Goonies 2, but not a The Goonies 1. And you may start thinking it’s positioning itself as a narrative sequel to the classic 1985 film. Well, that thinking is sort of right but…

Review – Blippo+
After a few recommendations, I've visited one of 2025's darlings. But Blippo+ is much less a game, and more a collection of low-budget sketches joined together by a central plot. I can see why it's so fascinating.

Review – Lovish
Lovish is a charming throwback to the single-screen arcade games that would have eaten rolls of quarters in the ’80s. Players take control of Sir Soloman, a selfish knight who decides to ditch his party before they venture out so he can have the princess in waiting all to himself. Without his band of RPG staples to help him out,…
