Opinion: Nintendo 35th Anniversaries
The cynic in me knows that 31st March 2021 marks the end of a financial year for Nintendo, so them ending production and even digital availability of their 35th Anniversary […]
Keeping Fit with Ring Fit Adventure
Having now conquered the main campaign in Ring Fit Adventure, I think I’m definitely in a position to move beyond my first impressions of the game. Prior to the first […]

Review: Shmubedi Boo
Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name and visuals of Shmubedi Boo – it’s an extremely challenging single screen platformer with incredibly devious level design, not unlike a non-scrolling Super Meat Boy, though far more colourful and kawaii than that game ever was. The plot – which is largely irrelevant – sees an evil rabbit stealing apples from the inhabitants […]
