Lost Judgment Launches Today, One Final Trailer Touts the High Review Scores

[embedded content] It’s finally time: Lost Judgment, the sequel to the Yakuza spin-off Judgment, drops today, and Sega has put out the launch trailer showing off everything praiseworthy about the game. I think the game is worth picking up. However, everyone should be warned that this game deals with some dark stuff, including but not limited to bullying and suicide. In case you aren’t familiar, the game follows private detective Takayuki Yagami, who’s taken a new case in Ijincho, away from his home territory of Kamurocho. He’s asked by friends

Nintendo 64 games on Nintendo Switch Online might run at 50Hz in Europe

Nintendo Switch Online will be adding a selection of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis to subscribers’ libraries in late October with a new Expansion Pack tier, but fans in Europe have already noticed there might be notable regional differences.  Outside of the usual differences in games that are being offered between Japan and Western regions, European fans are specifically worried that the games will be the inferior 50Hz versions, rather than the 60Hz versions it appears North America and Japan are getting.  This issue dates back to pre-HDMI gaming consoles

Nintendo Switch Online Japan’s Sega Genesis controller will be the six-button version

One of Nintendo’s biggest announcements from the latest Nintendo Direct was the addition of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games coming to Nintendo Switch Online next month. Nintendo also announced a pair of wireless controllers that players can purchase. These are modeled off the original controllers for these two devices. For users in Japan, however, there will be access to the six-button Sega Genesis controller instead. While the English presentation showcased the original three-button controller, the Japanese broadcast showed the six-button version, which will be available in the country. For

A few times a year, Nintendo puts on a showcase of all of the games that are soon to come to the Nintendo Switch. This Direct was packed with tons of games that are coming out in the near future, and updates for existing games. The cast and release date of the Super Mario Bros. movie were also revealed in this Nintendo Direct. Bayonetta 3 (2022) Originally announced in 2017, Bayonetta 3 finally got an update and a release window. The game is releasing in 2022, so players waiting to

Nintendo announced that Chris Pratt will play Mario on the big screen

It’s a me, Burt Macklin! Chris Pratt is voice acting as Mario in a feature film that Nintendo is working on with Illumination, the studio that made “Despicable Me.” Also, they didn’t tell us at Nintendo Direct who the new “Smash” fighter is. But we can’t be too disappointed, because apparently Anya Taylor-Joy is Peach, Jack Black is Bowser, Charlie Day is Luigi and recent TechCrunch Disrupt guest (shameless plug) Seth Rogen is Donkey Kong, giving me the representation I always wanted from Nintendo. Anyway, we’ll have to wait until December

All Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games available on Nintendo Switch Online

A new “Expansion Pack” tier is being added to the existing Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, which will not only add Nintendo 64 games to the Switch’s library but also a handful of classics from the Sega Genesis, too.  This new subscription will give players access to the pre-existing NES and SNES games already offered as part of the original service while also adding N64 and Genesis games into the mix. While Nintendo has not officially shared what the new NSO tier will cost as a per month or annual

Nippon Ichi Software Will Announce a New Strategy JRPG at Tokyo Game Show

Today Japanese developer Nippon Ichi Software announced that it’ll reveal a new game at Tokyo Game Show.

The new JRPG will be introduced directly by Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa. You can find the announcement below. Of course, the name that comes to mind when we hear of strategy JRPGs by
