While the Switch may be the main platform of choice for Nintendo these days, they haven't forgotten about their other portable system, the 3DS. On September 7, the action-RPG variant of their popular Yo-Kai Watch series, called YO-KAI WATCH BLASTERS, will be making its way to our shores and you'll be able to team up with three friends to take down bosses with your collection of spirits.
Technically speaking, Monster Hunter Generations isn't a proper full-on sequel. Think of it like a scenic detour, the kind you take when you want to drive by the world's largest ball of aluminum foil. Generations strips out a lot of story and circumstance from the main game in favor of adding tons of new weapons, quests, armor sets, and jus...
The action/tower defense game Protect Me Knight is back with a sequel! Only it's not called Protect Me Knight 2, it's called Gotta Protectors, which sounds much more, I don't know, active? Either way, the sugary sweet retro game will be ready to grace the Nintendo 3DS eShop on July 21.

While it initially slipped under our radar when it was first revealed this past March, Kirby: Planet Robobot will be available this Friday, June 10, and features a rather neat co-op mode.

It's barely been a year since Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate made its way stateside, and to be honest, I'm still playing it. The series became something of a surprise hit outside of Japan thanks to the intensive effort put in by the localization team.

To say that Co-Optimus loved Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is an understatement as we gave the game a massive 5 out of 5 in our review. To keep us coming back for more Capcom have been releasing free DLC for the game and the next batch is incoming June.

You say potato, I say Toukiden Kiwami. This may not be the easiest game to pronounce, but it is made by the people behind the Dynasty Warrior franchise and for fans of strategic mash-em-ups that can be no bad thing. Those with long memories may remember the Vita version of the game, but as of March 27th 2015, it will also be available on PlayStation 4. A new mission trailer and pre-order info have been released to whet your appetite.
