The Master Trials DLC from Breath of the Wild gave us the Trial of the Sword, a limited resources gauntlet run, consisting of mixed challenges with varying levels of difficulty. The 51 floors are split into three stages, with no option to save partway through. Having just replayed this for the third time, I found myself wishing I could go back and just replay one specific floor again, with the caveat of having already completed that stage, and carrying the…

For 37 years, Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards has been giving their blimp-shaped prizes to what children vote for in the world of pop culture. It wasn’t until 1995 they they introduced the award for “Favorite Video Game,” giving kids a chance to let the world know what game’s they love playing.

Last year, Ubisoft news editor and game industry veteran Mikel Reparaz offered up an interesting take on the Game Boy Advance during an episode of his Vidjagame Apocalypse podcast. When discussing the newly announced Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Reparaz asserted that “GBA graphics, for the most part, have aged terribly.” Beyond just the resolution limitations of the 2001 handheld, Reparaz took particular aim at the system’s “aesthetics” and “distinctive look.” “It’s sort of like Donkey Kong Country…

As the Zelda series continues to grow in popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a new entry or, at the very least, a remaster in the 2D facet of the series. With the Nintendo Switch successor looming over the horizon of 2025, perhaps we may even receive it as a launch title.

Whether you love it, are ambivalent towards it, or dislike it, there is no denying that Tears of the Kingdom is by far the largest Zelda game ever made. The game includes the game world of Breath of the Wild (completed with new cave systems), and two additional areas to explore (one above and one below the ground). While the island in The Sky are relatively small collections of land, The Depth is the same size as the surface world….
