Aside from the Nintendo Switch console, Nintendo’s “NES Classic Console” which the company launched during the Holiday Season of 2016 has proved to be a hot product, and extremely hard to find ever since it officially hit store shelves last November.

Last week we received our first batch of information regarding Microsoft’s Project Scorpio, ever since it was initially announced during E3 2016. We already knew it was going to be a beast of a machine, but now we have an even better idea of what is will be capable of, as Microsoft has recently confirmed the system to be fully capable of playing games at 4K/60FPS. Not only that, but the system is also set to be packed with 12GB of GDDR5 Ram, an 8-core CPU, and an efficient water-cooling system. Microsoft also confirmed earlier this week that they have…

While many believe The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is to thank for the recent Switch success, others, such as myself, firmly believe that Nintendo’s got something special going on with this system, however in order to keep hold of the momentum they’ve got…

After the Splatoon 2 testfire which took place a few weeks ago, Splatoon 2 easily sky-rocketed to being one of my most anticipated titles of 2017.

During that time, the title did not have an official name but during the recent Nintendo Direct Presentation which took place this week; we now know the official name of…
