Finish the fight.

The recent release of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will have had many Switch owners pondering the robustness of their control setup; as much as we like the console’s Joy-Con and Pro Controller offerings, they’re not exactly ideal for the intense nature of one-on-one fighting games.

That’s where Hori’s Fighting Commander for Nintendo Switch comes in. The latest in a long line of similar pads created by the Japanese company, this controller has been designed with competitive brawlers in mind.

From Concordia, with love.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is right around the corner and we are excited. We’ve been lucky enough to go hands-on with the latest entry in the wacky RPG series and we came away with 15 minutes of crisp new gameplay footage for you to see the Bros. back in action.

The above clips are taken from an early section of the game, showcasing two different islands that Mario & Luigi set out to save in the hopes of reuniting the fractured nation of Concordia. You’ll see a decent amount of overworld exploring, some of the turn-based battles with the iconic Bro-specific button inputs and a peppering of the dry humour that we so loved in the series’ GBA and DS titles.

Instead, the purpose of this collaboration is to “further boost the joy of the global football community through esports”. M-hmm.

Dear mother can you hear me gaming?

Good grief, first alarm clocks and now this… Rock band Green Day has announced that it is releasing ‘Dookie Demastered’, a collection of extraordinarily unique items that play individual tracks from the band’s iconic 1994 album Dookie.

The items are available to purchase in the US, but only via a limited draw; so essentially you’re free to order however many you like, but you could very well end up with none. Items include a floppy disk (Having a Blast), a doorbell (Longview), and a Big Mouth Billie Bass (Basket Case), but what really caught our attention is a genuine Game Boy cartridge that plays the entirety of Welcome to Paradise.
