I’m not going to reiterate my older work on games I’ve given the NES Classic/NES anniversary treatment to; it’s all NEW content! I’m ranking the top…

So we got a pretty severe update on the development of Metroid Prime 4 this morning. It was not immediately good — the secret team (probably Bandai Namco, possibly chunks of the Star Wars 1331 prototype team) have been pulled from the project, and it’s shifting over to Retro Studios, the developers of the original…

Opinion: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is what it says on the tin
Unreal I’ve had Ultimate for about three weeks now, and I’m still saying the header of this article. This game is just…it feels like an impossible dream somehow sprung upon reality that we shouldn’t have gotten. I’ve covered the game extensively since its reveal here on LVLS, and every time I start up the game…
