You want some swag? Who doesn't want swag? We've just launched the Cheerful Ghost Zazzle shop, where you can get shirts and mugs for Tale of the White Wyvern.

We have two Tale mugs to choose from-- one black text on a white mug, and the other with the full purple/teal/fuchsia color scheme you know and love from the game. We call this the "Janky AF Version" because, the way the Zazzle printing works... it looks a little janky. But we love it and hope you do too.

As for Tale shirts, you can choose the classic black shirt with white text, a black shirt with white/teal/fuchsia text, or the super special purple shirt with white/teal/fuchsia text!

We gave you some options... Read All


The Nintendo Direct today had a lot of great news if you love your Switch as much as I do. To me, the biggest news is that Nintendo Online is getting Super Nintendo games. The Super Nintendo is coming to the Switch tomorrow and launching with 20 games, which is as many as the Super Nintendo Classic included. Some incredible Super Nintendo Classic games are part of Super Nintendo Online but Nintendo is bringing 11 games that didn't make it the Classic to Super Nintendo Online and I've broken up the twenty games below:

Games coming to Super Nintendo Online included in the SNES Classic: Super Mario Kart, Kirby’s Dream Course, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’... Read All


There have been a lot of retro game re-releases in HD, 4K and some rebuilt from the ground up for modern systems like the new Link's Awakening Switch remake. 3D Realms has partnered up with Voidpoint to release a brand new game using a modern port of the Build Engine which was created in the 90's for games like Duke Nukem 3D and and Shadow Warrior. Ion Fury is a game very faithful to that 90's shooter vibe being that it's using that same tech ported to modern systems. It's a fun way to create something new with the old retro aesthetic and I hope more games like it are created.

LGR recently reviewed Ion Fury and he gave it a rave review!

Everyone seems to think streaming your games online just like Netflix is just around the corner. With Google Stadia's launch being sometime in November that game streaming future is coming closer but as more details surface some people aren't so excited. It's no secret that Metal Jesus is a huge retro game collector that prefers owning physical copies of games. I'm not as hardcore a collector as Jesus, but my preference is to own a physical game but I do own quite a few games on Steam and other digital stores too. That said, Metal Jesus released a video recently where he talks about why he cancelled his Google Stadia pre-order. It seems his main reason is that the 4K... Read All

Have you wanted more adventure after Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, Plague of Shadows, Specter of Torment and the unreleased King of Cards campaign? If you did, you're in luck because an all new Shovel Knight game was recently teased called Shovel Knight Dig! It looks to blend some infinite dungeons rogue level mechanics with the first-rate platforming of Shovel Knight. Shovel Knight Dig is being developed by Nitrome with help by Yacht Club Games and Dig features a very familiar yet fresh new take on the Shovel Knight pixel art style.

No word on the launch date or platforms but 2020 seems likely but when I know more i'll drop the word here.

If you are a Destiny fan and have Destiny 2 on Battle.net you've most likely already linked your Battle.net and Steam account to transfer your game on October 1st. That said, if you picked up Destiny 2 for free on Battle.net you might not have transferred yet and you should because Destiny 2 on PC won't be available on Battle.net for the long haul. Bungie has parted ways with Activision and is now flying solo and migrating to Steam is part of the separation. At some point Destiny 2 is going entirely free to play but if you have any account data in Battle.net now is the time to move it over to Steam.

I moved things over and it wasn't too hard. Frankly having Destiny 2... Read All


Nintendo is launching Mario Kart tour on mobile September 25th and pre-order is available. Mario Kart Tour launches on iOS and Android and from some early impressions seems to be a fairly simple take on the Mario Kart formula. Not sure this will replace Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch but if it's fun, i'll play it. These Nintendo mobile free titles haven't been great but if you don't have a modern Nintendo system and don't mind simple fun, they aren't too bad.

We've built a new episode of Cheerful Ghost Radio and we can't wait for you to play it. In this episode we review Super Mario Maker 2 on the Nintendo Switch!


Nintendo was at the Gamescom expo this year demoing the Link's Awakening remake and released a new video showing off some all new gameplay footage. The biggest news bit from the video is that not only will you unlock more rooms for the Mario Maker styled Zelda Dungeon maker included BUT as you create and complete dungeons you can unlock more rooms to use to create levels. Match this up with the ability to share your creations with friends and to me this looks like it could be a really cool feature of the game.

Link's will make his Awakening very real on September 20th on Nintendo Switch!

Please let me know in the comments if you plan on playing this on launch and if you... Read All
