VIDEO: Super Rare Games #33: Unboxing and Physical Review

In the new series from NintyBuzz, our Video Producer, Wilf puts on his unboxing hat for Super Rare Games.

Have a look inside the latest physical release from Super Rare Games, Graceful Explosion Machine. This addictive, arcade shoot ’em up involves piloting a small craft around stylish levels and using the four unique weapons to destroy enemies and rack up hefty combo multipliers to achieve that elusive S+ rank. As seen in the video, Super Rare Games’ physical edition comes packaged with a unique sticker, three trading cards and a full-colour manual. This is a strictly limited release, living up to the “Super Rare” moniker, so if it tickles your fancy it’s worth getting over to the Super Rare store post-haste.

Got an idea for the next indie darling that deserves a full physical? Let us know in the comments!

Pokémon Presents reveals new titles for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices

June is usually a big month for game announcements, courtesy of the E3 Expo. However, its cancellation this year has resulted in developers and publishers instead choosing to share their game announcements via video conferences and live streams. Last week saw Sony fully unveiling the Playstation 5, whilst Microsoft have made plans to show more of the Xbox Series X in July – however Nintendo, as they like to do best, are keeping fans waiting for news about what the year ahead holds for Switch owners.  While there is still no sign of an imminent Nintendo Direct, the Pokémon company have this afternoon shared some announcements of their own. Although this Pokémon direct was lacking in new console announcements (sorry to those of you anticipating the Pokémon Mini 2) it did have a few intriguing announcements of its own, with three new titles revealed to the public along with further details about games which have already been released. Read on to find out more.

Paper Mario – A look back at the series so far

Paper Mario is a series which launched almost two decades ago on the Nintendo 64 and has since spawned six mainline entries, the latest of which, Paper Mario: The Origami King, is set to release next month on the Nintendo Switch. Yet there are many, myself included, who feel that this series has struggled to recapture its early magic with more recent entries. So, what exactly was it that made the original game so special? To answer that, we need to take a stroll back down memory lane to the Year 2000, when the Nokia 3310 was at the peak of mobile technology and Anne Robinson was instilling fear in contestants on the Weakest Link.
