From my perspective as an avid fan, what truly sets a fighting anime apart isn’t merely the dazzling techniques or power-ups; it’s the way battles serve as a platform for narrative exploration.

Many fans of FromSoftware, upon seeing The Duskbloods during the Nintendo Direct, instantly recalled Bloodborne. What came as a shock was learning that the game will debut exclusively for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Over the decades, Nintendo has managed to strike a balance between innovation and tradition, releasing groundbreaking games such as “Super Mario Bros.” for the Nintendo Entertainment System, followed by titles like “Wii Sports” which came pre-installed on the Wii. Introducing a new console is no small feat due to the substantial investment of time and resources required for production. As a result, the quality of launch lineups can differ significantly.

When the PC version of Spider-Man 2 was released in January, it offered players a markedly distinct experience compared to its highly praised and award-winning PS5 counterpart from 2023.

In the captivating world of One Punch Man, I can’t help but marvel at the formidable might of Genos, the demon cyborg. As the climax of Season 2 unfolded, it was evident that even a dragon-level beast like Elder Centipede, who once engaged in battle with the top-tier hero Blast, wasn’t impervious to Genos’ powerful blows. Remarkably, Genos managed to inflict damage upon this formidable foe and emerged from the encounter unscathed.
In essence, “Age of Imprisonment” can be seen as a continuation of sorts to “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity”. This game delves into the events that unfolded a century prior to the cataclysm depicted in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”. In
