Aspyr are going all-in with their Lucasarts partnership, readying 2000’s STAR WARS Episode I: Jedi Power Battles – originally released on PS1 and Dreamcast – for a re-release.

The handful of Five Nights at Freddy’s spin-offs released so far seem just as popular as the main entries. As such, it was inevitable that a retro-style pixel art horror adventure would surface at some point. This task has fallen onto Mega Cat Studios, best known for creating and publishing a slew of modern Mega …
The Switch eShop is quieter than usual this week, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing considering Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Disney Epic Mickey and EA SPORTS FC 25 launched just days ago.
