The most popular Pokemon games tend to be the mainline games. They follow a tried and tested formula of catching and battling Pokemon, nurturing them so they can face even tougher battles and so that you can become the best trainer there ever was. Though, when you grow tired of going from Gym Leader to Gym Leader but still want your Pokemon fix, there are fortunately plenty of Pokemon spin-off games for you to try.

But, obviously, the most famous of all remains a short and stocky mustachioed plumber by the name of Mario. But how Italian is he, really, and what exactly is his story?
]]>Star Fox has a problem. It’s a problem that faces a lot of games of its type and era - titles with their roots in the arcade, in sapping cash from hapless players. Sure, Star Fox was never actually an arcade game - but the games it is directly descended from were absolutely structured in that way, designed primarily to maximize player turnover and revenue.

]]>Nintendo’s Switch Online N64 service adds one of the best - but perhaps somewhat underappreciated – racing games on the system this week. Released in the N64’s launch window, Wave Race 64 was as much of a tech demo for Nintendo’s new 64-bit system as Super Mario 64, with the beautiful transparent ocean and realistic waves wowing any gamer who saw it, much like F-Zero’s Mode 7 tour-de-force did a generation before it. Shigeru Miyamoto himself maintains that Wave Race 64’s water uses ‘80% of the N64’s power’ but despite this, the game is more than just a fancy tech demo.
]]>This week marks the 24th birthday of Mission: Impossible. Not the film series, or the 60s and 70s action tv series upon which the film franchise is based – but rather, it’s the anniversary of a little Nintendo 64 classic, a game that, for my money, is one of the greatest examples of spying in video games.

]]>"Some call it a puffball, some call it a marshmallow, but most people prefer to simply call it Kirby." This was the beginning of Kirby 64. Back when Nintendo donned an even more finicky website, the teaser for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards still rings true over two decades later. As a Kirby fan through and through, the amount of people asking me what exactly Kirby is never ends: let's settle on pink puffball.
]]>A fan has shared his take on what a Metroid game might have looked like if it came out on the N64.
]]>I’ve got a soft spot for what, I’m told, are ‘s**t games’. From Croc: Legend of the Gobbos to Summoner, my taste in old PlayStation titles is, admittedly, probably quite patchy. People tell me that being an apologist for Gex should see my right to write about games revoked – that I can’t possibly know what I’m on about if I’ve got a soft spot for the literal lounge lizard’s dodgy platforming and questionable taste levels.
]]>It's May 4th! You know what that means – we all have to fall into the horrific trap set by the world's biggest media megacorp and embrace it as Star Wars Day, 'cos May the 4th be with you and all that. And people say Valentines Day is a corporate trick...!

]]>In a GDC Europe post-mortem of N64 classic Goldeneye 007, as reported by IGN, director Martin Hollis revealed a troubled development history for the system-seller. Highlights include the team building an on-rails shooter because it didn't know what kind of controller the then-new console would have, and chucking the famous multiplayer in at the last moment. The game took 32 months to make, well over deadline. Interesting stuff. Goldeneye 007 has never been released via console networks thanks to the transfer of the Bond license, but a modern re-imagining was released by Activision in 2010.
