Retro gaming is all the rage these days, and Nintendo is taking full advantage of that. The company’s release of the NES Classic was a hit last year, and they recently confirmed that they would be releasing a similar product for the SNES.

Titled Gnosia, it originally released last year as a PlayStation Vita exclusive in Japan, but is now being ported to Switch and releasing in the West in early 2021....

The longest running film series isn’t the MCU or James Bond. Godzilla holds the honor, with 35 films released since 1954.

With so many films and such a large array of characters, then, it should come as no surprise Godzilla has received different video games over the years....
