After spending a day now with Apex Legends’ new addition to the roster, fast-moving Spanglish-slangin’ daredevil Octane, I find myself picking him naturally, since he gels so well with my play style. So I sat down with Kotaku’s Riley MacLeod to talk about everything we like about Octane and our trouble trying to make…
I’ve been doing a lot of interviews at GDC that I can’t wait to tell you about, but in the meantime can you guess who I was just talking with from this horrible sketch in my notebook? He was throwing a lot of punches and talking about how to make good action games.
Fire Emblem’s entry in the Dynasty Warriors series has a lot going for it on the combat front, even if the story might leave Fire Emblem fans feeling left high and dry:
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon passed the “cutest Final Fantasy game” crown to World of Final Fantasy and its hordes of adorable critters in 2016, but that’s okay. The 2007 Wii game, remastered today for the Switch and PlayStation 4 and renamed Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy, is still one of the…
There are few things more infuriating than getting popped by a teammate in a multiplayer first-person shooter. Rainbow Six Siege’s solution? The digital equivalent of making team killers smack themselves with their own hands and telling them to “stop hitting yourself.”
Google shared a lot of information about it’s new video game streaming platform at yesterday’s GDC presentation, and we’ve learned even more about the technology through interviews, like the one Kotaku had with Stadia boss Phil Harrison on Splitscreen. But there’s still a lot we don’t know.

What year is it?! If you still want to make 8-bit NES games, you can demo and buy “NES Maker” software here at GDC, which lets you create an NES game with a GUI interface, no programming necessary. The games you make can run on actual NES hardware.

In the year 2019, Xbox One controllers still, inexplicably, don’t have rechargeable batteries built in. Luckily, it’s a pretty easy fix with these affordable kits, which include a charging dock and two battery packs that slot into the AA battery compartment on your controllers. Strangely enough, the white model is a…
A port of roguelike bullet hell Nuclear Throne and a surprise new sequel, Blaster Master Zero 2, are both coming to Switch... today. Nintendo just announced these during their indies showcase.
The Switch is a very good platform for indie games, and it’s only getting better. During today’s “Nindies Showcase,” Nintendo announced 16 independent games newly coming to the Switch, including Cuphead, Stranger Things, and a Crypt of the NecroDancer/Zelda mashup.
Well, this is very different and pretty damn cool. Nintendo just announced that the people behind the excellent musical dungeon-crawling game Crypt of the NecroDancer are making a Zelda game called Cadence of Hyrule. It’s out this spring.
Cuphead was one of the best Xbox One and PC side-scrollers of the last few years—and on April 18, it’s coming to Nintendo Switch.
Today’s Nindies Spring Showcase kicks off at noon Eastern. It’s a 30-minute presentation featuring a slew of independent games coming to the Switch. Watch it right here or via our YouTube embed.

Shocker: things are gonna…
