I know. It’s pretty silly that we report heavily on this massive pop-cultural powerhouse with millions of players. Read more

In case anyone wants an alternative, keep in mind that BASSTOP (the company making the often translucent Switch case replacement mods sometimes featured on Kotaku) also make versions for the left Joy-Con with d-pads. It’s obviously more work than what Hori’s offering, but it’s cheaper and you won’t lose any features.

I never knew this version existed! Based on the gameplay, I would have to agree that this looks like the best version. It’s an awesome mix of DD1 with the SNES versions fighting system. Read more

Good news! That Dog has a new song (“Mean What I Say”) on iTunes, and a new album is on the way. It looks like it’s already been recorded and is just a matter of getting it out there somehow. Read more

Intense First Person Experience:

I haven’t played myself but friends have and as far as I understood if you linger for a while and let the other get out of the level you can just explore and everything should respawn.
