Following a lengthy countdown teaser, Valve unveiled this new Team Fortress 2 short today, along with news that the free-to-play game is getting some new taunts like conga dancing and flipping. This is their longest short yet. Fifteen minutes! Watch it all here:

Yesterday, competitive Hearthstone player Radu “RDU” Dima won the DreamHack tournament for Blizzard’s digital card game, going home with $10,000. But the big win comes with an asterisk: during the second match of the finals, observers saw Dima’s in-game Hearthstone friends sending him in-game messages that included information about the cards in his opponent’s hand.…
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was, by most accounts, a very good game. It was also, by most accounts, excruciating until you could actually play it. See, the Wii’s second Zelda game is packed with introductions and tutorials, to the point where it takes four to five hours before you can actually start playing.…
I could watch this gif of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma all day. Via this Facebook video (We’ll have more… substantial stories about Zelda and Aonuma later this afternoon.)

Infamous YouTuber PewDiePie netted $4 million last year, “most of which is pure profit,” according to a new Wall Street Journal profile. He wishes he wasn’t so famous. “I’m so central to YouTube now, and that puts me in the spotlight and raises a lot of questions like ‘Why is he so big?'” PewDiePie said…
It has long been a silly and antiquated tradition for video game fans to pledge allegiances to companies, or to declare that any one of those companies has “won” E3. Yet it’s also inevitable that every single year at the Video Game Extravaganza in Los Angeles, one or two companies will have a stronger show…
Are you hoping for something different from the new Zelda, which blew everyone away when it was announced earlier this week during Nintendo’s E3 show? Series producer Eiji Aonuma has promised that this one will shake things up, with an open-world focus that calls back to the days of Zelda on the NES. He’s also…
Earlier this week, just after press conference day, Square Enix dropped one of E3’s biggest bombshells—that they’re remaking the PSP game Final Fantasy Type-0 and bringing it to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One here in North America. This was exciting news for fans desperate to play one of the few Final Fantasy games that never…
Ah, Majora’s Mask. For years now, Zelda fans have been praying for and speculating about a sequel or remake to the beloved Nintendo 64 game, and Nintendo has teased us constantly about the possibility. But we haven’t seen anything yet. I just sat down with Eiji Aonuma, the man in charge of all things Zelda…
Last week, when Square Enix published their E3 trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.5, they added a little teaser for Kingdom Hearts III. We knew that already. What we didn’t know is that according to Kingdom Hearts III co-director Tai Yasue, who spoke to me this morning in an E3 interview, this is actually the first…
Nintendo’s E3 announcements aren’t over yet: they’ve got a Smash Bros. Q&A/discussion planned for tonight at 7pm Pacific, and a 90-minute Q&A/discussion for “an unannounced 3DS game” planned for tomorrow night at 6pm Pacific. We’ll be at both, covering the news as it happens. Here’s hoping for a new 3DS Metroid or Zelda.
We snuck into the VIP section of Nintendo’s booth here at E3 2014 and played some :Super Smash Bros. I can confirm that Mega Man is hella fun, and that I probably shouldn’t shit-talk if I’m not going to win a game. Watch us play in the video above. Smash is out in October for 3DS…
Straight outta E3, here’s some 45 minutes of the folks at Nintendo’s Treehouse playing through Xenoblade Chronicles X, the upcoming JRPG by the studio Monolith Soft. Looks a whole lot like Xenoblade, don’t you think? There’s clearly some Xenogears/Xenosaga influence in here too. The game will be out for Wii U next year, Nintendo says.…
As Nintendo announced a couple of weeks ago, you’ll be able to play the Wii U Smash Bros. game with GameCube controllers using a new adapter peripheral they’ve created for their newest console. The Wii U GameCube controller adapter will be out on the same day as Super Smash Bros., and it’ll cost $20. There’s…
Fantasy Life, the 3DS RPG from Level-5, is coming to the U.S. this October, Nintendo announced today.
The JRPG “X” is now “Xenoblade Chronicles X.” Looks like a sequel to Xenoblade, and it’s got shades of Xenogears and Xenosaga too. Coming to Wii U in 2015. Video trailer above.
We just got our first glimpse at the first new high-definition Zelda game, and it looks truly insane. Zelda is going open-world. Series producer Eiji Aonuma announced the game during the Nintendo Digital Presentation this morning, promising that this Zelda will feel totally different thanks to their open-world structure. It looks like a cross between…
