There’s a lot of buttons in Smash, but really, there’s an argument that you only need one. Especially if you main with the spam-tastic Ness or Simon. Insert Controller Here built this controller to feature only two things: an input for a nunchuk, so you can actually move around, and a single giant button. Marvellous.…
Dr. Mario World, Nintendo’s latest smartphone title, will be out on Android and iOS on July 10
By trimming down a full-size Wii motherboard, modder David Barscheski has been able to cram everything you need to play both Wii and GameCube games inside a case that’s kinda the same size as a GBA SP. It’s thicker, of course (if only to fit a fan and monitor in), but I love how he’s…
Gundam has a long history ofinspiring sneakers and sneaker colourways, but these new shoes from Chinese company 361 Degrees are the result of an official collaboration. Here’s the complete lineup, with prices around the USD$60-70 mark. There are six shoes shown here but there are actually only four models, with some of them simply available…
Westwood’s Blade Runner point-and-click adventure from 1997 isn’t just a fantastic game in its own right, it’s also one of—if not the—finest adaptations in video game history. If you haven’t played it, maybe now’s a good time to start. For a very long time, it’s been unavailable to purchase and play on modern systems. Indeed…
Twice a year, London plays host to one of the biggest nerd shows in all of Europe, as well over 100,000 fans cram into the ExCel convention centre in the British capital for panels, merch, parties and of course cosplay. Our previous coverage of the show has relied on the kindness of local photographers, but…
Taking Bob Dob’s famous illustrations as his basis, Korean artist Roh Seung Hoon has got the Mario Brothers spending the night in the slammer for…well, either they both fought Bowser, or they fought each other. Please continue scrolling to see what’s under their hats. You can see more of Roh Seung Hoon’s stuff at his…
Last year, Paradox announced that a range of board game adaptations were on the way for some of their biggest titles. The first is Crusader Kings II, and the second will be Cities: Skylines While you’d expect a Skylines board game to be all about plastic buildings, that’s actually not the case; like the underlying…
We’re not even a year on from Tesla founder Elon Musk’s settlement in a case over using an aritst’s work without credit and we’re back here again, this time over some fan art of Nier Automata’s star 2B. The tech billionaire, who has over 27 million followers on Twitter, posted the art over the weekend…

Square Enix, one of the largest video game publishers on the planet, is interested in getting its entire back catalogue of games together so it can sell/stream them to you online. But there’s just this one tiny problem: some of the older games are missing. In an interview with Game Informer this week at E3,…
It’s been twenty years since Shenmue was first released, and for all the millions of times it’s been played and completed in that time, it’s taken until 2019 for somebody to find that there’s a homage to Street Fighter hidden in the game’s code. Via Shenmue fan site PhantomRiverStone, Japanese gamer nullpo posted the first…
Freelance artistJorge Marme has for the last few months been working on a project where he draws every single Smash Ultimate character, from the original roster through to the DLC. He’s now done, and the results are fantastic. You can see a selection below, but there are more—along with Marme’s other stuff—at his Instagram page…
Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer (or just PES) is one of the longest-running and most successful sports games on the planet, so sure, change its name to eFootball PES, what harm could it do. I am serious, this year’s version of the game will be called eFootball PES 2020, as a nod to the game’s supposed…
Because pop culture tie-ins are an adult sneaker thing now, Nike is releasing a line of shoes based on Netflix’s Stranger Things. Thankfully, they are a lot more tasteful than the announcement itself might have you believe. Rather than just releasing a bunch of sneakers based on characters (which admittedly would be hard for a…
Just like they did with the PS4 back in 2017, Square Enix is releasing a Dragon Quest slime controller for the Nintendo Switch, and everything about it is perfect. Due out in September, it’s a fully-functioning Switch Pro controller, with triggers, thumbsticks, motion controls, the works. Only it’s also a giant rubber-coated blue slime from…
We must all deal with adversity in our own way. Here is my state of mind prior to this year’s E3: We did not get Skate 4 Rather than succumb to the darkness, I have instead found solace in Skatebird, a game about tiny little birds who skate. We covered it last year, but developers…
2011’s Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch still looks amazing, so it doesn’t really need a remaster for its new platforms. But it’s getting one, and everyone with a Switch, PS4 and/or PC who hasn’t played it is in for a treat. While the more recent sequel was released on a wider array…
Hey, if Nintendo and Sega can do it, then Konami can too. In a surprise E3 announcement, the company is releasing a miniature version of the classic 90s Turbografx-16 console, called the Turbografx-16 mini. If you’re wondering why Konami is handling this, the original console was a joint effort between NEC and Hudson. Konami became…
Long before Mordhau, one of the best examples of first-person melee combat on the PC was 2012’s Chivalry, so it’ll be interesting to see how Chivalry II shapes up when it’s released next year. On the bright side, hey, it’s more Chivalry! On the less bright side: Chivalry 2 is currently in development for PC…
