Nintendo Japan have today given fans a brief glimpse at what must be one of the most sought-after areas of the entire company: one of their storage rooms, where old consoles and peripherals are kept.

Wonder Woman Cosplay Is Coming To Kick Your Ass

Leon Kennedy, At Your Service

Cosplayer Leon Chiro has a slight twist on Leon Kennedy cosplay, going for his appearance in next year’s animated Resident Evil movie, Vendetta. Though I guess that’s also very similar to how he looked in Resident Evil 6

Snooker Champion Is Not VR Champion, Falls Over

Ronnie O’Sullivan is one of the greatest snooker players to ever pick up a cue. In the real world, he would kick your ass. In a virtual game of snooker, though, the dude has some problems. Mostly with the floor. This clip is from a trailer for a new History Channel show starring the Englishman,…

GTA V Jumbo Jet vs 100 People

RZED had a simple question: could a big enough crowd of GTA V civilians stop one of the game’s replica 747s? Turns out the answer is yes. And then some.

That Is A Lot Of Blizzard Characters

John Polidora is an artist at Blizzard. You like Mercy’s Halloween skin? He did the concept for that. And loads of others, of course. As a senior concept artist and character designer working on the game, that’s literally his job. I just thought I’d mention Mercy because as someone who mains as Mercy it is…

WWE 2K17 Glitches Are A Good Time

WWE 2K’s physics may not misbehave quite so perfectly as FIFA’swhen they go wrong, but when it goes wrong, it can still be pretty great. The game’s only been out for a day, and already we have sightings of poltergeist body slams, wrestlers wearing tables and ladder murder. WARNING: Lotta gifs ahead.

Custom NES Is Also A Magic Zelda Chest

Spain’s Mako Mod have made a replica of a Legend of Zelda chest. That’s also a working NES. Complete with Triforce that actually levitates Thanks to “an electromagnetic levitation technology, and a ‘near-field’ wireless transmission of electricity”, the Triforce spins around in thin air just like it does in the games. No strings, just science/magic…

Don’t Ever Nerf This Overwatch Cosplay

The mech. The mech is the cosplay here. There’s someone inside it. Let’s be real, most D.Va cosplay you see involves people buying the same bodysuit online. Daniel Ramos and his wife put in work on this, though, building D.Va’s entire mech as an outfit so Daniel could wear it to the New York Comic…

Look At This $398 Fallout 4 Figure

Following on from threezero’s first Fallout 4 figure, here’s one based on the game’s T-60 Power Armor. There will be two versions available, one for $398 (which has flames on it, and includes a nuke launcher and rifle) and one for $380 (with no flames, and just a rifle). At that price it’s not for everyone,…

Some Perfect Witcher 3 Cosplay

Here’s Lyumos as The Witcher 3’s Keira Metz, with one of the most elaborate cosplays from the game I’ve seen yet. And I’ve seen a lot I mean, the shot above lets you see how much work had to go into it, but some of the detail shots below show you just how much work.…

Night Dive Studios, specialists in re-releasing classic PC games for more modern hardware, have announced today that they’ll soon be bringing Turok 2 (first released in 1998) back from the dead.

Behind The Scenes Of Uncharted 4’s Big E3 Demo

Uncharted 4’s showing at E3 2015 was one of the most memorable in recent years, Naughty Dog showing off one of the game’s centrepiece moments, a car chase through the streets of Madagascar. Here’s a quick look at how some of that came together (along with other animated moments from the game). They’re part of…

Hand-Made Bastion Figure Actually Transforms

For reasons unknown, there are no Overwatch action figures. I want there to be Overwatch action figures. Especially Bastion ones that transform like this hand-made effort. Made by master Korean craftsman Truxton, it’s 100% wood, fully posable and 100% transformable at scale, which is testament as much to Blizzard’s character design (they didn’t cut any…
