Nintendo isn’t exactly known for its on-point social features. But based on what they’ve shared on Mario Maker thus far, it really seems like they’re going to nail it this time. Yesterday, Nintendo held a Treehouse stream event where they described some of the features we can expect in their upcoming game where you can…
If you’ve seen recent Street Fighter V footage from E3 you’ve probably noticed something a little different about Chun Li. People are remarking that because Chun Li’s breasts act as if they were made out of jello, Street Fighter has gone “full Dead or Alive” in the upcoming sequel. This is not actually the case,…
What’s the dollar to bottlecap conversion rate, you think? Yesterday, Reddit user thefatch1cken shared pictures of a 11 pounds of bottlecaps: The owner of these caps claims that they were collected over several years, and after Fallout 4 was announced, this person put them all in a box and shipped them to Bethesda with a…
This weekend, Smash Bros. got a free Miiverse stage that imports posts created by players. You probably see where this is going, don’t you? Since the release of the new stage, I’ve seen nothing but ridiculous screenshots showing horrible or hilarious pictures that the new stage has picked up. Scrumplet has a montage of some…
That’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s a wonderful, wonderful thing. Today, Nintendo released a new trailer for Genei Ibun Roku, otherwise known as Fire Emblem x SMT. The trailer is ridiculous, in the best way possible. You’ve got teens, you’ve got idols, singing, and dancing, you’ve got mythical creatures, you’ve got fashion, you’ve…
Last night before hitting the sack I set two alarms. One so that I could wake up this morning and come to work, like I always do. Another, so I could wake up at 4am: that’s when my vault dweller was supposed to return home. Alright, I’ll admit it. I’m…kind of addicted to Bethesda’s new…
Did you know: old-school Mario games were drawn out on graph paper by designers like Shigeru Miyamoto? It’s pretty cool! During Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event, Miyamoto shared graphs and original design docs of older Super Mario games. It’s amazing. You can watch Nintendo explain the older design process here, around the :38 second mark. Or, if…
Nintendo is not bringing a proper Animal Crossing to their home console, but, rather, a virtual board game supporting up to four players. Each player uses an Amiibo. Think Mario Party, but with Animal Crossing characters. So, it’s way, way cuter. The game will be out this holiday season. A glimpse of the Amiibo coming:…
Sony closed its E3 presser tonight with some familiar faces: Nathan Drake and Sully in Uncharted 4. And boy, does the game look gorgeous. You can’t marvel at the sights in the demo for too long, though—soon enough, Nathan and Sully find themselves shooting their way through a market as all hell breaks lose. A…
Street Fighter V has a PS4 beta coming July 23rd, along with two new characters: Cammy and Birdie, according to Sony’s E3 presser tonight.
Bombshell: The Last Guardian is still alive, and it’s coming out on the PS4 in 2016. The practically mythical game was shown off today during Sony’s E3 press conference. It’s a damn miracle. The Last Guardian, as you may already know, has had a troubled development cycle. Team Ico, the developers, originally announced the game…
Good news: The Division, Ubisoft’s tactical Tom Clancy game, now has a release date: March 8, 2016. Better yet, Ubisoft debuted 5 minutes of new footage that give us a sense of just how savage playing with other Division players might be. Here we watch a squad go into something called a Dark Zone. They…
Gears of War Ultimate Edition, the GoW remaster on the Xbox One, is a very pretty game—especially when compared to the original. This is probably not surprising! However, it’s still nice to see just how much the graphics have improved. Here are a collection of comparison pictures for your viewing/chainsawing pleasure. Left screenshot is Xbox…
Minecraft is a game we’ve seen countless times before. And yet! The virtual reality demo showcased by Microsoft today makes the game almost seem brand new. You can start a new world on any surface you’d like—as you can see in the GIF above. Magical. Here’s the full demo. The amazing stuff starts at the…
Rare calls it their most ambitious game yet: introducing Sea of Thieves, an Xbox One/PC game all about being a pirate. That means: sailing, ships, swashbuckling sea captains. The best parts of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, but playable with your friends, judging from the footage debuted today. Awesome! Some deets: You’ll have access to land…
Dean Hall, one of the minds behind DayZ, debuted a game called Ion during Microsoft’s E3 presser. It’ll come to Xbox One’s early access program, too. Have a look. From the YouTube description: “ION” is an emergent narrative massively-multiplayer online game in which players will build, live in and inevitably die in huge floating galactic…
Any mods created on the PC version of Fallout 4? Xbox One players will be able to play that too, Todd Howard announced during Microsoft’s E3 presser. Wow! Howard didn’t share any specifics, but regardless of how the modding situation works, it does mean that console players will get a taste of just how bonkers…
Microsoft kicked off today’s presser with some footage of Halo 5’s story, and it looks like a blast. You’ll control two squads: one by Master Chief, and one by Locke, the Spartan that is hunting down the chief. Both will let you experience drop in/drop out 4-player co-op. Here is a short gameplay clip that…
We saw a lot of new Fallout 4 footage tonight, but the most impressive bit has to be a new robust system that lets you craft the environment around you, essentially letting you play house, dress-up, and handyman. Almost anything you see, you can rebuild and retool. You can scrap items in the world for…
Bethesda closed their E3 presentation with a bang today: a demo of Fallout 4, which shows us a whole lotta gameplay footage. What you’re seeing in that GIF above? That’s the character creator. You’ll be able to play as a lady too, of course. Here’s the start of the demo, which starts out in pre-war…
