Retro Japanese Game Cartridges Make For Excellent Art

Twitter user Sakura is famous for two things: having a big collection of old Famicon cartridges and using those cartridges to create cool retro style art. Since various companies made Famicom cartridges in different colors, they’re perfect for this. Here is my favorite. Amazing, no? Kotaku East is your slice of Asian internet culture, bringing…

Forsen Can’t Get Away From Stream Snipers, Even In Private Tournaments

Most stream snipers follow (and mess with) their streamer of choice once or twice for laughs. Then they get on with their lives. This one, however, plays for keeps.

Street Fighter Gets Unofficially Ported To The Real World

Abhishek Singh, creator of that very cool first-person Mario experience for the HoloLens, is back with a home-made version of Street Fighter that projects the action to anywhere you can point your phone screen at.

The Tiniest Lil’ Nintendo Switch Game Cases

Reader Mahir, who last year designed a bunch of full-size Switch cases for downloadable titles, has come back in 2018 with something different. And much smaller.

The Curse of the Pharaohs is the second of Assassin’s Creed Origin’s expansions, and it’s out now. It’s big, and beautiful, and already a lot more fun than theThe Hidden Ones. We’ll have more to say on it once we’ve survived a few more battles against Murderous Undead Pharoahs.

COD: WWII Adds Nightmare Leprechauns For St. Patrick’s Day

Call of Duty: WWII’s March 13 update lets you hunt leprechauns, and it is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.

If you’re feeling lucky, you can try to score…

This Puzzle Platformer Is Giving Me Mario 2 Flashbacks

Uurnog Uurnlimited feels like a knock-off Super Mario Bro 2. It’s a blocky platform puzzler where you pick up and throw everything, from enemies to bombs. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but its freeform approach to puzzle design means that you’re able to come up with your own solutions. It’s a sneaky little…
