Lego’s 2017 Holiday Set Is Just Waiting For A Train

It’s that time of the year again, when adult Lego fans with children old enough not to destroy everything they touch find out what they’ll be adding to their Lego holiday display this season. Last year we got an amazing train. This year we get a place for it to stop. The Winter Village Station…

Square Enix Teases Final Fantasy XV On Switch

Alright, well, as near as I can figure, Square Enix said something about Final Fantasy XV and Nintendo Switch today at Gamescom. It was less than an announcement but more substantial than a routine “we’re thinking about it.” Here’s what happened. During a livestream from the Twitch booth at Gamescom in which FFXV producer Hajime…

Dragon Ball FighterZ Makes Even Expected Characters Look Excellent

Hopefully it’s not surprising to hear that the next big Dragon Ball Z fighting game will have Piccolo, Krillin, and the Androids in it. They’ve been rumored for a while now, plus they’re core characters of the franchise. Even so, watching them in action is awesome. The latest trailer for Dragon Ball FighterZ formally introduces…

SNES Classic Pre-Orders Go Up In The Middle Of The Night, Sell Out Immediately

Nintendo’s new retro console, the SNES Classic, will come with a Rewind feature that allows you to go back in time when you screw up. It’s too bad you can’t use it to jump back to 4am and pre-order an SNES Classic. Last night, perhaps deciding that the NES Classic wasn’t enough of a debacle,…

We Played SNES Classic And It Has Rewind Now

I tried out the SNES Classic, and found that Nintendo has made some small but meaningful improvements to it over the NES Classic. I have no idea why, since the thing would sell out in 30 seconds anyway even if it were covered in rusty needles. Instead, it has a few nice new features, including…

Arms’ Next Fighter Is A Candy Clown

Nintendo announced that the pantaloon-wearing candy clown Lola Pop will be Arms’ newest fighter today. She’s got a totally bonkers (and hilarious) outfit more fitting a psychedelic first birthday party than hand-to-hand combat, and looks marvelous. Following Arms’ trend of eccentric character designs, Nintendo explains that she’s a “a well-traveled clown with a personality as…

Hyper Clack Retro-Style Mechanical Keyboard Review: Not So Super

Hyperkin is a company known for its retro emulation consoles and affordable gaming accessories. It is not a company known for high quality mechanical keyboards, and the Super Nintendo-inspired Hyper Clack is not going to change that. The Hyper Clack mechanical keyboard is a retro-styled input device designed to appeal to the old school gamer,…

Cough Drop Flavored Kit Kats Exist In Japan

Of course they do. Japan is famous for interesting Kit Kat flavors, and this latest one might be the most unusual one yet. Last year, for example, sake flavored Kit Kats were released in Japan. They were made with sake power and contained 0.8 percent alcohol. Starting this week and available for a limited time,…

The Avengers 4 Movie Set Doesn’t Really Look Like Japan

The upcoming Avengers movie is currently filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Recent set photos reveal what appears to be a Tokyo setting. It doesn’t quite hit its target. Here’s why. The set isn’t the worst effort at recreating Japan in the USA, and it looks more like what someone might think Shibuya, Harajuku or Akihabara look…

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition Announced

Square Enix is making FFXV all adorable and pocket-sized with an iOS and Android take on the adventures of Noctis and his buddies. Slated for this fall, the cuted-up Final Fantasy XV retelling lets players explore the world of Eos with the characters of FFXV through ten different episodes. The first one is free. You…
