Welcome to Morning Music, Kotaku’s daily hangout for folks who love video games and the cool-ass sounds they make. I’m dialing up the obscure-o-meter a bit today with a weird 32-bit launch title from 1994. It’s Tama!
If you had issues with the live-action Monster Hunter trailer, the movie poster might also give you pause.
Back in 2016, when Pokémon Go first launched in Japan, the popular augmented reality game began a collaboration with McDonald’s. As of tomorrow, that will end.
In September 2019, Nintendo revealed that remakes of the first two Famicom Tantei Club games were heading to the Japanese Switch sometime this year. Today, the Kyoto-based game company announced the games would be delayed until 2021.

For the longest time, Call of Duty Modern Warfare on PC has made players set aside increasingly—and hilariously—enormous amounts of hard drive space, up to 232GB at last count. This week, finally, players will be able to free up some of that space.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales has a lot going for it. (Just to note, former Kotaku staffer Evan Narcisse was one of the writers on the game.) But everything—the visuals, the web-slinging, the pedigree of an extremely popular character from an extremely popular cross-media franchise—pales in comparison to one thing: the…

While most of us are just trying to survive the first couple of biomes, the best players can follow a variety of intersecting quest lines in pursuit of several unique endings.

Streets of Kamurocho is Streets of Rage 2 starring Yakuza’s Kiryu and Majima and will be free-to-play on October 17 as part of Sega’s 60th Anniversary event on Steam.
It’s not uncommon for horror games to take off on Twitch. Usually they’re flashes in the pan: The janky P.T.-alike du jour grabs eyeballs for a few days and then quickly descends back into the poorly-lit pits of obscurity. Phasmophobia is different. Sure, it’s inspired by P.T., and yes, it’s janky as all get out, but…
Less fantasy than sci-fi, the new Monster Hunter movie is giving me major Stargate vibes.
First Marvel’s Avengers, now G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout. Over the past couple of months two video games, one a major release and one G.I.
