Pokémon Uranium, one of the more interesting attempts by fans to build an all-new Pokémon game, is finally finished! We wrote about it a few years back, not just because of the length of time it’s taken the team to put it together, but for how ambitious the whole project is. It has a tropical…

The $25 digital pass, which Square announced last night, will give you access to the following hilariously titled DLC packs: DLC 1: Booster Pack (Working Title)…
Jamel Wilkins says he Smashes with honor and dignity. And yet, for over a month, he was marooned in what players are calling “Smash Hell,” apparently an alternate server on which soft-banned Super Smash Bros. 4 players are forced to play with each other, regardless of their innocence. The troubles started when Wilkins picked up…
In the years leading up to the much-hyped release of No Man’s Sky, which launched yesterday, director Sean Murray talked several times about players being able to spot one another in the wild. So why hasn’t that happened yet? Yesterday, two No Man’s Sky players found that they were in the same region of the…
Spencer Kern, a man so handy we’ve featured his work before, has seen people’s Pokémon Go battery woes and decided to do something about it. Using a combination of woodwork, 3D printing and some electronics, he’s built this very lovely Pokécenter-themed charging station. The Pokécenter shell is hiding a solar generator, which stores enough juice…
Track: Lonely Soul | Artist: UNKLE (with Richard Ashcroft) | Album: Psyence Fiction Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
Damn, that stuffed bear is effing huge. San-X is once again rolling out a life-sized version of its popular lazy bear character Rilakkuma. The plushie is 5.4 feet tall and weighs 19 pounds. Which means in real life Rilakkuma is not some small, cute bear, but more like this: The plushie is priced at 66,434…
Next February, Matt Damon stars in a movie centered around the Great Wall of China. According to the film’s director Zhang Yimou, there’s a reason for that and it’s not whitewashing. This comes in the wake of the surrounding decision to cast Scarlett Johansson as augmented-cybernetic human Motoko Kusanagi in The Ghost in the Shell…
DeNA, the Japanese company making upcoming mobile apps with Nintendo, today said it “can’t update you today about progress on our work with Nintendo.” According to WSJ, work is continuing, but DeNA doesn’t currently have any info to share.
Cyberpunk manga Akira debuted in 1982—over thirty years ago. The manga, and subsequent anime, are set against the backdrop of the forthcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Er, I mean the 2020 Neo-Tokyo Olympics. The impending games and Neo-Tokyo Olympic Stadium do factor into the plot (for example, Akira is housed in a cryogenic chamber below the…

Jannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova and Ardsami know what the kids like in their Overwatch fiction. It’s butts. They like butts. We’ve seen Vinogradova’s Widowmaker before; it’s one of the very best pieces of Overwatch cosplay on the planet. Here’s a new shot of it:
This is Orwell, an upcoming PC game that puts you in the shoes of Big Brother, spying on your unsuspecting populace. For their own good, of course.
Track: Our Hearts Of Ruin | Artist: Blue Sky Black Death | Album: Noir Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
While he’s one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants. Of course, this kind of quality is no surprise: it’s by Julian…
Such never dying. Wow. UPDATE:
When I opened an email about a “Transformers cosplay fan film”, I feared the worst. A CG-filled compilation of cringe, with bad Stan Bush covers. Nope. Turned out it was the opposite. GENERATION 1 is the perfect celebration of a corny cartoon, it’s giant heads and emphatic gestures nailing the goofy tone of the original…
When I reviewed Cities: Skylines, I called it “a city-builder’s dream”. Remember, though, that you’re not limited to building just cities, as this relaxing timelapse video of a golf course being built shows.
Do you miss The Settlers? Northgard looks to be scratching a very similar itch. It’s coming to PC later this year
Got a sweet Overwatch strat for you today: never cheat. In this video posted by KiD x, a top-200 ranked Korean Overwatch player streams with an aimbot, a type of hack that essentially aims for you. It does not end well. They don’t even try to hide their bot’s lifeless mechanical maneuvering, and then, at…
