Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Bayonetta Everywhere
Nintendo thought it was a good idea to add Platinum’s M-rated action heroine to the Super Smash Bros. roster. I agree with this decision. In fact, I think she should be in every game. Let’s put her there! Why shouldn’t Bayonetta, the witch who is technically naked most of the time, be in every game…

Xbox One testers for Tom Clancy’s The Division signed an NDA agreeing not to publish screens or video footage from the alpha. That trick never works. Hit up NeoGAF for links to more footage and mirrors of that footage should this footage get pulled. Footage.

Look At World Of Final Fantasy. Just Look At It.
Look at tiny Yuna. Look at her giant, adorable head. You think she’s worried about what Tidus is up to right now? She probably is, and that just makes her even more adorable. I can’t even handle tiny Lightning and tiny Faris. I just can’t. In a new trailer released for the annual Jump Festa…

The First Five Minutes Of The Newly-Remastered Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
One of the greatest games to ever grace the Nintendo 64 has returned in the form of a 1080p PC remaster of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It’s just as ridiculous as I remember it, only now it’s bigger.

Star Citizen‘s Procedurally-Generated Planet Tech Seems Pretty Impressive
A recently-released Star Citizen video demonstrates the game’s upcoming procedurally-generated planet system by zooming out from the pupil of a pilot all the way into space. Yeah yeah, No Man’s Sky called, they want their planet-making tech back, but in the realistic (well, as realistic as it can be) universe of the crowd-funded Star Citizen,…

Badland 2 Wastes No Time Getting To The Good Parts
This week developer Frogmind released the follow up to the deservedly award-winning Badland. Unlike the original, this one is amazing right from the start.

This week, we see Miles play a pivotal role in the…

Square Enix has just put a new Kingdom Hearts trailer that showcases the series’ upcoming 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue release and ends with a couple of minutes’ worth of Kingdom Hearts III gameplay.

Of The Eight Trailers Before Star Wars, The Slowest One Got The Best Reaction
People in the movie theater where I saw Star Wars The Force Awakens on Thursday night started grumbling by the time the fifth or sixth trailer rolled out. Each green preview screen was another delay.

Star Wars The Force Awakens Deserves A Better Disney Infinity Play Set
While Star Wars mobile games are going crazy with The Force Awakens content, the only way to play through bits of the new movie on your game console is via Disney Infinity 3.0—and it feels very familiar.
