Half of Rain World’s two-man development team took to Sony’s PlayStation Blog today to talk more about the game. Joar Jakobsson describes the once industrial landscape battered into grimy disrepair by constant rain as an ecosystem to be survived rather than defeated. Years in the making, Rain World is still due out sometime in 2017.

LEGO builder Tim Schwalfenberghas outdone himself here, building a The Last Of Us diorama that covers an entire city block, both indoors and out. Via Brothers Brick, Schwalfenberg says he used over 20,000 bricks, and that it took him over 100 hours to put together. The diorama measures 100cmx60cm and is absolutely loaded with detail,…

25 Years Ago, Mega Man 4 Changed The Series Forever

Mega man 4 was the first game in the series to let you charge up your shots. Capcom called this new ability the Mega Buster, an upgraded version of Mega Man’s blaster that was first introduced into the world 25 years ago today. The new gun fundamentally changed how people approached the game in ways…

Crazy Stunt Brings Rocket League To Grand Theft Auto V

That…is not how cars are suppose to work. Or bridges, for that matter. Or physics. But we’re not here to worry about that. We’re here to check out this GTA V stunt video by EvolveStunting, and in particular, the bridge trick I’ve set the clip below to auto-play at.

GameStop just announcedthat the company has “reserved all of its first allotment of Nintendo Switch systems”.

Titanfall Mobile Game Dies Before It Truly Lived 

Remember the mobile collectible card game Titanfall spin-off we told you about back in September? Well, forget it. It’s dead. Titanfall: Frontline is cancelled, it’s closed beta shutting down next week. Why? Seems like it just didn’t have that Titanfall zest. Or at least that’s what it sounds like what is being said in the…

Let’s Talk About Princess Zelda’s New Look

While she’s worn more than one outfit over the years, Princess Zelda’s pink dress is her most well-known sartorial choice. In the new trailer for Breath of the Wild from last night’s Nintendo Switch presentation, we got a closer look at Zelda’s outfit in the game, as well as the Amiibo accompanying the game. She’s…

RIP Miiverse

Miiverse, Nintendo’s special social network that debuted on the Wii U, will not be coming back for the Switch, VentureBeat reports. I’m heartbroken. Miiverse was genuinely my favorite thing about the Wii U, and I was really hoping Nintendo might revamp it for the Switch. Alas. Miiverse was too good for this world; always making…

A Better Look At Snipperclips, The Switch’s Co-Op Puzzle Game

Snipperclips is a collaborative puzzle game for the Nintendo Switch where you cut up your friends to fit into shapes. [UPDATE-4:03: I thought the game was called Snipperclippers. It is actually called Snipperclips.] In Snipperclips, the aim is to solve puzzles by cutting the paper characters into shapes. By playing solo or with up to…

Nintendo Switch: The Size Comparison

The Nintendo Switch is slightly smaller but significantly heavier than the Wii U gamepad. The Switch’s JoyCons are tinier than a Game Boy Micro. And the whole system can fit in your back pocket… sort of. Today at the Switch event in Manhattan, Kotaku boss Stephen Totilo took a whole bunch of size comparison shots.…

Blizzard Banning Players Who ‘Nuke’ Overwatch Matches

Overwatch cheaters on PC have a new trick up their sleeves. It’s called “nuking,” and it’s essentially a targeted form of a DDOS attack that slows matches to a crawl, sometimes to the point that players can’t even report the infraction. This form of cheating doesn’t appear to be as widespread as, say, aimbotting yet,…

The Best Quest In Dragon Age: Origins Was All About Dwarves and Politics

The Dragon Age games have captured my imagination like few other series have ever managed. Every quest is a roller coaster full of tough choices. For Origins, the best quest involved dwarven politics and a magical anvil. We take a closer look in this video. Transcript: I’m a huge fan of the Dragon Age series.…

Hands On With The Nintendo Switch

The first thing you notice about the Switch, Nintendo’s sleek new portable console, is how small the controllers are. Each JoyCon (lol) is roughly four inches, or about the size of a Kotaku news editor’s palm. Compared to, say, the Wiimote, they’re downright tiny. Yet they’re also surprisingly comfortable, not just when you stick them…

Who’s Excited About The Return Of Bomberman?

A new Zelda at launch is nice, but I’m much more excited about the idea of going online with my Nintendo Switch and blowing the hell out of seven other players on a grid-based playfield. It’s so good to see you again, Bomberman.  Launching with the Nintendo Switch on March 3, Super Bomberman R is…

The Internet Reacts To The Nintendo Switch Presentation

Last night’s Nintendo Switch presentation was our first look at how the Switch works, as well as some of the games that will be on the console. Lets see how the Internet feels about all this. The announcement that got everyone the most hype wasn’t Zelda—it was New Donk City. But that isn’t to say…

The Nintendo Switch Already Has A Promising Esport

I’m seeing a lot of negativity out there about the Switch’s launch line-up, but I really don’t know what people are talking about. The 1-2 Switch is gonna be a system seller, and it’s going to be because of this amazing cow milking mini-game. Maybe you missed it last night—the official 1-2 Switch trailer only…
