Custom NES Is Also A Magic Zelda Chest

Spain’s Mako Mod have made a replica of a Legend of Zelda chest. That’s also a working NES. Complete with Triforce that actually levitates Thanks to “an electromagnetic levitation technology, and a ‘near-field’ wireless transmission of electricity”, the Triforce spins around in thin air just like it does in the games.

Blizzard Should Make Overwatch‘s Excellent New Brawl Permanent

Junkenstein’s Revenge marks the first co-op brawl in Overwatch. Fighting against waves of zombie robots and holding off the horde is some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing the game.

Thumper Is The Best Kind Of Music Game

Thumper is the type of rhythm game I’ve been missing: Savage, relentless, and fierce. This game’ll bite your head off, man. Music can be sweet and harmonious. Ah, a lovely flute solo!

One Thing In Mafia III Every Game Should Steal

Mafia III has some issues. Despite that, I’ve been enjoying my time with it. I really like losing myself in the sprawling, multifaceted city of New Bordeaux. The game’s navigation system does a great job of enabling that. If you’ve played an open-world game in the past five years, you know how this usually works:…

Erotic Video Game Will Let Players Get Sexy In The Bathroom

If there’s a bathroom in a video game, you can count on one of two things: a helpful item (such as health), or the ability to flush an otherwise useless toilet.

Girls Fight With Their Butts And Boobs In This Wretched New Anime

When you see a truly awful commercial product, do you ever try to picture the businessmen who made it happen? Who was the suit, on the 11th floor of some glassy, gilded skyscraper, who bypassed several security officers, took an elevator to a sterile meeting room, sat down with his well-groomed colleagues and assistants and…

Aragami Is A Stealth Game That Lets Players Control The Shadows

Lince Works’ new stealth game Aragami is fun but ultimately too clunky of an experience. We slice and dice in this Kotaku Plays!
