Kirby Kirby Kirby that’s a name you should know Watch out for high gusts, because Good Smile Company has revealed that not only will theKirby Nendoroidbe receiving a re-release, but that he’ll be joined by a brand newIce Kirby Nendoroid. The new Ice Kirby will essentially be a base repaint of the regular Kirby, and includes the same face parts, but will come with a variety of new accessories. These accessories include not only an ice crown, ice breath, and ice effects for skating, but other Kirby abilities: the umbrella for Parasol, the bandana for Fighter, and stars for the Star Bullet ability, which is Kirby spitting out an inhaled object and I had no idea this even had a name to begin with....

The Last Starbrawler Back in my day, when trailers and game ads showed players making real intense faces at the screen while clutching their controllers, it was because a game was TOO XTREME for a normal facial expression. Now it seems that such faces are the reserve of the growing genre of viciously competitive local multiplayer titles, of whichIn Space We Brawlis the latest. Coming soon to PS4 and PS3,In Space We Brawllooks to be a four-person space-battling game, but to be honest I had a hard time getting a look at the way the game played with all the intense gaming happening on every player’s face....

But you might recall someone telling you that you should go into this one blind, because this seemingly innocuous dating sim is hiding its true nature just beneath the surface....

Gold star to anyone who says Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure Back in middle school, I remember my classmates saying Pokémon was just a fad. It was 1998, school had just started up again, and the anime had just started up in preparation for the arrival ofPokémon RedandBluein North America. I didn’t have a Game Boy at the time and couldn’t stand anime, so I didn’t really pay attention. But one of my classmates fell hard for the series, being the only guy I knew who carried a Game Boy Pocket in his backpack at high school so he could beGoldandSilver....

Asyou might recall, Infinity Ward decided to cut cooperative play fromModern Warfare 2‘s story mode and opted to create the Spec Ops mode to satisfy the need for friendly shoot-the-bad-dudes action. IW’s Robert Bowling has once again gone on the record to defend the decision. Campaign co-op “ruined the experience,” heexplained to VG247. Bowling says “it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything we’d spent so long crafting....

A battle for the ages The relationship between movies and videogames is quite the interesting one. Although they are separate entities, both movies and videogames have profoundly influenced each other over the years. Outside of the obvious adaptations of movies into videogames (and vice versa), or series likeUnchartedthat revel in their love of classic cinematic experiences, there have been many more connections between the two pieces of popular entertainment. Take specific scenes, for example....

‘Interactive Adventures’ Taking a page from Telltale’s recent book (where it’s less of a puzzle adventure game and more just choosing things), Netflix is getting into the modern adventure racket. This just announced this week that they’re starting with the children angle with two projects —Puss in Book(coming June 20) andBuddy Thunderstruck: The Maybe Pile(coming July 14). It remains to be seen if this is going to be an ongoing “thing,” but for now, Netflix is getting games....

Drifting over to Europe For a while, Nintendo kind of took a silent approach to the “Joy-Con drift” Switch hardware issues. Eventually, the number of impacted consumers hit critical mass and they had to respond: by offering free repairs. Although Europe and the UK have done this on a case-by-case basis (and not necessarily out of warranty): that’s changing now with a grander, more sweeping statement on the Nintendo EU support pages....

Dragon of the Northwill have new story elements relating to the “One-Eyed Dragon,” as shown in this cutscene footage, along with the odachi, a far-reaching new weapon type....
