And they have PLENTY of bubblegum Developer Gung Ho Online have released a trailer for a brand new game, coming next year to Nintendo Switch.Ninjalamixes Player vs Player fighting action with acrobatic parkour elements. From the new trailer, which you can check out below, we can see that the game will see cutesy streetwise characters engage in a running battle throughout a colourful city, with an aesthetic clearly designed to bag theSplatoon/ARMScrowd....

Zuh? As Nintendo continues to remind us that life is fleeting, andso is the 3DS eShop, they just happened to pop in this week and tell us that not everything is going to go the distance. In fact, while the 3DS eShop is set to be destroyed on August 04, 2025, at least one game will be removed earlier than that:Fire Emblem Fates. Yep, theFire Emblem FateseShop version’s days are numbered....

Digital game sales are cool. You know, that fairly basic industry practice that Valve, Sony, and Microsoft have been doing for years? Well it looks like Nintendois going to join in on the fun, and offer a weekly sale on “select games” on the eShop — just like theyrecently had withMario Land, this is presumably a “one game a week” type of deal. In the short-term, the only problem I see with this is that Nintendo isn’t exactly transparent when it comes to telling people about special offers....

Old favorites, unreleased prototypes and chiptune Erasure I’ve been tooling and retooling a list of the most influential indie games of the past ten years, and I don’t think it’s ever going to be done. It started with a list of 10 games (Super Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, Undertale, PUBG, etc) but that perspective seemed both too small and too obvious. Then the total count jumped to 20, including games likeDys4iaandThe Stanley Parable....

May theHidden Fortressbe with you on this, the fourth of May! Or watch your favorite Akira Kurosawa flick. Or pull pud to Antique Roadshow, I don’t care; just don’t mention a certain sci-fi series. Kyle, Darren, Brett and I are recording Podtoid today, a follow up to last week’sPodtoid 335: Bad Bedfellow. I imagine we’ll talk about the secret government operation to make elephants remember the Alamo as well as video games....

ThePokémonCompany is remaining extremely tight-lipped about what will be showcased in the new presentation, but it seems a lot of Trainers out there are expecting the reveal ofthe rumored Switch remakesof 2006 Nintendo DS releasesPokémonDiamondandPokémonPearl....

A New South Wales police commissioner has blamed videogames for knife crime in Australia, claiming that games incentivize murder, vehicular damage, and rape. “How can it not affect you if you’re a young adolescent growing up in an era where to be violent is almost praiseworthy, where you engage in virtual crime on a daily basis and many of these young people (do) for hours and hours on end?” the commish askedTelegraph Australia....

May I have this grind? Skateboarding is my escape from life’s chaos. Whenever I feel stressed out, my skateboard is always there as a reliable means of much-needed relief. After countless hours skating, a few hundred major falls, and a handful of broken bones, my skateboard and I have become inseparable. Because skateboarding has always been my form of meditation it’s wickedly ironic thatProc Skater 2016had me so frustrated earlier. It’s a free game developed by Joseph Parker and Ryan Jones that manages to take everything I normally appreciate about skateboarding — the muscle memory of a familiar trick and the fine-tuned turning of worn-in trucks — and toss it to the wayside....

I’m really missing those old multiplayer Mercs days Resident Evil 5is one of my favorite multiplayer action experiences ever. Not only is the main game a blast with a co-op partner: its version of Mercenaries is fully co-op as well. While it does keep the spirt of the originalRE4Mercs, sadly,theResident Evil 4remakedoesn’t follow in the footsteps ofResident Evil 5/6(andRevelations’raid mode), and is just single player. Resident Evil 4remake’s Mercenaries Mode only supports solo play After installing and booting up the Mercs module, there’s no option to select multiplayer play of any kind: either split-screen local or online play....

It shoots tunes from the game with full wub power. How great is that? This $99 edition also comes with an 8-inch Johnny Gat statue and a pocket-sized Dubstep Doomsday Button to drop that drop wherever and whenever you’d like. Other in-game bonuses include a Scream Eagle VTOL, an Uncle Sam suit, and the ‘Merica gun....

At the Tuesday Direct Super Smash Bros. Ultimatehas only unveiled one total character so far from its Fighters Pass, and that’s Joker, because Piranha Plant doesn’t count. As promised, said pass will eventually grant access to five fighters (with five accompanying stages and extra music tracks), so we have four to go. With Joker’s release on April 17, we’re approaching the two-month anniversary of no new information on the pass, butSmashboss Sakurai says that is changingthis week....

As well as Stadia Back in 2019 Sega unleashedJudgmentout into the world: a spinoff of sorts for theYakuzaseries that focused on detective Takayuki Yagami. It was a success for the publisher, which I’m sure came as a relief given that it probably seemed like a gamble at the time: detaching itself from theYakuzaname. Either way it paid off, doubly so given that Sega is giving it a new lease on life very soon....
