Dust off that bazooka Wormsis a franchise that certainly holds many memories of my formative years. A bunch of friends squeezed around a 486, blasting each other to kingdom come with pixel-perfect long-distance shots, devastating shrapnel grenades, or aStreet Fighter-style Dragon Punch when the conflict got up close and personal. Legendary British developer Team 17 is hoping to capture that same feeling of friendly rivalry withWorms Rumble,the latest release in the long-running strategy franchise, now available to purchase on PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam....

Let’s take a trip down Rabbids lane Miiversemay be deadbut it’s not gone. Nintendo shut down its bizarre and lovable social network service last month, and in the lead-up to that closure, app developer Drastic Actionsgot to workarchiving as much content as possible for posterity. The open-source end result,Archiverse, is staggering — both in its breadth and its ease of use. It works just as you’d hope. You can dig up user accounts, posts, replies, and whole game communities....

Yep, a dock for their Switch This little old postfrom Littlewolf128 hit me like a ton of bricks. Yeah, I definitely want a GameCube dock for my Switch, especially when the GameCube controller ports actually work by way of the GC to Switch adapter! Digging into the comments, it seems as if Littlewolf128 taught themselves to solder and worked on the project for a little over a month. They claim that it took “just about [$200] in parts, if not more....

Yesterday, Atlus opened the gates on their new Nintendo DS surgery game,Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2. Certain to entertain any reasonable person with a plastic stylus and a dual-screened peripheral, Atlus’ original offering presents the perfect opportunity to practice those imaginary med school skills. Also, unlike the physical realm, patients inUnder the Knife 2cannot sue the surgeon if he accidently uses a laser instead of gauze. If you have been following the series, the game picks up again after that whole GUILT and drawing pentagrams to slow down time thing....

Historically accurate Slack-jawed with eyes of wonder, the great-grandchildren of World War II veteran Clyde Hussley listened closely as he recalled his time with 29thInfantry Division and the day his life was saved thanks to a loot box. Hussley, who was just 19 at the time, explained to the kids that his life would have likely ended on D-Day had he not spent the $3.99 beforehand. “It was a cold and wet morning,” he said, his voice cracked from old age....

You’ve got questions, we’ll pretend we have answers With E3 right around the corner (shoot, I should do laundry), we’re almost at the passing of the torch of video game seasons. The pre-E3 speculation/rumors/predictions season is about to give way to finding out what’s going to actually happen. I kind of like the former more, to be honest. So, before we find out, what are the burning questions on your mind?...

Game developers share their favorite Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro bosses Not every boss out of From Softwareis a winner, but the highlights are some of the best in the biz. The sense of dread, the adrenaline, the eventual payoff — ahh, it’s so good! We’d heard before that From Software president Hidetaka Miyazakihas a soft spotfor the Old Monk — a fight that canflip the scriptwith a bit of player-vs.-player madness in hilarious and frustratingly wonky but often tense ways — and he’s sticking with it....

If the increase in internal Wii U memory had you considering themore expensive Deluxe set, then you’ll be happy to note that the system will allow you to increase its storage capacity yourself — without the need for any weird workarounds. “You can plug in a full-on three terabyte hard drive if you want,” explained Nintendo of America CEO and president Reggie Fils-Aime in an investor Q&A. “I’ll love you as a digital consumer....

Get with the times Ah battle passes: the “natural evolution” of the loot box. But it’s not so natural for a lot of studios, who saw the legislative writing on the wall for loot boxes and decided to give their playerbase another rat race to run. While several big companies are surprisingly doing right by the system,Magic: Arenastill has a long ways to go, even after a number of course corrections....

This game could legitimately be filed under ‘also cocks’ I had the chance recently to sit down and play an early preview build ofLust for Darknesson PC from developer Movie Games, which oddly enough, was also the finalSteam Greenlight game. Successfully Kickstarted last year, the game is set to release later this year on PC and after having survived the preview build… let’s just say I’ve been places and seen things I wish I could forget....

Thanks, Geomancer When you’re playingFinal Fantasy, it’s easy to gravitate towards certain marquee jobs. A White Mage for example. Everyone needs a healer, right? You gotta have a Black Mage too. Oh, and a tank, like a Warrior or a Dark Knight. Maybe a Thief for utility…I think I just built my whole party. Wait, who am I forgetting? Oh right, the most unappreciated class inFinal Fantasyhistory — the Geomancer....
