It’s the same deal as ones in the past Fire Emblem Engageis roughly a month away, and Nintendo is starting to promote it in earnest. Although the announcement kind of came out of nowhere, we’ve gotten quite a few character trailers up until this point: and now you can act them out in scenes of your choice with acrylic standees. Provided that you winthe My Nintendo sweepstakes that was just revealed....
Damn it, Nappa I’m sure this sounds like a broken record at this point, butDragon Ball FighterZjust keeps looking better and better. I’m hooked onCaptain Ginyu and Nappathrough images alone.Bandai Namcouploaded a few screenshots to their Facebook page featuring the duo’s moves, and I’m all in for their huge mouth beams. Nappa can summon Saibamen for a few special moves, and not only can Ginyu use his ultimate body swap technique, but calls in some members of theToku SentaiGinyu Force for a move or two....
It’s been roughly three weeks sinceHelldivers 2got its last major update, but the streak is getting ready to end. Arrowhead hopped on Discord to tease what’s coming with next week’sHelldivers 2update, which will include visible supply lines and more than 100 fixes. The info was delivered in typical Arrowhead fashion: As a meme. Community Manager Thomas “Twinbeard” Petersson was the one to drop the hint, saying “So about that patch, here’s a little something....
Didn’t NHL 3 on 3 Arcade already have big goalies? NHL 17, like all annualized sports games, is committed to a steady stream of gameplay improvements each and every year. I had a chance to see that first-hand at E3 last month, whereI wroteabout some of the more important changes; this new trailer condenses a lot of what I had to say into a snazzy two-minute long sizzle reel. Out of all the tweaks EA Vancouver is making toNHL 17, the most significant ones are probably coming on the defensive end....

Celebrate good times, Nintendo Nintendo isn’t quite at the top of the current-gen hardware pile yet (Sony’s head start has allowed them to reach nearly 90 million PS4s sold, close to the Wii’s lifetime of 101.6 million), but they’re getting there quickly. Just this morning Nintendo shared the news with Destructoid that the Switch is the “fastest-selling US console.” Nintendo gets to this conclusion by clarifying that from March 2017 (its launch) through November 2018, it’s sold “more than 8....
Most games should have this As someone who speaks on this subject of framerates a lot, I’ll break it down again for people who don’t care. For most games, 30fps, or even sub 30fps, may not even matter. For slow adventure titles, puzzle games, or anything else that doesn’t require precision inputs from the player, a lower framerate is manageable. It might cut down on motion blur and other nauseating effects (especially in VR), but games are generally playable....
Chris Avellone on creative freedom and crowdfunding Ever since Double Fine enjoyedmassive success on Kickstarter, eager game developers from all corners have attempted to replicate the success. Hungry upstarts and old veterans alike have seen “crowdfunding” as a way to pursue passions in a market otherwise uninterested in their dreams. Few succeed, but those that do have had outstanding victories. Obsidian is the latest, and possibly greatest, of these achievements. The long-running studio recentlypassed the $3....
‘HK Project’ looks dope I stumbled on “HK Project” today, though thedevelopment bloghas seen intermittent (or intermittens or interkittent) updates since October. And the “cat adventure video game, developed by Koola & Viv” sounds right up my alley (cat).

The launch ofPath of Exile 2and its need for extra support post-launch has caused its developer Grinding Gear Games to fall behind with the standard quarterly cadence ofPath of Exilecontent updates. In an effort to give fans of the original game something to do while they fix up the sequel, GGG has decided to launch an exclusive limited-time roughly one-month-long event called Legacy of Phrecia that introduces 19 alternate ascendancies to the ARPG....
Star Fox ZeroSwitch? Sure Star Fox Zerohasn’t had the best reception for a first-party Nintendo game. ButStar Fox ZeroSwitch? With some tweaks in tow? Maybe that version could salvage its reputation. Speaking to VGC,Zerodeveloper Platinum Games is totally cool with making it happen on Switch. In fact, they are “definitely” interested, and seemed to have a smooth time developing it. Platinum boss Atsushi Inaba explains: “It’s unfortunate that people aren’t able to play older games because they’re locked out of the platform, so of course if possible we’d like to bring over any of those older titles to the newer platforms....

Dreams crushed Despite the constant revamping, re-releasing and returns of various popular fighting games, Sega’s excellent 3D scrapperVirtua Fighterremains in purgatory, having not seen a new release or update since the console port of 2010’sVirtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. Unfortunately, despite Sega’s experimentation with series such asYakuza, Valkyria ChroniclesandShenmue,it appears that the legendary developer/publisher has no plans for anythingVirtua Fighter-related for the foreseeable future. Whilst hyping the reveal ofVF’sAkira Yuki as an assist trophy in the upcomingSuper Smash Bros....
