Two controllers! We just got the elusive SNES Mini from Nintendo, and surprise, it’s adorable. This tiny little thing might not have a working cartridge slot or eject button but it’s easy to pick up and throw around — not that you’d want to do that given how rare this thing already is. The retro style manual (which is actually a fold-out poster) is a nice touch too, as is the included HDMI cable....

Techno Tentacles Publisher Focus Home Interactive has dropped a foreboding new trailer forThe Kraken, the next DLC expansion joiningThe Surge 2’sbrand of heavy metal mayhem in just a week’s time. The Krakenis a new story chapter set outside Jericho City, and takes place on the VBS Krakow, a decommissioned warship transformed into a getaway community for the wealthy. Of course, it doesn’t take too long before everything goes to pot, and soon players will be heading into battle against scores of robotic pirates, wayward security droids, and an all-new boss character....

But you can’t have it You may eventually come to form a love-hate relationship with Deacon’s bike as you trudge further intoDays Gone, but even when the going gets tough, it’s still a cool-looking ride. Taking a page from a recentDevil May Cry 5promotional stunt, PlayStation Nordic assembled a team to fix up a real motorcycle and deck it out to mirror its video-game counterpart. They put together a video detailing the escapade....

Capcom attempted to revive theDarkstalkersseries in 2013 with abundle of HD remasters. It didn’t go well. The publisher used the project as a litmus test, hoping strong sales would encourage the company’s money men to bankroll a full sequel. But the opposite happened. Fans had little interest in the gussied up Sega Saturn games, which prompted Capcom tolay the series to rest. Of course, there’s still a vocal contigent of fans out there asking for moreDarkstalkers, one of whom recently reached out to Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono, asking if a new game is on the horizon....

‘Cheap licensed games aren’t going to make it anymore.’ In case you haven’t kept up withTHQ’s bankruptyandprocess of selling off assets, here’s a well researched and edited video that sums things up succinctly. The video comes from George Weidman (bunnyhopshow), who goes over recent events at a quick pace without slipping up on words or leaving out any salient details. “What this failure represents over all though, is that cheap licensed games aren’t going to make it anymore....

A real life monster You might have read about the really shittyact of swatting, or calling in fake threats to the police prompting a SWAT team to arrive at someone’s home unannounced. The crime started to gain popularity in 2013 when multiple celebrities were swatted, promptingCalifornia’s governor to sign an anti-swatting bill into law. One of the worst offenders, a 17-year-old from Canada, was recently nabbed by the law and has now pleaded guilty to 23 charges, while smiling in court....

Would you prefer Tingle or Link? When I heard that Yacht Club games‘shoveled’close to a quarter million dollars into creatingamiibo-specific contentforShovel Knight, I figured that was end of whatever chances the game had for seeing a cameo from a Nintendo character. Shovel Knightco-creator Sean Velasco wasclearly crazyabout the idea of Link or Tingle doing battle with the blue burrower last year, and the team has gone to great lengths to make sure there are some cool console-specific bonuses for each version of the game, but to hope forShovel Knighton the Wii U to get co-op play, amiibo training,andan appearance from a Nintendo icon seemed like a bit much....

We just got two supports [Image] After its initial launch, Blizzard has gone into overdrive to address the support meta inOverwatchwith its add-on cast members. While we started with the offense-minded Ana, we eventually got Sombra, Moira, and Brigitte (on top of Doomfist and Orisa), the three of which are supports. With Brigitte being so freshly introduced (and not playable in competitive for a bit), it’s tough to divine where the meta is going to swing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t build your own personal wishlist of what you’d want out of the game....

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down I could not be more excited aboutDark Souls IIIand the return of lead designer Miyazaki to the series. While I lovedDark Souls II(it was one of my favorite games of 2014), it felt like a very well executed and difficult adventure game, not the transcendental experience of the originalDark Souls. With the man himself back in the captain’s chair, I’m expecting big things fromDark Souls III....

If you’re looking to build up a strong party inWuthering Waves, you’re going to need to ascend your party members and for this, you need certain materials. One such material, Wintry Bell, is required to ascend Aalto, Yangyang, andSanhua. Ascending party members is vital as you progress and if you want to survive tougher fights, as it allows you to level up characters and increase their stats. Remember that once you’ve ascended your party members and increased their maximum level, you’ll also need to verify that their weapons are also leveled up....

Nothing clicks together quite like a goodTalescast Today is a good day for theTales Ofseries. It marks the fifth anniversary ofTales of Berseria, the most recent major entry in the franchise, andthere’s also a demo outfor the upcomingTales of Arise, which is now only a few weeks away. As I’ve talked to friends about this game, I’ve heard a similar refrain over and over: some variation of, “I haven’t really ever played aTalesgame,” or “this will be my firstTalesgame....

This might be my choice Gamers who typically play casters in MMOs (hi!) will be pleased to see these screenshots of the Esper, the newest class reveal for the upcoming MMOWildStar. You can see them doing their thing in the gallery below, and it looks like a heavy emphasis is put on magic cutlery for their auto-attacks. WildStarwill employa rather interesting MMO payment model, where you can either pay a monthly fee of $15, or buy “C....
