Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 6 features big names from the community

CaptainSparklez, Stampy Cat, and other people I’ve never heard of After themost recent episode ofMinecraft: Story Mode, I’m looking forward to the new direction for the series. Simple, one-off episodes seem to fit better than an overwrought multi-episode arc. The sixth episode releases next week beginning on June 7, and it has an almostScooby Doofeel to it, taking place in a mansion where there’s a murder mystery going on. Perhaps less exciting for me but more exciting for ultra-hardcoreMinecraftfans is the inclusion of several notableMinecraftYouTubers and streamers as cast members in the episode....

Monster Hunter Stories takes the series in an entirely different direction

Ride or die In a lot of ways,Monster Hunter Storiesdoesn’t necessarily feel likeMonster Hunter. It shouldn’t; it’s different. TheMonster Hunterseries that has grown an immense following basks in constant action and team-oriented gameplay.Storieseschews all that for a more traditional role-playing game experience, yet it’s not hard to imagine it fitting right alongside its brethren with regard to popularity. Storiesis a turn-based RPG with an emphasis on riding monsters rather than hunting them....

My collection gently weeps: Super Mario Maker 2 will apparently lack amiibo support

No Waluigi? One of the absolute best parts of the originalSuper Mario Makerwas going through your amiibo collection and seeingwhich new characters you unlock. Sure you could earn them normally through gameplay, but I loved the idea of slapping my Waluigi figure against the controller and playing as him right away. Much to the chagrin of amiibo owners and to the joy of everyone else,Super Mario Maker 2will lack these features: at least according to a rep’s statement to GameXplain....

Nintendo reportedly delays NX production to add VR

Device has a screen, Nintendo cuts manufacturing by 10 million units Nintendo’s next console, code named “NX,” was meant to go into mass production in the middle of this year, which, incidentally, we are in. It’s June! Holy shit! But this process has been delayed into “early 2017,” according toDigitimessources.

Of course there’s a Ridley amiibo, and Daisy is getting one too

Smash Smash Bros. Ultimate brings the toys After Nintendo’s big Direct we moved on to my favorite part of E3 (kind of not joking) — amiibo reveals. During the post-stream Sakurai and company played someSmash Ultimate, then took a quick break to introduce theRidleyamiibo, which looks smooth as hell. There’s also an inkling on the pedestal as well as two blank spaces — one of which is reserved for Daisy (who also has aMarioline figure), the newly announced alternate form of Peach....

Race the Sun is finally heading to Steam

It’ll drop on December 9th Race the Sunhas hadquite the interesting launch. After releasing straight from the developer’s website, the game’s creators ran into a major snag — they weren’t on Steam. Despite the fact that sales numbers weren’t quite up to expectations, the devs constantly listened to feedback to improve the quality of the game in the meantime, and evenorganized a “Not on Steam Sale”to help support other indie devs in the same position....

Resonance of Fate is long, fashionable, utterly nuts

It might be telling that the first time I heard of tri-Ace’s newest RPG was when it had its name changed fromEnd of EternitytoResonance of Fatefor the international release. It was strange to me at the time since both names were in English and made about the same amount of sense, but I shrugged it off and went on with my life. With this new uber-trailer out in the wild though, I’m thinking that I might have to pay more attention, because the game looksgoddamn nuts....

‘If the jumper is willing to suffer severe injuries…’ Everybody knows that people who play videogames are impressionable. After playingPac-Man, we invariably binge eat. After a session withCall of Duty, we all joined the military. But science says that maybe we shouldn’t do everything we see in a videogame. It turns out that jumping off buildings and landing in haystacks a laAssassin’s Creedcan be quite dangerous. In an article published in the student-runJournal of Physics Special Topicsfrom the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester, the authors found that a 1....
