Analyst cuts loose on Wii U provider Industry analyst Michael “Rainbow Pecs” Pachter islaying siege to Castle Nintendoonce again, with one of his harshest appraisals of the company yet. Rather than beat around the bush, the silver-tongued stallion has directly said Nintendo’s a bad company, and poured scorn on CEO Satoru Iwata. “I think Nintendo is no longer able to compete the way they did in the past and sell their consoles at a big profit,” he declared on his showPach Attack....

Be prepared to use a controller for Brutal Legend on PC [Want to know how a developer handled the PC version of a multiplatform game? Check out the PC Port Report for the full scoop.] It’s been about three and a half years sinceBrütal Legendcame out on consoles and it has finally found its way to the PC. It’s almost the same game that wereviewed back in 2009with clever rock-fueled writing that’s backed by mediocre gameplay, but I think PC gamers will find it less enjoyable than our console brethren....

PC players currently looking to climbPEAKwith the new Mesa update today are being hit with an invisible wall, halting their progress as they look to see everything the new biome has to offer. You’d think the various antlions or the heat would be the main issue, but these invisible walls are hitting a vast majority of players who recently updated the game with a micro patch, leaving the server host stranded to the mesa depths....

By Sea Handler Art I am a simple man: when I see Game Boy Advance era art, I’m immediately drawn to it. Created bySea Handler Art, this fantastic rendition brings the Phantom Thieves to the forefront of a bygone handheld, and I have to say, it fits. Although the Game Boy Advance was around after thePersonaseries was invented we never really got to see the two meet: though there were a fewShin Megami Tenseimainline and spinoff titles produced for it....

It’s mostly PS4 games I resisted impulsively buying anything during PlayStation Network’sfirst weekof holiday sales in North America, but how will I fare during week two? I don’t like my odds quite as much. Half price on Insomniac’s underwater metroidvaniaSong of the Deepwill almost certainly be my undoing. You can peruse the dealshere on the sale landing page, or using the listings below. For recommendations, I’d point toUntil Dawn($10) just like I always do, as well asRise of the Tomb Raider($30),Enter the Gungeon($9), andGravity Rush Remastered($18)....

Ding, dong the year is dead Take a deep breath. If you’re reading this, congratulations. The holidays have come and gone, and we’re one step closer to leaving 2017 in the dust. It hasn’t been an easy year, but here we are: alive, tougher, and desperate for some rest. The last twelve months were rough. But instead of lamenting all the terrible shit that happened, it’s time to talk about video games....

Breast Fire: Big Screen Edition If there’s one thing I love about 2018, it’s seeing more anime based on Go Nagai’s works.Devilman Crybabycame out on Netflix recently, andMazinger Zis getting a newmovie. In other words, we might be seeing the second coming of the ’70s. Speaking of super robots, Viz Media and Toei Animation are holding a two-dayMazinger Z: Infinityshowing in select U.S. theaters on February 11 and 12. As a person who’s seen and read a few of Go Nagai’s stuff, it’s amazing to see the film get this sort of treatment....

All the classic NES anime titles we never got Launching earlier in July, theWeekly Shonen Jump50th Anniversary Famicomis a celebration of classic anime and manga-based video games, pretty much all of which never saw the light of day on Western shores. Of course, such a cool niche device went down an absolute storm in its native Japan, as sales trackerMedia Createhas revealed that the product shifted over 110,000 units in just 48 hours of its release....

Considering I can’t play one-on-one fighting games to save my life, it’s somewhat self-defeating to call people who can’t throw a Dragon Punch “stupid,” since I’m clearly one of those people. My woeful lack of skill in all thingsStreet Fighter, however, may be getting a shot in the arm thanks toCapcom’s announcementthat it is simplifying the controls forSuper Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix(though sadly, not simplifying that awful name)....

Charity bundles on Itch have become a regular part of the indie game ecosystem. These bundles are usually one-offs, organized by different people in response to natural disasters, mutual aid requests, battles against human rights abuses, and other crises that spring up moment-to-moment. Every charity bundle of its kind is important, but rarely will there ever be a follow-up bundle under the same name or working towards the specific goal. In contrast, the Solo But Not Alone bundle has returned for its fifth year, still with the goal of assisting mental health charities....
