(but not Rocky) In a couple of weeks, the JapaneseSplatoon 2community will engage in colorful warfare once again, this time over Glico’s biscuity food-stuff “Pocky”, adored by anime characters and Westerners who love anime characters. The choice here is whether you prefer “Regular Pocky” or “Pocky Extremely Thins”. Because, if you can believe this, there’s athinner version of Pocky, despite it being the girth of a spaghetti strand at best....

Movin’ da chains Maddenhas taken itself too seriously for decades as the realistic-as-it-gets facsimile of NFL football. The next game is flipping its hat around and sitting backward on its chair, all to let you know that it has acoolside too.

At long last, we have a date (March 18) for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions ofMarvel’s Avengers– but is it too little too late? Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are surely hoping for a big boost after a rocky and slower-than-expected rollout of updates and new content post-launch. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions ofAvengerswill have“upgraded visuals and framerate,” “significantly faster load times,” “improved destruction,” and, in the case of the PS5’s DualSense controller, “haptic feedback for each hero....

Also, more Deponia In what is easily one of the most (understandably) barebones eShop release weeks to date, there’s very few actual games being released on Switch, and none on other platforms. The highlight is easily the arrival of two more games in theDeponiaseries:DoomsdayandGoodbye. As a reminder,DeponiaandChaos on Deponiaare already on the Switch. Beyond that we aren’t getting much! It’s just as well with Nintendo pushing out 30-40 games per week nonstop for the past year or so....

We should know in two days No Man’s Skyhas been working toward proper multiplayer for a long time. It launched in 2016 with players theoretically able to encounter each other in a functionally-infinite world (except not really).

Could we be getting a Weltall toy? There’s something strange about a company revealing plans for merchandise of a property they might not care about. In fact, it’s weird when it’s related to a title made by a team who doesn’t work for them anymore. Honestly, this was my reaction to Square Enix’s Comic-Con ’17 announcement about releasingXenogearsaction figures. While it’s not connected to them contracting Monolith Soft to make a sequel or remake, I can settle with owning some toys of the game’s signature robots....
